7” FT2J Series Combined PLC + HMI
A technologically advanced 7” vivid multi-touch display, with an integrated PLC controller and expandable I/O, makes the new FT2J Series a leading choice for many applications across a wide variety of industries.
A wide operating temperature range of -20°C to +55°C as well as IP66F, IP67F, Type 4X, 12, 13, and Class I Div 2 approval ratings, assures reliable operation in the toughest environments. These touchscreens are built for endurance and are backed by an industry-leading three-year warranty.
Highlights
Combining a PLC and touchscreen HMI interface into a single platform provides many advantages for monitoring and controlling smaller machines, process skids, and HVAC systems.
Dual CPU Configuration
The FT2J features two CPU's working in parallel for the PLC and HMI. This design enables high-speed, real-time control without compromising HMI functionality, broadening the range of compatible applications.
One Compact Design
One PLC + HMI consumes less panel space than separate units.
Simplified Installation
A combined PLC+HMI minimizes wiring time because no connections need to be made between the PLC and HMI, a single power source powers both the PLC and HMI, and only one network connection needs to be made to the outside world. Plus, push-in type power connector is used for providing easy installation and service.
Streamlined Programming
The combined PLC+HMI unit tightly integrates the PLC and HMI programming into a single suite of software which cuts configurations and programming time, and the PLC+HMI is ready to use and communicate right out of the box.
Advanced PLC Control Capabilities
With built-in full function controller features and functions, both onboard and expandable I/O, the FT2J Series comes with built-in analog inputs/outputs and enhanced PLC features, including PID, PWM control, script programming and much more.
I/O expansion with cartridges
Up to 2 digital I/O cartridges or analog I/O cartridges can be connected to add up to 8 digital I/O, and up to 4 analog I/O.
Analog I/O
Equipped with a built-in analog I/O to control analog signals from 0 to 10V DC (4 to 20 mA) with 12-bit resolution. An analog potentiometer connected to the analog input allows for easy configuration of analog settings, such as a timer.
PID Control
PID algorithm is used to enable cascade control. Available for applications requiring temperature, flow, and pressure control.
Intuitive Touchscreen Interface
The HMI’s projected capacitive touch panel (PCAP) advanced technology—saves space while providing a smaller footprint and improves performance. This PCAP touch panel provides a high degree of visibility, durability, and functionality. In addition to being multi-touch, this PCAP touch panel is compatible with thin gloves.
Highly visible glass-top structure
Easily kept clean using chemical washdown or simple wipes. Besides being water- and scratch-resistant, PCAP is responsive and provides a high tolerance to resist false signals when dirt or water droplets are present on the face of the HMI.
No mechanical durability issues
The PCAP touch panel uses a sensor board to detect changes in electric charge to identify the position of the touch.There is no mechanical deterioration allowing for agile operation and multi-touch sensing gloves less than 1.5mm thick (*1) can be used.
*1) The touchscreen may not work with gloves thicker than 1.5mm, depending on the material of the gloves and the environment.

Environmentally-Friendly
Coin cell batteries not required
Battery-free design with data stored on nonvolatile magnetic media. Time information is preserved with power from large-capacity capacitors. Since lithium batteries are not consumable, they are not affected during ocean and air transportation and do not require maintenance for battery replacement, leading to reduced waste.
Reduced power consumption
FT2J consumes approximately 40% less power than PLC and display combined*
