Design-in More Function with Enhanced Features

Combining a PLC and touchscreen HMI interface into a single platform provides many advantages for monitoring and controlling smaller machines, process skids, and HVAC systems.

Dual CPU configuration for high-speed processing

The FT1J and FT2J feature two CPUs working in parallel for the PLC and HMI. This design enables high-speed, real-time control without compromising HMI functionality, broadening the range of compatible applications.

KEY FEATURES

Compact design

One PLC + HMI consumes less panel space than separate units. The FT1J requires only approx. half the depth of the two devices combined, and the FT2J requires approx. a third of the depth.

Simplified Installation

A combined PLC+HMI minimizes wiring time because no connections need to be made between the PLC and HMI, a single power source powers both the PLC and HMI, and only one network connection needs to be made to the outside world. Plus, push-in type power connector is used for providing easy installation and service.

Reduced power consumption

The FT1J consumes approx. 30% less power than a PLC and display combined, and the FT2J consumes approx. 40% less.*

* Compared with equivalent models (the FC6A-C16R4CE and HG1J-4FT22TG-S for the FT1J, and the FC6A-C24R4CE and HG2J-7UT22TF-B for the FT2J).

Coin cell batteries not required

Battery-free design with data stored on nonvolatile magnetic media. Time information is preserved with power from large-capacity capacitors. ;Since lithium batteries are not consumable, they are not affected during ocean and air transportation and do not require maintenance for battery replacement, leading to reduced waste.

Streamlined Programming

The combined PLC+HMI unit tightly integrates the PLC and HMI programming into a single suite of software which cuts configurations and programming time, and the PLC+HMI is ready to use and communicate right out of the box.

I/O expansion with cartridges

Up to 2 digital I/O cartridges or analog I/O cartridges can be connected, to add up to 8 digital I/O and up to 4 analog I/O.

FolderFT2J-Main-US (2)

Analog I/O

Equipped with a built-in analog I/O to control analog signals from 0 to 10V DC (4 to 20 mA) with 12-bit resolution. An analog potentiometer connected to the analog input allows for easy configuration of analog settings, such as a timer.

PID temperature control

A PID algorithm is used to enable cascade control. Available for applications requiring temperature, flow, and pressure control.

Cutting Edge HMI Design

The HMI’s projected capacitive touch panel (PCAP) advanced technology saves space while providing a smaller footprint and improves performance. This PCAP touch panel provides a high degree of visibility, durability, and functionality. In addition to being multi-touch, this PCAP touch panel is compatible with thin gloves.

FT1J-2-US

Highly visible glass-top structure

Easily kept clean using chemical washdown or simple wipes. Besides being water- and scratch-resistent, PCAP is responsive and provides high tolerance to resist false signals when dirt or water droplets are present on the face of the HMI.

FT2J-Main-US (5)
FT2J-img06-en

No mechanical durability issues

The PCAP touch panel uses a sensor board to detect changes in electric charge to identify the position of the touch. There is no mechanical deterioration, allowing for agile operation, and multi-touch sensing gloves less than 1.5mm thick1 can be used.

1. The touchscreen may not work with gloves thicker than 1.5mm, depending on the material of the gloves and environment.

Use of tempered glass for exceptional strength, protective film also included for the unlikely event of damage

The tempered glass maintains high impact resistance. The FT2J's panel (covered with protective film) passed a drop test with a 1kg steel ball (dropped onto the center of the glass from a height of 60cm). At a drop height of 80cm, even if the glass was damaged the protective film prevented glass shards from being scattered.2

2. The stated results are from in-house testing and do not guarantee performance.
