The IDEC FT1A Touch 14 I/O micro programmable controller series of combo HMI+PLC units includes new features for advanced analog monitoring and control, allowing users to economically perform both operator interface and control for a wider range of applications. By combining operator interface and control in a single, compact package, the FT1A Touch 14 I/O addresses both space and budget issues for small-scale applications. It is also programmable with IDEC’s PC-based software. The device has 14 I/O consisting of eight discrete inputs that can handle switching frequencies up to 10KHz and four discrete outputs and two analog outputs, which can be configured as either 0-10Vdc or 4-20mA. PID control functions include auto-tuning, anti-reset windup and bumpless transfer. Programming of the control functions is accomplished with IDEC’s WindLDR, and the HMI is programmed using IDEC’s WindO/I-NV3 software. Critical data can be logged to a USB memory stick and then retrieved by removing the USB stick, or by accessing the data stored on the USB stick via Ethernet, which serves as a way for an OEM to program multiple units, and for users to quickly update ladder and HMI programs.

The built-in Ethernet ports allow the FT1A Touch 14 I/O to be configured as a client (master) or server (slave) on the Modbus network. It also contains native drivers for communication with PLCs from a wide range of manufacturers using various protocols. With 47.4KB of logic control programming memory, complex PLC programs can be constructed without undue restriction. And with 5MB of configuration memory for the display, a full-featured display interface can be easily configured.
