![]() ![]() With the addition of serial communication modules, up to 33 RS232C/RS485 serial ports are supported Optional Plug-in communication cartridges can be added to create two additional RS232C/RS485 ports. Files can be stored at the PLC or logged to the PLC’s SD memory card for transfer to an FTP server.Īll models have two built-in RJ45 Ethernet ports. Up to 16 users can be managed simultaneously, and access folders can also be managed. In addition, any device with Bluetooth capability, such as a bar code reader, can also be configured to communicate with the PLC.įTP communication allows users to configure the FC6A Plus as a FTP Client or Server for transfer of programs and logged data between a server and the PLC, providing a convenient and effective way to remotely communicate with the PLC. This eliminates the need to stock, locate and connect a cable to the PLC for these tasks, and provides access to the PLC from a distance up to 10 meters. The FC6A Plus also includes an optional Bluetooth wireless communication adapter, giving users the power to monitor the PLC and download/upload programs from any PC or laptop with Bluetooth capability. This gives the FC6A Plus the capability to handle up to 2,060 I/O with a maximum of 511 analog I/O, much more than a typical micro PLC. Up to 63 I/O expansion modules can be added. Each analog cartridge has 2 analog I/O points, either 2 inputs or 2 outputs. Each discrete cartridge has 4 discrete I/O points, either 4 inputs or 4 outputs. Each model can accommodate up to three plug-in discrete, analog, serial communication or Bluetooth cartridges. Each model also includes an integral 0-10 Vdc analog input with 12-bit resolution. The 32 I/O model has 16 inputs, and 16 transistor outputs. The 16 I/O model has 8 inputs, and 8 relay or transistor outputs. Two models are available, each with 24 Vdc input power. ![]() These features allow the FC6A Plus to handle large programs with complex control requirements such as PID, flow totalization and recipes. ![]() These capabilities are combined with extensive data memory, more than double the capacity of a typical micro PLC. To ensure high-level performance with this expanded I/O count, basic instructions can be executed in the extremely fast speed of 21 nanoseconds, and program memory is 800 kB (100K steps), much larger than competitors’ micro PLCs. With its expanded I/O capacity, the FC6A Plus can control and monitor the largest machines or entire small-scale manufacturing facilities, a capability seldom found in a micro PLC. IDEC Corporation announces the release of its MicroSmart FC6A Plus, a powerful PLC with up to 2,060 local I/O. ![]()
