FT1A SmartAxis Touch

Many small scale applications such as simple machines could benefit by using a programmable graphical interface along with a discrete and analogue controller and I/O, but don’t have the panel space or the budget for separate components. The FT1A SmartAXIS Touch address this need by combining operator interface and control in a single compact package, all programmable with IDEC’s PC-based software. The FT1A Touch is available in 12 I/O and 14 I/O configurations with analogue I/O expansion capability suitable for advanced analogue monitoring and control.

Super bright, 65,536 TFT Colour LCD
With so many colour combinations, an intuitive and crisp graphical user interface can be constructed with unparalleled visibility. The 65K TFT colour unit is rated at 400cd/m2, while the monochrome unit is rated at 740cd/m2. With 32 levels of brightness control, the backlight can even be adjusted according to the surrounding conditions.

Drivers for IDEC and other PLCs
The FT1A Touch can easily be configured to communicate with DEC or other PLCs such as Siemens, Rockwell (Allen Bradley), Mitsubishi, Omron, and many more.

Ethernet Connectivity
With the embedded RJ45 Ethernet port, FT1A project file scan be remotely uploaded or downloaded over an Ethernet connection. Critical logging data can also be retrieved quickly.

Modbus TCP or RTU
The built-in Ethernet ports allow the FT1A Touch to be configured as a Client (Master) or Server (Slave) on the Modbus network. Modbus RTU (Master) is also supported. With these capabilities, FT1A Touch can communicate with other PLCs or devices using Modbus protocol.

3.8” Colour or 3.7” Mono Touch screen
Option: 8 IP (inc. 2 AI) & 4 OP (10A relay) or 8 IP (inc. 2 AI) & 4 OP (transistor) + 2 AO
Expansion ports for additional A IO (2 ports = 4 A IO channels)
Ethernet, RS232, RS485 comms for remote connectivity or external device connection
Supports Modbus RTU & TCP/IP
USB for data handling and program transfer

FC6A MicroSmart PLC

MicroSmart FC6A , a powerful PLC with up to 520 digital I/O and 126 analogue I/O. The MicroSmart FC6A provides the power of a PAC (programmable automation controller) in a low-cost controller with a small form factor, making it an ideal fit for demanding applications.

Three MicroSmart PLC models are available, each with 24 Vdc or 100-240 Vac input power. The 16 I/O model has 9 inputs, and 7 relay or transistor outputs. The 24 I/O model has 14 inputs, and 10 relay or transistor outputs. The 40 I/O model has 24 inputs, and 16 relay or transistor outputs. Each model also includes an integral 0-10 Vdc analogue input. The 16 and 24 I/O models can accommodate one plug-in analogue cartridge, and the 40 I/O model can accommodate two plug-in analogue cartridges. Each cartridge has two analogue I/O points, either two inputs or two outputs.

All models have a built-in RJ45 Ethernet port, and an RJ45 RS232C/RS485 serial port. A plug-in cartridge adds an additional RS232C/RS485 port. An SD memory port and a mini-B USB port can each be used for data logging, program storage/transfer, firmware updating or recipe storage. The Ethernet port supports the Modbus TCP protocol, and the serial port supports the Modbus RTU protocol. IIoT capability is provided by custom web pages which can be configured for remote monitoring and control. These web pages are stored in the MicroSmart PLC, which functions as a web server when its built-in Ethernet port or the HMI Ethernet port is connected to the Internet. These web pages can be accessed via any web browser running on any Internet-connected device such as a remote PC, a tablet or a smartphone.

Up to 4 expansion modules can be added to the 16 I/O model, and up to 15 expansion modules can be added to the 24 and 40 I/O models. These modules can be of any type with no restrictions as to the number of analogue and specialty modules. This gives the 40 I/O MicroSmart PLC the capability to handle up to 520 I/O with a maximum of 126 analogue I/O, much more than a typical micro PLC. The 40 I/O model also includes support for the CAN J1939 protocols. The CAN J1939 protocol is often used in diesel engine applications for various types of vehicles and vessels, and for mobile power generators.
