Description
Fatek – FBs-14MA PLC Basic Main Unit is the ideal choice for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and system integrators seeking a “install-and-forget” solution. For many standalone machines and control panels, features like detachable terminals or built-in clocks are not required. The MA series addresses this by streamlining the hardware design to maximize value without compromising the core control capabilities.
SoC Technology: Premium Performance in a Basic Package Do not let the “Basic” label mislead you. The FBs-14MA is powered by the same advanced System on Chip (SoC) architecture used in the high-end MC and MN series. This single-chip design integrates the CPU, Hardware Logic Solver, and communication ports, resulting in rapid instruction execution (0.33µs) and superior resistance to the electromagnetic interference common in factory environments.
Cost-Effective Fixed Wiring The defining characteristic of the MA series is the use of fixed terminal blocks. This design is specifically intended for applications where the wiring harness is installed once during manufacturing and rarely disconnected. This approach significantly lowers the unit cost while ensuring a secure, vibration-resistant connection for the lifetime of the equipment.
Compact yet Expandable Despite its small 60mm width, the FBs-14MA is fully expandable. It includes a built-in RS-232 port (Port 0) for programming and supports the full range of FBs right-side expansion modules. This means you can start with a basic setup and add analog channels, temperature inputs, or additional digital points later if your project requirements evolve.
