Today's automation environment demands a wide range of capabilities.
Whether it is system flexibility, space-saving features, ease of maintenance, powerful
programming, or special modules that your application requires, Idec's FA3S programmable
logic controller exceeds your expectations.
Idec's FA3S programmable logic controller combines the right program instructions and
hardware options for any application up to 256 I/O. With the FA3S, instructions such as
proportional scaling, step/subroutine, and annunciation commands are at your finger tips.
Valuable development time will be saved by using these or any of the 120+ instructions
available with the FA3S. Plus, a diverse range of special modules are available for data
communication, fiber optic remote I/O, and interrupt processing. |

The FA3S features a flexible, space-saving design. The unique I/O mounting
system allows you to build an I/O chassis that is exactly the right width, no matter how
small or large your system is. You'll never end up with an oversized, half-filled I/O
chassis crowding your control panel. You can also mount local I/O up to 30 feet from the
CPU with simple plug-in cables.
The FA3S controller is easy to maintain. Modules are held in place by
captive screws. Terminal blocks can be detached from the I/O module, and relays can be
easily replaced on output modules. Space-saving, high density, 32-point modules are also
available. The FA3S series is UL, CSA, and CE approved. |
