Reading Time: 3 minutes

With an ever-changing market and tough competition, you need an edge to stay on top. The sixth-generation FL1F IDEC SmartRelay meets your demands from all small-scale applications by offering more powerful hardware, a new display and full communication options via Ethernet. The new FL1F relay handles up to 60 I/O and has a built-in web server for convenient browser-based remote access, raising the bar significantly for SmartRelay’s.

FL1F SmartRelay is a substantial upgrade to the current FL1E model. Responding to market demand for a programmable relay with many of the features found in micro PLCs, the FL1F SmartRelay can now accommodate small- to medium-sized OEM machine control and other applications.

The FL1F SmartRelay CPU module has 8-discrete inputs and 4-discrete outputs. In addition, there are six types of I/O expansion modules, and up to 12 I/O expansion modules can be added to the CPU expanding the I/O capacity to a maximum of 60 I/O. Maximum configurations are 24 discrete inputs, 20 discrete outputs, 8-Analog inputs and 8-Analog outputs. Each discrete output can switch up to 10A.
