FT1A Touch 14 I/O Controller combination of HMI and controller solutions using PC-based software from IDEC
For companies that have limited space, or the absence of a budget for the space component of a separate panel, then FT1A Touch 14 I / O can be combined with the HMI and controller using PC-based software from IDEC. IDEC products from the controller provides up to 158 discrete and analog inputs and outputs. FT1A Touch 14 I / O using FT1A controller as a remote I / O slave, PID control, Ethernet communication, and the built-in 3.8-inch touch screen HMI in an economical package at an affordable price. Some components supporting performance FT1A Touch 14 I / O controller as follow:
Drivers for IDEC and other PLCs
Driver for IDEC specifically designed for easy configuration and communication between multiple controllers. Many small-scale applications can save space by using HMI panel combined with discrete and analog controllers and I / O in a single package. The package is suitable when there is no room panel or absence of a budget for the separate components. Addressing FT1A Touch 14 I / O can be combined by HMI and controller using a PC based software from IDEC.
Modbus TCP or RTU
Modbus RTU supports communication between the Client and Server. Many vendors use Modbus to facilitate the integration of the system with other systems. The integration between these networks become the communication standard in the industry to interconnect smart controller. Today many mode of communication RTU (Remote Terminal Unit), with composition every 8 bytes sent message contains two 4-bit hexadecimal characters. The advantage of using this mode is the same baud rate, resulting in the character density more data so that the speed of access is guaranteed.
Ethernet Connectivity
Important data can be recorded or retrieved via a USB memory stick, or via Ethernet. Built-in Ethernet port allows FT1A Touch 14 I / O to be configured as a client (slave) or server (master) on the network Modbus RTU (master or slave). With this capability, FT1A can communicate with other PLCs or devices using Modbus protocol. FT1A also features native driver for communication with PLCs from different manufacturers using a variety of protocols.
Digital and Analog Inputs
FT1A Touch 14 I / O capable of providing up to 158 discrete and analog input output (using FT1A controller as a remote I / O slave), PID control, Ethernet communication, and the built-in 3.8-inch touch screen HMI in a compact package economical. Moreover IDEC's specialized unit for applications requiring graphical user interface, as well as discrete and analog control at an affordable price with the support of the 8 digital inputs, two of which can be configured as 0-10V DC or 4-20mA analog inputs with a resolution of 10- beet
Data Logging
PLC This type is equipped with an embedded Ethernet RJ45 port, which can be used to remotely scan uploaded or downloaded via Ethernet connection. Benefits that can be drawn from this is facilitate critical logging data can be retrieved quickly. Logging data storage process can be done in a USB memory stick. Login data can be easily retrieved via Ethernet connection or by removing the USB memory stick from FT1A Touch 12 and 14 I / O types and incorporated into a laptop or PC.
Conclusion
As a provider who provides PLC-efficient in terms of space, IDEC's specialized unit for applications requiring graphical user interface, as well as discrete and analog control at an affordable price. PLC is widely used in applications of small and medium scale industries that require only a small space, but by having a good performance.
