Fatek FBs-24MA PLC Basic Main Unit – 24 I/O Points

Achieve robust automation performance at an economical price point with the Fatek – FBs-24MA PLC Basic Main Unit. Engineered for industrial applications that require reliable logic control without unnecessary add-ons, this unit provides a total of 24 I/O points (14 Digital Inputs and 10 Digital Outputs), offering the perfect capacity for small-to-medium machinery.

Description

Fatek – FBs-24MA PLC Basic Main Unit is the ideal solution for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and system integrators looking to maximize value. In many dedicated control panels, wiring is performed once during assembly and rarely altered. The MA series capitalizes on this by utilizing fixed terminal blocks, which reduces hardware costs while ensuring a vibration-proof, secure connection for the lifetime of the machine.

SoC Technology: The Core of Reliability Despite its classification as an economy model, the FBs-24MA does not compromise on quality. It is powered by Fatek’s advanced System on Chip (SoC) architecture. This technology integrates the CPU, Hardware Logic Solver, and communication interfaces into a single silicon chip. This integration results in faster logic execution, reduced heat generation, and superior resistance to the electromagnetic interference often found in harsh factory environments.

Versatile Control Capabilities With 14 Digital Inputs and 10 Digital Outputs, the FBs-24MA offers sufficient connectivity to manage complex sequences. The inputs are compatible with standard 24VDC sensors (Sink/Source), while the outputs can be configured as Relays for driving high-current loads or Transistors for high-speed switching tasks. This versatility makes it suitable for controlling conveyors, packaging equipment, and simple process skids.

Expandable Design While it is an economy unit, the FBs-24MA is fully expandable. It features a built-in RS-232 port (Port 0) for programming and monitoring. Additionally, it supports the full range of FBs right-side expansion modules, allowing engineers to add analog channels, temperature inputs, or extra digital points if the system requirements expand in the future.
