MPA Series
MPA Series is a modular industrial PLC family that controls digital I/O, analog I/O, temperature sensor inputs, and high-speed pulse I/O using MP STUDIO ladder logic.
Program with ladder logic using MP STUDIO.
Select a CPU module, I/O modules, and optional modules to configure the product. The product is assembled and shipped in the selected configuration.
Supports 1 RS-232 channel, 1 RS-485 channel, and 1 UART channel.
MP STUDIO 2 is planned for release. MP STUDIO 2 is compatible with MP STUDIO.
How to read model names
- The leading number in
8A,16A,24A, etc. is the number of digital inputs. - The number before
Ris the number of relay outputs. - The number before
Tis the number of transistor outputs. 16A32Ris a model with 16 digital inputs and 32 relay outputs.24A24Tis a model with 24 digital inputs and 24 transistor outputs.
