IDEC 7 Combined PLC+HMI Increases Display Size and I/O Options:
In a recent article from Idec, the focus was on their all-in-one PLC+HMI, such as the FT2J, which offers a compact solution that saves panel space by integrating the PLC and HMI into a single unit. This integration simplifies installation, as only one power supply is needed, and the devices share the same network connection. Additionally, the FT2J comes ready to use, with an intuitive integrated development environment for configuring both PLC and HMI functions, reducing configuration and programming time for end users.
The FT2J’s integrated PLC and HMI feature dedicated CPUs and user memory for optimized performance, communicating natively with each other. It offers built-in I/O, including DC discrete inputs, high-speed counters, analog inputs configurable as 0-10VDC or 4-20mA, and relay or transistor outputs. Expansion options allow for additional I/O, including analog inputs for RTD/thermocouple. All analog inputs and outputs are 12-bit resolution, ensuring accuracy in measurement and control.
