FP2 System Requirements
Features:
- Four counter channels supporting direction-control, individual-input and phase-input operation.
- Eight interrupt inputs and eight programmable comparison outputs.
- 24 V DC inputs with NPN 5 to 24 V DC outputs for compatible Panasonic FP2 systems.
AFP2441 processes high-speed pulse and encoder signals in an FP2 or FP2SH rack. Counter modes and multiplier settings are selected by channel, while comparison results can operate dedicated outputs or support interrupt-based control.
Before replacement, preserve the slot allocation, counter modes, elapsed-value handling, comparison settings and interrupt configuration. Confirm the CPU version and backplane power budget, then test all affected signals under a controlled commissioning procedure.

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
AFP2441 supports direction-control, individual-input and phase-input counter operation. The input mode is selected separately for each counter channel, and phase-input operation supports documented multiplier settings.
Match the selected mode to the installed encoder or pulse source before restoring the machine program. An existing count sequence should not be inferred from terminal appearance alone.
Eight comparison set values can be assigned to counter channels. Each comparison result is produced from the relationship between the counter elapsed value and its configured set value, with output logic selected in shared-memory settings.
Eight interrupt inputs are also available. Preserve the original comparison-to-channel assignment, output logic and interrupt behavior before exchanging the unit.
Use requires an FP2 CPU Ver. 1.09 or later. Install the unit in the documented FP2 or FP2SH rack arrangement and keep the combined current consumption of all modules within the power-supply capacity.
The physical slot affects I/O allocation. Record the original position and all shared-memory parameters before removal, then verify diagnostics after energizing.
