Description
The Fx2424 PLC is Triangle Research's top-of-the-line PLC. Featuring a built-in Ethernet interface, the Fx2424 is readily programmable over the Internet using the highly-acclaimed i-TRiLOGI programming/monitoring software.
The Fx2424 PLC has 24 digital inputs, 24 digital outputs and 12 analog I/Os built-in and is expandable up to 256 digital I/Os. It is capable of controlling and/or driving up to 3 stepper motors directly with up to 4A per phase @24VDC. Its high speed digital inputs allow up to 3 quadrature encoders which may be connected to provide both position and speed information of moving devices.
With 1 RS232 port and 2 RS485 ports and all of them supporting Modbus ASCII/RTU protocols, the Fx2424 is fully equipped for connectivity to a whole range of peripheral devices.
