Smart LCD Screen The display (24 digits x 4 lines) can provide visual feedback of system status, I/O status, user configurable messages with dynamic data, bar graph, and ladder program monitor and controls. Non-LCD Model FT1A controllers are also available without embedded LCD/keypad. It’s...

Digital, Analog and High-speed Inputs Inputs on the 24V DC power models can be configured as digital, 0-10V DC analog or high-speed counters. Up to 8 analog inputs with 10-bit resolution and up to 6 HSC 100kHz can be configured. RJ45 Ethernet Port The embedded Ethernet port on the FT1A controllers provides users with easy access for remote maintenance and communication. It also supports industry standard Modbus TCP protocol. With Ethernet Remote I/O capability, the FT1A controller’s I/O can be easily expanded. Real-Time Clock Every FT1A controller is equipped with an embedded real-time clock...

A Closer Look at Our Feature-rich Controllers From Connecting to Remote Access From connectivity to remote access to visual display, FT1A leads the way with versatile, full-featured controllers. No other controllers offer such a broad range of capabilities at such a competitive price. Modbus TCP and RTU Modbus communication is the most common protocol in the automation industry. The entire FT1A family (except the 12 I/O CPU) supports Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU, making communication with other devices a breeze. Ethernet Connectivity Thanks to the embedded RJ45 Ethernet port (on all models except...

Remote I/O The FT1A remote I/O, available in all Ethernet-capable modules, enables you to expand the number of inputs and outputs by simply connecting separate FT1A modules via Ethernet as remote I/O slaves. The FT1A remote I/O can monitor and control a total of 192 points of I/O. 48-I/O type (master) + 48-I/O type (slave) + 48-I/O type (slave) + 48-I/O type (slave) = 192 I/O (30 inputs, 18 outputs) + (30 inputs, 18 outputs) + (30 inputs, 18 outputs) + (30 inputs, 18 outputs) = 120 inputs, 72 outputs Built-in Analog Inputs Built-in Real Time Clock The FT1A controllers support up to 8 built-in,...
