Description

FX3U-16MT/ES-A PLCs consist of input points or modules, output points or modules and a CPU (central processing unit). The inputs receive a wide range of analog and digital signals from various sensor / field devices and work to convert them into CPU compatible logic signals. The programmable logic controller will process the given information (input), execute instructions from the program and provide results (output) based on the given information and written reasoning.
