DESCRIPTION

The FC6A-C24P1CE is a compact PLC CPU module from IDEC's MicroSmart FC6A series designed for industrial automation and control applications. It operates at 24V DC with a maximum power consumption of 200 mA (5.0 W) and features transistor source output configuration with 10 output points (10/1 common). The module includes an embedded Ethernet port (IEEE 802.3, 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX) with RJ45 connector supporting Modbus TCP, an embedded RS232C/RS485 selectable serial port, and an embedded SD memory port for data logging. It supports up to 504 maximum digital I/O and 124 maximum analog I/O when expanded, with a rated input voltage of 24V DC (0 to 28.8V DC range) and input impedance of 3.4 kO on normal-speed ports. The module operates reliably across -10°C to +55°C ambient temperature and is rated for 5 to 150 Hz vibration (8.9 m/s² acceleration) and 147 m/s² (15g) shock resistance. Common applications include machine control, process automation, data acquisition, and networked industrial systems where compact size, integrated communication, and flexible I/O expansion are required.
