Small/Medium FA3S
Overview
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. Using these or any of the 120+ instructions available with the FA3S will save valuable development time. Plus, diverse ranges 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..
