Memory Cartridge

The optional memory cartridge can be used to easily
transfer programs from the internal ROM memory of FT1A
controllers to a memory cartridge or vice versa. It’s a
convenient method to update the PLC program in the field.

10A Relay and High-speed Outputs

The FT1A controller with relay outputs is equipped with
four 10A relay contacts. The transistor outputs model is
also equipped with two 100kHz high-speed outputs for
simple positioning controls. With remote I/O capability,
additional outputs can easily be added.

Every FT1A controller is equipped with an embedded real-time
clock for time-controlled applications. With the built-in, real­time clock, log data can also be tracked and, with just a click,
daylight savings time can easily be setup.

RS232C and RS485 Ports

Up to two RS232C and/or RS485 communication cartridges
can be plugged into the FT1A controllers to allow the PLC to
communicate with other serial devices. It also supports industry
standard Modbus RTU protocol.

A Closer Look at Our Feature-rich Controllers

From Connecting to Remote Access

From connectivity to remote access to visual display, FT1A leads the way with versatile, full-featured controllers. No other
controllers offer such a broad range of capabilities at such a competitive price.

Remote I/O

The FT1A remote I/O, available in all Ethernet-capable modules, enables you to expand the number of inputs and out puts by
simply connecting separate FT1A modules via Ethernet as remote I/O slaves. The FT1A remote I/O can monitor and control a
total of 192 points of I/O.

Ethernet hub

Modbus TCP and RTU

Modbus communication is the most common protocol in the
automation industry. The entire FT1A family (except the 12
I/O CPU) supports Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU, making
communication with other devices a breeze.

Ethernet Connectivity

Thanks to the embedded RJ45 Ethernet port (on all models
except 12 I/O), FT1A controllers can be easily accessed
from remote locations. Using WindLDR software, PLC programs
can be updated remotely and critical parameters monitored
and controlled. Remote connectivity is a critical part of today’s
control environment, and FT1A controllers meet every challenge
with fast, easy, and reliable Ethernet connectivity.

SD Memory Card

FT1A 40 and 48 I/O controllers are equipped with an SD
memory slot for data logging. Memory cards up to 32GB
are supported. Log data is time/date stamped and stored in
.CSV format, making it simple to review and analyze critical
system data.

Smart LCD Display

With the embedded LCD screen, I/O status, system menus,
customized dynamic messages, and bar-graph readouts
can all be config ured and displayed. Ladder programs can
be displayed and controlled as well. You can configure up
to 50 customized messages, all with dynamic values (24
digits by 4 lines max.). The backlight can be turned on or off.
Scrolling and flashing are also supported.

Master
48-I/O type

48-I/O type (master) + 48-I/O type (slave) + 48-I/O type (slave) + 48-I/O type (slave) = 192 I/O
(30 inputs, 18 outputs) + (30 inputs, 18 outputs) + (30 inputs, 18 outputs) + (30 inputs, 18 outputs) = 120 inputs, 72 outputs

Slave
48-I/O type

Built-in Analog Inputs

The FT1A controllers support up to 8 built-in, 0-10V DC analog
inputs with 10-bit resolution, depending on the model. Having
the option to configure the analog inputs on the CPU saves you
time, space and money.

Slave
48-I/O type

Built-in Real Time Clock

Equipped with a real-time clock for use with any time­controlled applications, FT1A controllers have built-in
support for US, Canadian, European, and Australian daylight
savings time. The option for the user to configure their own
custom daylight savings schedule is also available, providing
the utmost in flexibility.

100kHz, High-Speed Counters and Outputs

Models with transistor outputs feature two 100kHz high-speed
outputs for positioning control and all FT1A controllers are
equipped with up to six 100kHz high-speed counters.

USB Maintenance Port

A convenient USB mini-B maintenance port is standard on
all FT1A controllers, which means any standard Type A to
mini-B USB cable can be used. No special cable is necessary.

10 Amp Relay Contacts

FT1A controllers with relay outputs offer 10 Amp rated
contacts. Traditional PLC relays are only rated for 2 Amps.
Therefore, FT1A controllers reduce the need for, and spare
you the cost of, using interposing relays.

Our Automation Organizer Software is Simple and Intuitive

A Complete Automation Suite: All-in-one Configuration Software

Automation Organizer (AO) is a powerful software suite containing WindLDR PLC programming software, WindO/I-NV2 HMI
configuration software, WindO/I-NV3 FT1A Touch configuration software, and WindCFG system configuration software. AO is
an all-in-one automation software package for IDEC PLCs and IDEC HMIs. The news gets even better, because AO software
upgrades are always FREE.

WindO/I-NV3

WindO/I-NV3 is our exclusive configuration software for the
FT1A Touch. Using the same platform as WindO/I-NV2 HG
HMI program ming software, WindO/I-NV3 provides users with
the same intuitive experience. Users can easily display alarm
screens, trend and bar graphs, scrolling texts and meters. With
thousands of industry-standard bitmap libraries, creating a
professional interface is just a click away.

WindLDR

All IDEC PLCs—including the FT1A family—are programmed
with WindLDR software. This icon-driven programming tool
combines logic and intuition with an incredibly easy-to-use
interface. Offline simulation, I/O Force and program bookmarks
are just some of the standard features you’ll find in WindLDR.
Newly added for FT1A are Function Block Diagram (FBD) and
Script programming. Over the years, WindLDR has proven
to be the most user-friendly, intuitive software available for
beginners and advanced programmers alike.

Simulation Mode

WindLDR allows you to simulate ladder and Function Block
Diagram (FBD) programs in FT1A. You can easily test and verify
functionality of your ladder and FBD programs without having
to connect any hardware.

Comment Download Settings

The comment download settings allow you to choose
whether to download Tag names, rung comments, custom
monitor dialog boxes or file names. The biggest advantage of
utilizing these settings is that once a program is retrieved from
the PLC, all these important parameters will be available.

Function Block and Scripting

In addition to ladder logic, WindLDR now supports Function
Block Diagram (FBD) and Script programming. With the FT1A
controllers, you now have the flexibility and convenience of
programming using any or all of these methods.
