Description
The FMD1616-10 PLC packs an amazing amount of PLC hardware into a low cost, small foot-print circuit board. The flexibility of being an open board design, combined with the Ladder+BASIC programming software lets users quickly finish complex programming projects in much shorter time than traditional ladder-only PLCs or single board computers (which often require C language expertise and are not field-programmable).
With the inclusion of an onboard Ethernet port that can connect to other devices or web servers for control or data up/down-loading, 32 multi-functions digital I/Os and 10 analog I/Os (12-bit), the FMD1616-10 is a popular choice with system integrators for one-off projects as well as OEM equipment makers that employ hundreds or thousands of this great little PLC. (Please scroll for details)
Built into the FMD1616-10 PLC are 16 digital inputs (includes 2 high speed encoders and 4 interrupts), 16 digital outputs (supports 4 PWM channels and 2 stepper motor pulse/direction controls), 8 analog inputs (0-5V, 12-bit) and 2 analog outputs (0-5V or 0-10V, 12-bit). Digital I/O capacity can be expanded to 128 digital inputs and 128 digital outputs using Triangle Research expansion boards EXP1616R, EXP2424, or EXP4040. Analog I/O expansion modules which connect to the FMD1616-10's RS485 port are also readily available.
