Via the five high-speed communication ports included in the SoC, the FBs- PLC’s communication capability is outstanding with all five ports operating at a maximum speed of 921.6Kbps. Communications can be achieved using ASCII code or the double-speed binary code. Along with FATEK's standard protocol, Modbus ASCII/RTU/TCP or user-definable protocol are also available. The FBs.-PLC also provides the option of six different communication boards and eight different communication modules for various types of communication applications. With their high speed and functionality the FBs-PLC has the greatest number of communication ports than any other PLC in its class. Each communication port comes standard with LED indicators for transmission (TX) and reception (RX) to enable the user to monitor the operation.

Communication function (up to 5 ports including RS232, RS485, USB, Ethernet and GSM)
