Fatek-FBs-16XY Expansion Modules - 16 Point Digital I/O (8 In / 8 Out)

Description

In dynamic industrial environments, machine requirements often evolve. The Fatek-FBs-16XY Expansion Modules offer a streamlined path to scalability, allowing engineers to add essential I/O capacity to their FBs main units. This module is specifically configured with 8 inputs and 8 outputs, making it highly versatile for general automation tasks where the ratio of input devices (switches, sensors) to output devices (relays, lamps, valves) is approximately equal.

Built with the same robust standards as the main PLC units, the FBs-16XY features optically isolated inputs to prevent electrical noise from interfering with logic processing. The outputs are available in two standard configurations: Relay (R) for high-current load switching or Transistor (T) for high-speed, long-life operation. With bright LED indicators for every point, operators can perform quick visual diagnostics, ensuring minimum downtime during maintenance.
