Fatek-B1-24M Main Unit - Expandable 24 Point PLC (14 In / 10 Out)

Description

Fatek-B1-24M Main Unit represents the core of the B1 series, providing a balance between the simplicity of a micro-PLC and the modularity of larger systems. Unlike the fixed “B1z” series, the B1-24M offers future-proof flexibility; it allows engineers to attach expansion modules to the right side (up to 80 I/O points) and specialized communication or analog modules to the left side.

This unit comes equipped with 14 digital inputs (24VDC), which include 8 points of high-speed input (50KHz) for demanding motion control tasks, and 10 digital outputs (Relay or Transistor). The transistor models support high-speed pulse outputs (50KHz), making them suitable for servo and stepper motor control. With a built-in RS232 port (Port 1) and options for additional communication ports via expansion, the B1-24M serves as a versatile hub for diverse industrial automation networks.
