Built on the foundation of the popular FX1N and FX2N series of PLCs, the new FX3U adds functionality and speed while remaining fully backwards-compatible and price-competitive with the older style.

Important features of the FX3U micro PLC include:

Faster processing time: 0.065 micro-seconds per basic instruction and 0.642 micro-seconds per applied instruction.

New high-speed adapter module interface: Up to 80 analog inputs and 48 analog outputs and up to 4 axes of 200kHz positioning control.

Increased Capacity: 64k of programming memory, 40768 data registers, and additional internal relays, counters, flags, and timers.

Increased Functionality: 75 new applied instructions and communications options including USB and 10/100Mb Ethernet.

The IN4000 from SICK is a non-contact safety position sensor that replaces traditional contact devices that are prone to wear and failure, reducing downtime caused by replacing worn out switches. The IN4000 is a control reliable sensor that is activated by metal, so it does not require a separate coded actuator. The IN4000 is also extremely flexible in that it can be connected directly to an IN4000 relay evaluation unit, various SICK safety bus networks, or approved third party safety controllers.

The IN4000 Inductive Safety Sensor is ideal for robot axis and gantry positioning to either find "home" position or safe, end-of-travel positions and to limit robot motion outside of its restricted space. It can also be used as a safeguarding solution for detecting "door open" and "door close" positions on a machine.
