Compact yet powerful...
The FA-M3 is a compact PLC that can quickly process, respond and control processes
of varying scales, providing for significantly increased performance and reduced cost of
control panels and machines.

No more worries about memory capacity or performance...
The use of add-on sequence CPUs (with memory) dedicated to sequence control allows
you to write programs without worrying about the number of sequence control steps,
memory capacity, or processing speed. Structured programs to be run on add-on
sequence CPUs are not only easy to read but also yields high performance.
