IDEC’s MicroSmart FC6A Plus PLCs can be configured as BACnet/IP Servers for connection to BACnet/IP Clients.

With its 2,060 I/O capacity, the MicroSmart FC6A Plus PLC can control large machines or entire small-scale manufacturing facilities, providing more capabilities for the most demanding applications.

IDEC’s position in the HMI market strengthened by acquisition of APEM, a French group with a wide international footprint. European presence expands significantly, and new industry segments are also added.

Compact scanner fits into tight spaces on AGVs and forklifts, and into robot and moving machinery protection zones. Master/slave functionality is unique to the industry and provides improved connectivity, and dual zone protection is another industry first and allows one scanner to replace two light curtains.

EC2B standard and custom control stations are supplied ready for installation in Zone 1 and 2 hazardous locations.
