Control panel suitable for stand-alone operation

User-friendly GUI (FP6 Terminal)

Security Enhancement against theft of program files and the PG-FP6 main unit

The following three features are added to enhance security against theft of program files and the PG-FP6 main unit.

Encryption of program files
Saving of encrypted files in the PG-FP6 main unit
Simultaneous decryption and writing in the PG-FP6

The program file encryption function can be run by using the encryption utility program (RPE.exe) from the command line. The file is among those installed by the FP6 Terminal installer.

Major Functions

Stand-alone programming
PC-controlled programming using dedicated GUI (FP6 Terminal）
Up to 8 savable programming environments
Optimized for production line programming (command control or remote control)
Programming a unique code to a designated area of flash memory
Function to control PG-FP6 main unit (prohibiting uploading and setup)
Encryption of program files
Saving of encrypted files in the PG-FP6 main unit
Simultaneous decryption and writing in the PG-FP6
Simultaneous selection of multiple program files
Gang programming

High Compatibility with the Predecessor

Designed with compatibility with the predecessor PG-FP5 in mind for smooth migration.

Setup files created with the PG-FP5 can be imported
Support of PG-FP5-enabled MCUs
(For the V850 and 78K family, only MCUs with single-power-supply flash memory is supported.)
The same specifications of control buttons, message display, and status LEDs
The same specification of connector layout
Connectable to boards designed by using the PG-FP5
Pursuing programming GUI compatibility
