Drivers for IDEC and other PLCs
FT1A Touch can easily be configured to communicate with
IDEC or other PLCs such as Siemens, Automation Direct,
Mitsubishi, Omron, and more.
Display Functions
Ethernet Connectivity
With the embedded RJ45 Ethernet port, FT1A project files
can be remotely uploaded or downloaded over an Ethernet
connection. Critical logging data can also be retrieved quickly.
Modbus TCP or RTU
The built-in Ethernet ports allow the FT1A Touch to be
configured as a Client (Master) or Server (Slave) on the
Modbus network. Modbus RTU (Master/Slave) is also
supported. With these capabilities, FT1A Touch can
communicate with other PLCs or devices using Modbus
protocol.
Ladder Program and I/O status
Ladder programs can easily be monitored and controlled
on the 3.8” (3.7”monochrome) display. It is a unique tool
to debug the system without using WindLDR software and
a PC. I/O status and any control parameter such as data
register, timer, and internal relay can also be monitored
and controlled.
Fast Start-up
Once power is applied to the FT1A Touch, it takes only 3
seconds for it to be fully functional. The fast start-up allows
for fast, easy debugging and stress-free operation.
Large Programming Memory
With 47.4KB of logic controls programming memory, complex
PLC programs can be constructed without much restriction. And
with 5MB of configuration memory for the display, a unique and
professional display interface can be easily configured.
10A Relay Outputs
With 10A contact ratings on all four of the relay outputs, the
FT1A Touch can be directly connected to a solenoid valve or
motor, which eliminates interposing relays and reduces wiring.
Control Functions
Fast Processing Speed
Basic instructions can be processed in 1850µs per 1000
steps of programming.
Data Logging
Critical data can be saved and logged into a USB memory
stick then retrieved over an Ethernet connection or by
removing the USB memory stick from the FT1A Touch and
inserting it into a laptop or PC.
Easy Program File Transfer
Project files can be transferred between a USB memory
stick and the FT1A Touch. It is a quick and convenient way
for an OEM to program multiple units and for users to
quickly update ladder and HMI programs.
Digital and Analog Inputs
The FT1A Touch is equipped with 8 digital inputs, two of
which can be configured as 0-10V DC or 4-20mA analog
inputs with 10-bit resolution, reducing overall system cost.

A Closer Look at Our Feature-rich Controllers
Modbus TCP and RTU
Modbus communication is the most common protocol in the
automation industry. The entire FT1A family (except the 12
I/O CPU) supports Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU, making
communication with other devices a breeze.
Ethernet Connectivity
Thanks to the embedded RJ45 Ethernet port (on all models
except 12 I/O), FT1A controllers can be easily accessed
from remote locations. Using WindLDR software, PLC programs
can be updated remotely and critical parameters monitored
and controlled. Remote connectivity is a critical part of today’s
control environment, and FT1A controllers meet every challenge
with fast, easy, and reliable Ethernet connectivity.
SD Memory Card
FT1A 40 and 48 I/O controllers are equipped with an SD
memory slot for data logging. Memory cards up to 32GB
are supported. Log data is time/date stamped and stored in
.CSV format, making it simple to review and analyze critical
system data.
From Connecting to Remote Access
From connectivity to remote access to visual display, FT1A leads the way with versatile, full-featured controllers. No other
controllers offer such a broad range of capabilities at such a competitive price.
Smart LCD Display
With the embedded LCD screen, I/O status, system menus,
customized dynamic messages, and bar-graph readouts
can all be config ured and displayed. Ladder programs can
be displayed and controlled as well. You can configure up
to 50 customized messages, all with dynamic values (24
digits by 4 lines max.). The backlight can be turned on or off.
Scrolling and flashing are also supported.

Remote I/O
The FT1A remote I/O, available in all Ethernet-capable modules, enables you to expand the number of inputs and out puts by
simply connecting separate FT1A modules via Ethernet as remote I/O slaves. The FT1A remote I/O can monitor and control a
total of 192 points of I/O.
Built-in Analog Inputs
The FT1A controllers support up to 8 built-in, 0-10V DC analog
inputs with 10-bit resolution, depending on the model. Having
the option to configure the analog inputs on the CPU saves you
time, space and money.
100kHz, High-Speed Counters and Outputs
Models with transistor outputs feature two 100kHz high-speed
outputs for positioning control and all FT1A controllers are
equipped with up to six 100kHz high-speed counters.
10 Amp Relay Contacts
FT1A controllers with relay outputs offer 10 Amp rated
contacts. Traditional PLC relays are only rated for 2 Amps.
Therefore, FT1A controllers reduce the need for, and spare
you the cost of, using interposing relays.
Built-in Real Time Clock
Equipped with a real-time clock for use with any time-
controlled applications, FT1A controllers have built-in
support for US, Canadian, European, and Australian daylight
savings time. The option for the user to configure their own
custom daylight savings schedule is also available, providing
the utmost in flexibility.
USB Maintenance Port
A convenient USB mini-B maintenance port is standard on
all FT1A controllers, which means any standard Type A to
mini-B USB cable can be used. No special cable is necessary.

A Complete Automation Suite: All-in-one Configuration Software
Automation Organizer (AO) is a powerful software suite containing WindLDR PLC programming software, WindO/I-NV2 HMI
configuration software, WindO/I-NV3 FT1A Touch configuration software, and WindCFG system configuration software. AO is
an all-in-one automation software package for IDEC PLCs and IDEC HMIs. The news gets even better, because AO software
upgrades are always FREE.
Our Automation Organizer Software is Simple and Intuitive
WindO/I-NV3
WindO/I-NV3 is our exclusive configuration software for the
FT1A Touch. Using the same platform as WindO/I-NV2 HG
HMI program ming software, WindO/I-NV3 provides users with
the same intuitive experience. Users can easily display alarm
screens, trend and bar graphs, scrolling texts and meters. With
thousands of industry-standard bitmap libraries, creating a
professional interface is just a click away.
WindLDR
All IDEC PLCs—including the FT1A family—are programmed
with WindLDR software. This icon-driven programming tool
combines logic and intuition with an incredibly easy-to-use
interface. Offline simulation, I/O Force and program bookmarks
are just some of the standard features you’ll find in WindLDR.
Newly added for FT1A are Function Block Diagram (FBD) and
Script programming. Over the years, WindLDR has proven
to be the most user-friendly, intuitive software available for
beginners and advanced programmers alike.
Simulation Mode
WindLDR allows you to simulate ladder and Function Block
Diagram (FBD) programs in FT1A. You can easily test and verify
functionality of your ladder and FBD programs without having
to connect any hardware.
Comment Download Settings
The comment download settings allow you to choose
whether to download Tag names, rung comments, custom
monitor dialog boxes or file names. The biggest advantage of
utilizing these settings is that once a program is retrieved from
the PLC, all these important parameters will be available.
Function Block and Scripting
In addition to ladder logic, WindLDR now supports Function
Block Diagram (FBD) and Script programming. With the FT1A
controllers, you now have the flexibility and convenience of
programming using any or all of these methods.
