The newest family of controllers, from the industry's original manufacturer of micro PLCs, FT1A SmartAXIS controllers deliver affordability without compromise! With superior features and functions built in, design engineers can now enjoy more versatility and more choices for their automation needs than ever before.
These simple, powerful controllers deliver an exceptional value, giving you the most bang for your buck! FT1A controllers are available with 12, 24, 40 or 48 I/O, while a 3.8-inch HMI + PLC is also available with sophisticated features and a super-bright LCD screen. Whatever your application requires, the FT1A SmartAXIS family has a solution!
With so many color combinations, an intuitive and crisp graphical user interface can be constructed with unparalleled visibility.

FT1A Touch can easily be configured to communicate withIDEC or other PLCs such as Siemens, Automation Direct, Mitsubishi, Omron, and more.
With the embedded RJ45 Ethernet port, FT1A project filescan be remotely uploaded or downloaded over an Ethernet connection. Critical logging data can also be retrieved quickly.
The built-in Ethernet ports allow the FT1A Touch to be configured as a Client (Master) or Server (Slave) on the Modbus network. Modbus RTU (Master) is also supported. With these capabilities, FT1A Touch can communicate with other PLCs or devices using Modbus protocol.
Ladder programs can easily be monitored and controlled on the 3.8" (3.7"monochrome) display. It is a unique tool to debug the system without using WindLDR software and a PC. I/O status and any control parameter such as data register, timer, and internal relay can also be monitored and controlled.
Once power is applied to the FT1A Touch, it takes only 3 seconds for it to be fully functional. The fast start-up allows for fast, easy debugging and stress-free operation.
All FT1A SmartAXIS controllers are equipped with 4 point 10 Amp relay contacts. Traditional PLC relays are only rated for 2 Amps. This reduces the need to use interfacing relays and save time and money.
Don’t compromise processing speed for other functions! With FT1A Touch, basic instructions can be processed in 1850µs per 1000 steps of programming.
The FT1A Touch is equipped with eight digital inputs of which two can be configured as 0-10V DC analog inputs with 10-bit resolution. These built-in analog inputs can reduce overall system cost.
Using analog expansion cartridges, FT1A Touch can accept 0-10V DC, 4-20mA, RTD and Thermocouple inputs, with 12 to 15-bit resolution.
Up to 8 digital I/Os can be added to the FT1A Touch with 2 expansion cartridges. The input expansion cartridges accepts 12-24V DC signal.
Two 0-10V DC, 4-20mA analog outputs
Critical data can be saved and logged into the USB memory stick. Logged data can be easily be retrieved over Ethernet connection or simply plug the USB memory stick to your PC.
Project files can easily be transferred between a USB memory stick and the FT1A Touch. It’s a quick and convenient way to quickly update ladder and HMI programming or to program multiple units without connecting to the FT1A from a PC.
FT1A Touch is equipped with abundant memory capacity. With 48KB of logic controls programming, complex PLC programs can be constructed without much restriction. And with 5MB of configuration memory for the display, a unique and professional display interface can be easily configured.
With the embedded RJ45 Ethernet port, FT1A project files can be remotely uploaded or downloaded over an Ethernet connection. Critical logging data can also be retrieved quickly.
There are eight built-in inputs, four of which can be configured as high-speed counters with a maximum frequency range of 10kHz for single-phase or 5kHz for dual-phase.
With an improved PID algorithm and easier-to-configure dialog box, PID controls can be monitored using a single screen. Advanced PID control functions, such as auto-tuning, ARW (anti-reset windup) and bumpless transfer, are also supported.
