August 27, 2013 - IDEC introduces FC5A batteryless embedded Ethernet MicroSmart Pentra PLCs with web server functions. Thanks to the MRAM memory, values can be stored permanently to eliminate the hassle and worry of losing dynamic and preloaded data. This makes them ideal for applications that need to retain critical data permanently. With an embedded 10/100Mbps RJ45 Ethernet port and remote connectivity, communication can also be done at a fast speed. These controllers support Modbus TCP, while maintaining the ability to send up to 255 email messages with dynamic data and having an easy-to-configure user web page.
They can also be configured to communicate with WindLDR software, IE/Firefox/Safari web browsers, WindSRV OPC software, HG operator interface, and Modbus TCP, all at the same time. Up to 14 simultaneous connections can be established. The embedded Ethernet MicroSmart Pentra with MRAM is available in two CPU models with 12 I/O configurations (8 DC inputs and 4 transistor sink or source outputs) and is compatible with current WindLDR software. All existing FC4A and FC5A expansion modules and accessories are compatible.
