Fatek-B1-14M Main Unit - Expandable 14 Point PLC (8 In / 6 Out)

Description

The Fatek-B1-14M Main Unit is engineered to deliver high reliability in a streamlined package. Powered by Fatek’s proprietary System on Chip (SoC) technology, this PLC integrates the Central Processing Unit (CPU), Hardware Logic Solver (HLS), and high-speed counters into a single chip. This architectural advantage not only reduces the physical size of the unit but also significantly enhances its resistance to electromagnetic interference and vibration in harsh industrial environments.

Equipped with 8 digital inputs (24VDC), including 4 points of 50KHz high-speed input, and 6 digital outputs (Relay or Transistor), the B1-14M is well-suited for motion control and precise counting applications. The transistor output models feature 2 points of 50KHz pulse output, enabling direct control of servo or stepper drives. Furthermore, the unit includes a standard RS232 communication port (Port 1), with the capability to expand up to 2 additional communication ports via left-side modules, ensuring seamless connectivity with HMIs and other peripherals.
