Fatek FBs-32MN PLC NC Positioning Main Unit – 32 Points

Fatek – FBs-32MN PLC NC Positioning Main Unit is a specialized controller designed for high-precision motion control applications. Unlike standard logic controllers, this unit is equipped with advanced differential line drivers, enabling it to drive servo and stepper motors with exceptional speed and noise immunity.

Description

Industrial automation often demands more than just simple relay switching; it requires precise position control. The Fatek – FBs-32MN PLC NC Positioning Main Unit is engineered to meet this specific need. It bridges the gap between general-purpose PLCs and expensive dedicated motion controllers by incorporating high-speed hardware capabilities directly into the CPU unit.

Precision via Differential Signaling The standout feature of the MN series is its I/O architecture. While standard PLCs operate on single-ended 24VDC signals, the FBs-32MN features dedicated 5V differential line driver inputs and outputs. This allows for pulse frequencies up to 920 kHz, significantly faster than the standard 200 kHz limit of other models. Differential signaling is critical for maintaining signal integrity over longer cable runs and in electrically noisy factory environments.

Integrated SoC Technology Powered by Fatek’s proprietary System on Chip (SoC), the FBs-32MN consolidates the CPU, hardware logic solver, and high-speed counter hardware into a single chip. This integration ensures that complex motion instructions, such as linear interpolation and dynamic speed ramping, are executed immediately without lagging the main program scan time.

Cost-Effective Motion Solution By integrating NC positioning capabilities directly into the main unit, the FBs-32MN eliminates the need for separate, costly positioning modules. This streamlined approach reduces cabinet space requirements, simplifies wiring through detachable terminal blocks, and lowers the overall Bill of Materials for machine builders.
