February 20, 2011 - Yokogawa Electric announces the FA-M3V programmable logic controller (PLC) that is suited not only for the control of conventional discrete manufacturing processes, but also batch processes. Product Features High CPU scanning speed The FA-M3V can scan a 100 K-step program in just one millisecond. This speed is made possible by the hardware/firmware combination of Yokogawa’s Vitesse engine and a parallel instruction processing system (PIPS).
Small and lightweight With a built-in Ethernet port, the FA-M3V delivers single module processing and eliminates communications overhead, ensuring both higher throughput and a smaller footprint.
Secure and reliable The FA-M3V provides a login function with three different layers of access control. The login history can be archived on an SD card (sizes up to 32 GB supported). The FA-M3V CPU comes with error check and correct (ECC) functionality. And even though ECC requires a certain amount of processing time, the FA-M3V is still capable of extremely high throughput.
