Compact & Powerful Automation Solution: IDEC's FT2J 7-inch PLC+HMI Now Available from Live Electronics!

A new all-in-one PLC and HMI system from Live Electronics looks set to make it easier, faster and more cost-effective for industrial OEMs to design, install and maintain automation and robotic equipment. Manufactured by IDEC, a leading industrial component company, the new FT2J system is powerful, adaptable and simple to use and install. 

The standout feature of the IDEC FT2J is its space-saving design. By integrating the functionalities of a PLC and an HMI into one unit, the FT2J significantly reduces the complexity and space requirements traditionally associated with separate devices. This makes it an ideal choice for applications where space is limited but performance and functionality cannot be compromised. 

The FT2J is designed with a user-friendly interface that features a 7-inch high-resolution display with projected capacitive touch technology. The colour display boasts an 800 x 480 pixel resolution, providing clear and detailed visuals that make it easy for operators to monitor and control their systems. This ensures that even in demanding environments, users can interact with their systems with ease and accuracy. 

Ruggedness and reliability are key attributes of the FT2J. It is built to endure harsh industrial conditions, featuring IP66-rated protection that safeguards against dust, water, and extreme temperatures. This robust construction ensures the FT2J can maintain high performance and reliability even in the most challenging environments, making it a dependable choice for industries that demand durability. 

In addition to its robust design, the FT2J offers flexible connectivity options, including Ethernet, USB, and serial ports. This allows for seamless communication with other industrial devices and systems, facilitating efficient data exchange and integration.
