Description
For applications where space and budget are limited, the Fatek – FBs-10MA PLC Basic Main Unit offers an uncompromised solution. Unlike general-purpose controllers that may be overkill for simple tasks, the FBs-10MA allows engineers to implement powerful logic control in a footprint of just 60mm width.
SoC Technology for Industrial Reliability Despite its entry-level positioning, the FBs-10MA is powered by the same advanced System on Chip (SoC) architecture found in Fatek’s high-end models. This design consolidates the CPU, Hardware Logic Solver (HLS), and communication ports into a single silicon chip. The result is a controller that executes instructions rapidly (0.33µs) while remaining highly resistant to the electrical noise and vibration common in factory environments.
Cost-Effective Design The MA series distinguishes itself with fixed terminal blocks. This design choice reduces the overall unit cost, making it the perfect solution for “install-and-forget” applications where wiring is performed once during manufacturing and rarely disturbed. It provides a secure, vibration-proof connection essential for machine longevity.
Scalability While compact, the FBs-10MA is not a “blind” PLC. It includes a built-in RS-232 port (Port 0) for programming and monitoring. Furthermore, it retains expandability options; users can utilize the right-side expansion bus to add analog modules or additional digital points if the application requirements grow over time.
