Professional FAQ (Experience-based & Selection Guide)

• I need 16 outputs but only 6 are fast – can the other 10 handle small motors?
  Yes. The 10 standard outputs handle up to 2A each – suitable for contactors, small motors or indicators. The 6 fast outputs are for precise pulse control.
• What is the benefit of 24 inputs on this model?
  You can connect many sensors (proximity, limit, encoders) without extra modules. 7 of them handle high‑speed counting up to 200kHz.
• Can I mix fast and standard wiring in one machine?
  Absolutely. Keep fast I/O wiring short (<5m) and shielded. Standard I/O can run longer (up to 100m) with unshielded cable.
• Which shipping carriers do you use for international orders?
  We ship worldwide via FedEx, UPS, DHL. All services include tracking. Contact us for bulk shipping discounts.
• How do I choose between FC5M-40MN-AC and smaller 30MN or 20MN models?
  Choose the 40MN if your machine needs more than 30 I/O points. It gives you extra capacity (24 inputs / 16 outputs) in one unit – saves cost on expansion modules.

Typical Applications

• Packaging lines – high‑speed counting and output control.
• CNC routers – pulse/direction control up to 200kHz.
• Assembly machines – 24 sensors, 16 actuators.
