FRnet Fast AI/AO Application for The ISaGRAF PAC

ICP DAS releases a new application: the ISaGRAF PAC application using the FRnet fast AI/AO new modules, FR-2024iT and FR-2017iT. ISaGRAF is the most powerful SoftLogic package on the industrial market that supports IEC 61131-3 standard PLC programming languages. FRnet is an innovative industrial field bus with features such as high-speed/long-distance transmission reliability and wire-saving FRnet control. The new FRnet I/O modules (iT models) include built-in isolation. Selecting ISaGRAF PACs with FRnet fast I/O modules provides a more stable and faster automation control system, especially for long-distance and multi-noise industrial field applications.
