FMD1616-10

An open-board Super PLC with built-in Ethernet, 32 multi-function digital I/O and 10 analog I/O — scaling the FMD family up for larger machines while keeping the low-cost, field-programmable design.

Ethernet Modbus TCP RS485 / RS232 Analog I/O HSC / PWM Web server
  • Programmable over serial, LAN or the Internet — no extra gateway
  • Acts as a Modbus TCP / serial master or remote unit
  • Stepper control, PWM, high-speed counting and PID built in
  • Programmed with free i-TRiLOGI (Ladder + TBASIC), simulator included
$529 USD starter kit Board only from $330 USD

Overview

The FMD family, scaled up to 32 I/O.

The FMD1616-10 packs an amazing amount of PLC hardware into a low-cost, small-footprint board. Its open-board design plus Ladder + TBASIC software lets users finish complex projects far faster than ladder-only PLCs or single-board computers.

Built in are 16 digital inputs (2 high-speed encoders, 4 interrupts), 16 digital outputs (4 PWM, 2 stepper controls), 8 analog inputs and 2 analog outputs — expandable to 128 digital I/O via EXP boards, with RS485 analog expansion also available. It works with TRi's free OEM tools for remote, protected upgrades.
