The FBs-20MNR2-AC PLC is designed for DIN rail mounting within an industrial control panel. Ensure sufficient clearance for wiring and heat dissipation.
4.2 Connessioni Wiring
Refer to the diagram below for terminal identification and wiring connections. Ensure all connections are secure and correct before applying power.

Figura 1: Fronte view of the Fatek FBs-20MNR2-AC PLC, illustrating the various input (X), output (Y), power (AC100-240V, L, N, GND), and communication (TX, RX, PORTO) terminals. The status indicators (POW, RUN, ERR) are also visible.
4.2.1 Cablaggio di l'alimentazione elettrica
- Connect the AC power supply (100-240VAC) to the L (Line) and N (Neutral) terminals.
- Connect the protective earth ground to the ⊕ (Ground) terminal.
4.2.2 Digital Input Wiring (X0-X13)
- The PLC features 10 points of 24VDC digital input (X0-X9), with X0-X3 supporting high-speed 200KHz operation.
- Additionally, there are 2 points of digital differential input (X0-X1, X2-X3) for high-speed applications up to 920KHz.
- Connect input devices (e.g., sensors, switches) to the respective X terminals.
4.2.3 Digital Output Wiring (Y0-Y9)
- The PLC provides 6 points of relay digital output (Y0-Y5).
- There are also 2 points of digital differential output (Y0-Y1, Y2-Y3) for high-speed applications up to 920KHz.
- Connect output devices (e.g., relays, contactors, indicator lights) to the Y terminals. Observe the maximum current rating for each output.
4.2.4 Communication Port (PORTO, RS-232)
- The built-in RS-232 port (PORTO) is used for programming the PLC and communicating with other devices.
- Connect a programming cable from your computer to this port.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Accensione
After completing all wiring and ensuring safety, apply power to the PLC. The POW indicator LED should illuminate, indicating that the unit is receiving power.
5.2 Programming the PLC
The Fatek FBs-20MNR2-AC is programmed using specific PLC programming software (e.g., WinProladder). Connect the PLC to your computer via the RS-232 port and use the software to develop, download, and monitor your control programs.
5.3 Indicatori di Status
- PUG (Putenza): Illuminates when power is supplied to the PLC.
- RUN (Run Mode): Illuminates when the PLC is executing the user program.
- ERR (Errore): Illuminates or flashes to indicate a system error or fault. Refer to the troubleshooting section for details.
- TX (trasmissione): Flashes when data is being transmitted via the communication port.
- RX (ricevi): Flashes when data is being received via the communication port.
6. Mantenimentu
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your PLC.
- Pulizia: Pulite periodicamente l'esternu di u PLC cù un pannu dolce è asciuttu. Ùn aduprate micca solventi o detergenti abrasivi. Assicuratevi chì l'alimentazione sia spenta prima di pulisce.
- Ispezione di u Terminale: Regularly check all wiring terminals for tightness and corrosion. Loose connections can lead to intermittent operation or damage.
- Cuntrolla ambientale: Verify that the operating environment remains within specified conditions (temperature, humidity, dust).
- Actualizazioni di firmware: Verificate u fabricatore website for any available firmware updates that may improve performance or address issues. Follow update instructions carefully.
7. Risoluzione di prublemi
Questa sezione furnisce suluzioni à i prublemi cumuni chì pudete scuntrà.
| Prublemu | Causa Possibile | Soluzione |
|---|---|---|
| PLC does not power on (POW LED off). | No power supply, incorrect wiring, or internal fault. | Check AC power connections (L, N, Ground). Verify power source. Ensure wiring is correct. If problem persists, contact support. |
| RUN LED is off, but POW LED is on. | No program loaded, program error, or PLC in STOP mode. | Download a valid program to the PLC. Check for program errors in the software. Ensure the PLC is set to RUN mode via software. |
| ERR LED is illuminated or flashing. | System error, hardware fault, or critical program error. | Connect to the PLC with programming software to read the error code. Consult the software manual for specific error meanings and solutions. |
| Inputs (X) are not responding. | Incorrect wiring, faulty sensor, or input device not supplying correct voltage. | Verify input device wiring and functionality. Check input voltage levels. Ensure input addresses in the program match physical connections. |
| Outputs (Y) are not activating. | Incorrect wiring, faulty output device, or program logic error. | Verify output device wiring and functionality. Check program logic for output activation conditions. Ensure output addresses in the program match physical connections. |
| Communication issues (e.g., cannot connect to PLC). | Incorrect cable, wrong port settings, or driver issues. | Ensure correct RS-232 cable is used. Verify COM port settings (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits) in software match PLC settings. Install or update USB-to-serial drivers if applicable. |
