The FMD-series PLCs are upgraded versions of the T100M PLC models, for those familiar with the M-sereis PLCs.

These PLCs are equipped with built-in digital as well as 12-bit analog I/Os. Like all 'super' PLCs from Triangle Research, the FMD-series is designed with ready connectivity to many peripheral device types. With the built-in Ethernet port and the iTRiLOGI client/server software, the FMD-series PLCs are fully accessible for machine monitoring and OEM troubleshooting/reprogramming over the INTERNET. Built-in RS232 and RS485 connections and support of MODBUS protocols also makes the FMD88-10 easy to integrate into mixed-brand PLC environments and networks.

Programming of the FMD-series is simplified with the powerful iTRiLOGI Ladder+BASIC software that is shipped with the starter kit. Similarly, as for all Triangle Research PLCs, the FMD-series PLCs incorporate a program code security feature in the interest of Automation OEMs' program protection.
