FAs Series PLC
Overview
The Samkoon FAs Series PLC is a high-performance, next-generation micro programmable logic controller designed for highly responsive industrial control and precise motion orchestration. Built on a powerful 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M4 core running at 200 MHz, the controller executes complex logical tasks, floating-point operations, and high-speed counting with sub-millisecond determinism. With native high-speed communication interfaces, modular scalability, and decentralized distributed control capabilities, the FAs Series delivers exceptional anti-interference stability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency for modern automated machinery.
Product Features
200 MHz ARM® Cortex®-M4 Core Computing Engine
Powered by an industrial-grade 32-bit RISC ARM® Cortex®-M4 processor equipped with a hardware Floating Point Unit (FPU). Running at a commanding 200 MHz, it processes boolean logic, mathematical algorithms, and analog loops at execution speeds that comfortably outclass traditional micro PLCs under heavy multitasking.
Decentralized Distributed Scalability via CAN-bus
Break free from cabinet space limitations. The FAs Series supports daisy-chaining up to 64 CAN-based expansion modules at communication speeds of up to 1 Mbps. Featuring two front-insert plugin slots for digital, analog, and temperature sensing cards, the architecture supports distributed execution where modules run control loops independently to reduce main CPU overhead.
Rich Communication Ports for Unified Integration
No external gateways required. The main unit features a native Ethernet port (supporting Modbus TCP/IP for upper computer communication), up to two independent RS485 ports (supporting Modbus RTU/ASCII and custom protocols), a Type-C USB port for rapid program uploads/downloads, and an onboard CAN port to establish a highly resilient device network.
Intuitive Programming via SamSoar2022
Configure and debug your system effortlessly with the SamSoar2022 software environment. The platform offers rapid compilation (<0.5s) and programming versatility, supporting Ladder Diagram (LD), Instruction List (IL), Function Block Diagram (FBD), and Sequential Function Chart (SFC). Additionally, it supports customizable C-language blocks and one-click program migration from competing international PLC brands.
