Available in 100–240V AC (free power type) or 24V DC versions.

The is a micro/nano PLC from the 1990s–early 2000s era. It is the direct predecessor to the popular MicroSmart series. Its primary claim to fame is being one of the smallest PLCs at its time with a built-in power supply, CPU, I/O, and programmer port in a housing slightly larger than a deck of cards.

: Utilize the modular, field-replaceable output relays for high-current loads up to 5A. Install inductive surge suppressors (snubber networks for AC, flyback diodes for DC) across any external motor starter or solenoid coil to prevent contact welding.

If you are maintaining an FA2J, do not read this manual cover-to-cover. Use it strictly as a reference guide for wiring diagrams and error codes. For programming logic, rely on the "Help" file inside the WindLDR software (which is searchable and indexed) rather than the paper manual, as the software help files are updated for modern UI contexts.

The FA2J series offers robust processing capabilities and flexible I/O configurations tailored for mid-range industrial tasks. Available in 100–240V AC (free power type) or
