Description
In industrial environments where panel space is at a premium, the Fatek – FBs-10MC PLC Advanced Main Unit delivers exceptional value. It utilizes Fatek’s proprietary System on Chip (SoC) technology, which integrates the CPU, Hardware Logic Solver (HLS), and communication interfaces into a single silicon chip. This architecture not only reduces the physical size of the unit but also significantly enhances its processing speed and immunity to electrical noise.
Advanced Features in a Micro Footprint While it shares the same physical dimensions as the economy “MA” series, the FBs-10MC is far more capable. The inclusion of a Real-Time Clock (RTC) enables the execution of time-critical logic, such as scheduling daily pump operations, managing lighting zones, or timestamping production data. This feature allows for a level of automation sophistication typically reserved for larger PLCs.
Simplified Maintenance To minimize downtime, the FBs-10MC is designed with 7.62mm detachable terminal blocks. Unlike competitive micro-PLCs with fixed wiring, this unit allows maintenance technicians to replace the hardware by simply unplugging the terminal block—no need to disconnect and re-terminate individual wires. This design choice drastically reduces the risk of wiring errors during service.
Connectivity and Expansion The unit comes standard with one RS-232 communication port (Port 0) for easy programming and HMI connectivity. Despite its compact 60mm width, it supports expansion via the right-side bus, allowing engineers to add additional communication ports or analog modules to meet specific project requirements.
