About the FA-M3R
The FA-M3 R Range-free Multi-controller is a high-performance programmable logic controller (PLC) that combines very high processing speeds with stable control features. It has a compact design, can be configured with up to 8192 input/output points, and has numerous advanced modules that can be added on to support a wide variety of applications. With its open design, improved functions, and space-saving characteristics, the FA-M3 R decreases total cost of ownership (TCO).
