Description
The Fx1616-BA PLC is a Triangle Research's top-of-the-line PLC. Though capable as a full-function, general purpose industrial PLC, the "BA" in its part number refers to "Building Automation" and suggests its special application focus.
Starting with the control I/Os, the Fx1616-BA has built-in 32 digital I/Os (expandable to 256) that interface directly to 24VAC or DC power, 8 analog inputs and 4 analog outputs that are 0 to 10V range. Among the I/Os are 4 DC outputs that can also be used as PWM or AC phase control (light dimmer type) outputs, or to drive stepper motor(s). Also, there are 3 high-speed encoder inputs, 6 incoming pulse frequency counter inputs, as well as a built-in Infrared remote control interface. Unlike other product makes, these incredible features come in the standard package at no additional cost to the buyer/user.
