FT1A SmartAXIS

This versatile 4.3-inch all-in-one controller is a powerful fusion of a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and a Human-Machine Interface (HMI), designed to streamline automation tasks in compact industrial environments. Engineered with a high-speed dual-CPU architecture, the unit delivers exceptional processing performance and reduced scan times—ideal for applications that demand fast and reliable response. Despite its small footprint, this device offers impressive flexibility with up to 14 onboard I/O points and support for an additional 22 expandable I/O, accommodating both digital and analog signals to suit a variety of system requirements.

Built-in analog inputs and outputs enhance its capability to manage complex control scenarios such as closed-loop feedback systems, process regulation, and real-time signal monitoring. Advanced features like PID control, Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), high-speed inputs, and custom script programming enable precise automation and sophisticated logic control. The 4.3″ HMI utilizes Projected Capacitive (PCAP) touchscreen technology, delivering sharp visuals, multi-touch interaction, and resistance to accidental input from water or debris—ensuring reliability even in rugged or wet industrial environments.

Communication and connectivity are standout features, making this unit ideal for modern IIoT deployments. It comes equipped with support for MQTT, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP, and BACnet/IP, allowing seamless integration into a wide range of networked systems. Additional capabilities include a built-in web server, FTP file transfers, email alerts, and even Twitter/X integration for remote notifications. The controller operates reliably in temperatures ranging from –20°C to +55°C, and is protected by a 3-year manufacturer’s warranty, making it a durable, future-ready solution for small machine control, process skids, HVAC systems, and other compact automation applications.
