Adaptable Hardware
FT1J Input/output points: up to 22 (analog/digital)
Dual CPU configuration for high-speed processing
The FT1J and FT2J feature two CPUs working in parallel for the PLC and HMI. This design enables high-speed, real-time control without compromising HMI functionality, broadening the range of compatible applications.
I/O Expansion with Cartridges
Up to 2 digital I/O cartridges or analog I/O cartridges can be connected, to add up to 8 digital I/O and up to 4 analog I/O.
Analog I/O
Equipped with a built-in analog I/O to control analog signals from 0 to 10V DC (4 to 20 mA) with 12-bit resolution. An analog potentiometer connected to the analog input allows for easy configuration of analog settings, such as a timer.
PID Temperature Control
A PID algorithm is used to enable cascade control. Available for applications requiring temperature, flow, and pressure control.
Open Network
Highly Visible Glass-Top Structure
Easily kept clean using chemical washdown or simple wipes. Besides being water- and scratch-resistent, PCAP is responsive and provides high tolerance to resist false signals when dirt or water droplets are present on the face of the HMI.
No Mechanical Durability Issues
The PCAP touch panel uses a sensor board to detect changes in electric charge to identify the position of the touch. There is no mechanical deterioration, allowing for agile operation, and multi-touch sensing gloves less than 1.5mm thick1 can be used.
1. The touchscreen may not work with gloves thicker than 1.5mm, depending on the material of the gloves and environment.
