Hello, If you're new to using Fatek PLCs and looking to start a simple project, you're in for a fun experience! Fatek products are not only easy to use but also powerful and versatile. - Started kit: To begin, you can use any Fatek main unit. Unlike competitors, Fatek's setup process is straightforward, and moving to larger or more advanced units doesn't complicate things. We recommend starting with the FBs-10MAR2-AC. This is a relay output unit, with a built-in 110-240 VAC power supply—so you won’t need an external power source. You'll also need a communication cable   or, for added convenience, a  Bluetooth programmer . We highly recommend the Bluetooth option, as it allows you to program the PLC with the panel closed or from up to 30 feet away, making it both convenient and safe. That’s all you need in terms of hardware! The required software is free to download on our website. You can find it under Software Downloads Fatek PLCs are easy to use, easy to connect, and easy to program. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us via email, our contact form, or ask in this forum. We'll be more than happy to assist!
