Fatek-B1Z-20M Main Unit – 20 Point PLC (12 In / 8 Out)

Fatek-B1Z-20M Main Unit is a cost-optimized micro-programmable controller designed for standalone industrial applications. As a member of the economical B1z series, this unit provides a robust automation solution with 20 integrated I/O points (12 Inputs / 8 Outputs) in a highly compact form factor.

Description

For engineers seeking a streamlined controller without unnecessary overhead, the Fatek-B1Z-20M Main Unit offers the perfect balance of performance and price. By eliminating left-side expansion capabilities, the B1z series significantly reduces hardware costs while retaining the powerful logic processing capabilities of the standard B1 series.

This unit is equipped with 12 digital inputs (24VDC), including 6 points of high-speed input (50KHz) for precise sensor reading, and 8 digital outputs (available in Relay or Transistor configurations). The transistor models further support 4 points of 50KHz pulse output, enabling effective motion control for servo or stepper motors. With its rugged case and “all-in-one” design, the B1Z-20M is built to withstand harsh industrial environments while simplifying panel layout and wiring.
