Fatek-FBs-20X Expansion Modules - 20 Point Digital I/O Extension

Description

In industrial automation, scalability is a critical factor for long-term project success. The Fatek-FBs-20X Expansion Modules provide a robust digital extension solution, adding 12 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs to your existing FBs control system. This specific I/O split is engineered to handle complex logic sequences where sensor inputs often outnumber actuator outputs.

Built on Fatek’s renowned System on Chip (SoC) technology, these modules ensure consistent performance and high noise immunity. The inputs are optically isolated to protect the internal logic from voltage spikes, while the outputs are available in robust relay or fast-switching transistor configurations to suit various load requirements. The module integrates directly into the FBs series expansion bus, ensuring high-speed data transmission between the main CPU and the expansion points without communication lag.
