TheF1616-BA (BA=Building Automation) Super PLC is the
ideal choice for smart buildings control and energy management. Its built-in 32 digital
I/Os (expandable to 256) interface directly to 24VAC or DC power, with 8 analog inputs and
4 analog outputs that are 0 to 10V range (with direct thermistors
connection!). As a member of the F-series Super PLCs it posseses the same incredible
amount of built-in capabilities such as PWM output, stepper motor control, Encoder and
pulse measurement inputs etc. Read the User Review of The F-series PLCs published in the
Control Design magazine (Nov 2010).
The F1616-BA's immense communication capability allows it to be used as the brain of a
small BAS, or as one of the "Super DDC " controllers in a Distributed Control
System (DCS). The Ethernet port on the F1616-BA PLC hosts both a PLC server and a
Modbus/TCP server, allowing up to 6 simultaneous connections with devices such as touch
panel/HMI or Supervisory computers. The controller is accessible via the Internet and able
to send emails to report real time events. It's RS232 port and two RS485 ports all
support MODBUS. A special set of interface pins is even provided on the PLC to allow
addition of a third-party radio module known as XBEE which in turn enables this controller to interface to
futuristic ZIGBEE wireless sensors and control modules.

Expansion & Other Peripherals |
Both the F2424 and F1616-BA PLC are
expandable to 128 Digital Inputs and 128 Digital Outputs using expansion board EXP1616R or
EXP4040. You can also connect many of the same peripherals for the T100MD+/MX+ series to
these two PLCs. Please click on the following pictures and/or the link on the left pane to
