Integrated PLC and HMI:
A technologically advanced 7” vivid multi-touch display, with an integrated PLC controller and expandable I/O, provides unique features and advanced functions for I/O applications. Combining a PLC and HMI into a single platform gives many advantages for monitoring and controlling smaller machines, process skids, and HVAC systems.
Advanced PLC Control Capabilities:
With built-in full function controller features and functions, both onboard and expandable I/O, the FT2J Series comes with built-in analog inputs/outputs and enhanced PLC features, including PID, PWM control, multilingual capabilities, script programming and much more.
Intuitive Touchscreen Interface:
The HMI’s projected capacitive touch panel (PCAP) advanced technology—saves space while providing a smaller footprint and improves performance. This PCAP touch panel provides a high degree of visibility, durability, and functionality. In addition to being multi-touch, this PCAP touch panel is compatible with think gloves.
Many small scale applications such as simple machines could benefit by using a programmable graphical interface along with a discrete and analog 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 analog I/O expansion capability suitable for advanced analog monitoring and control.
