Many compact automation tasks—like those found in simple machines, small OEM systems, or localized control panels—can greatly benefit from having both a programmable graphical interface and a reliable discrete/analog controller. However, limited panel space and budget constraints often make it difficult to install separate PLC and HMI units. The FT1A SmartAXIS Touch offers an efficient and cost-effective solution by combining both interface and control capabilities into one streamlined, space-saving device.
This all-in-one unit is fully programmable using IDEC’s intuitive PC-based software and is available in 12 I/O and 14 I/O configurations, with support for analog expansion cartridges, making it well-suited for applications that require real-time monitoring and complex analog control. Whether you’re managing basic automation tasks or more advanced operations with analog inputs and outputs, the FT1A SmartAXIS Touch delivers robust performance, simplified wiring, and a smaller footprint—all while maintaining flexibility and scalability in a wide range of control scenarios.
