One PLC + HMI consumes less panel space than separate units. The FT1J requires only approx. half the depth of the two devices combined, and the FT2J requires approx. a third of the depth.
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.
The FT1J consumes approx. 30% less power than a PLC and display combined, and the FT2J consumes approx. 40% less.*
* Compared with equivalent models (the FC6A-C16R4CE and HG1J-4FT22TG-S for the FT1J, and the FC6A-C24R4CE and HG2J-7UT22TF-B for the FT2J).
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.
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.
With built-in full function controller features and functions, both onboard and expandable I/O, the SmartAxis Series comes with built-in analog inputs/outputs and enhanced PLC features, including PID, PWM control, script programming and much more.
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.
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.
A PID algorithm is used to enable cascade control. Available for applications requiring temperature, flow, and pressure control.
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.
Easily kept clean using chemical washdown or simple wipes. Besides being water- and scratch-resistent, PCAP is responsive and provides high tolerance to resist false signals when dirt or water droplets are present on the face of the HMI.
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 thick1 can be used.
1. The touchscreen may not work with gloves thicker than 1.5mm, depending on the material of the gloves and environment.
The tempered glass maintains high impact resistance. The FT2J's panel (covered with protective film) passed a drop test with a 1kg steel ball (dropped onto the center of the glass from a height of 60cm). At a drop height of 80cm, even if the glass was damaged the protective film prevented glass shards from being scattered.2
2. The stated results are from in-house testing and do not guarantee performance.
The operating temperature range for both devices is－20 to＋55°C*. They can be used with equipment installed in hot and cold environments.
The glass PCAP touchscreen is very hygienic. It can be cleaned by spraying disinfectant or wiping with a wet cloth soaked in highly concentrated chemicals such as alcohol.
The surface of the FT1J and FT2J has a glass top structure that maintains high visibility and prevents deterioration and clouding from UV rays over a long period of time.
IP66F and IP67F ratings make these units suitable for cleaning with direct water jets.
Robust controllers built for demanding environments
-20 to 55°C, suitable for both hot and cold environments.
Industry-leading 50,000 hours of backlight life ensures longevity.
Battery-free MRAM and hyper-capacitor design eliminates the need for battery replacements.
Consumes approximately 40% less power than separate PLC and HMI combined.
PCAP touchscreens provide multi-touch capabilities and respond to a light touch without needing force.
The touchscreen works seamlessly with gloves on or off, enhancing usability.
IP66F and IP67F ratings make these units suitable for wash-down applications and subject to oil spills.
Built for endurance and backed by a three-year warranty.
UL61010, UL Type 4X, 12, and 13, Class I Div 2 for hazardous locations.
Self-capacitance technology ensures that the touchscreen is not affected by water drops, preventing accidental inputs.
