Fx1616-BA

A full-function Super PLC tuned for building automation: 24VAC/DC I/O, relay outputs, 0–10V analog, floating-point math and a built-in IR remote interface.

Ethernet Modbus TCP RS485 / RS232 0–10V Analog I/O Relay outputs Floating point IR remote
  • 24VAC or DC digital I/O — direct interface to building loads
  • 12 relay outputs (10A peak) plus 4 DC/PWM outputs
  • Floating-point math, PID and high-speed counting built in
  • Programmed with free i-TRiLOGI v7 (Ladder + TBASIC), simulator included
$639 USD starter kit Board only from $424 USD

Overview

Built for building automation.

The Fx1616-BA is a top-of-the-line, full-function industrial PLC — and the "BA" in its name points to its Building Automation focus.

It has 32 digital I/O (expandable to 256) that interface directly to 24VAC or DC, 8 analog inputs and 4 analog outputs at 0–10V. Among the I/O are 4 DC outputs usable as PWM or AC phase-control (dimmer) outputs or to drive stepper motors, plus 3 high-speed encoder inputs, 6 pulse-frequency counter inputs and a built-in infrared remote interface — all standard, at no extra cost. It works with TRi's free OEM tools for remote, protected upgrades.
