00:00FX3U24 Mr. vs. Kinko K615S, which is better?
00:05Two PLCs, same 5.0 rating, thousands of units sold each, but one costs roughly a third of the other.
00:12Stick around, because I dug through the best listings on FX3U24 Mr. vs. Kinko K615S so you
00:18don't waste a single dollar on the wrong board. This Kinko K6S bundle is the one people buy when
00:24they want one brand and zero guesswork. You get the K615S along with the K621S, K622S,
00:31and K623S options, plus both DT and DX relay and transistor variants, so whichever I.O. mix your
00:37machine needs, it's in the same listing. Priced at $60.05 with 3.885 sold and a perfect 5.0
00:45rating,
00:45it's the safest bet on this list, a real manufacturer with a real support line,
00:49and one checkout that covers your whole expansion plan. Now the FX3U24 Mr. is where things get
00:56interesting for your money. 14 inputs, 10 outputs, 6 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, 485 RTU comms,
01:04and 6 channels of high-speed counting, all for $25.40. That's under $30 for a board with more I
01:11.O. than
01:11most PLCs twice its price. 3,602 sold at 5.0 tells you it isn't a fluke, it just works.
01:20If you're running conveyors, counters, or a temperature loop on a budget, this is the value
01:25king. Third option is the Kinko K6S Compact Thinner High Performance Modular, the K615S16DT
01:32specifically. This is the flagship feel of the range, thinner profile, better performance,
01:37and a build that just feels a step above the budget boards. It's $121.39, which is the priciest
01:45thing here, and it still carries a 4.8 across 3,375 sales. Worth it when you care about long
01:52service life, clean wiring, and modular expansion layer. Then there's the FX3U24 MR and FX3U24 MT
02:00version with the 485 comms and real-time clock built-in. Same solid 14-inches, 10-out core,
02:07but the MT gives you transistor outputs for faster switching, and the RTC means your logs keep their
02:12timestamps through a power cut. $35.61, 3,228 sold, 4.7 stars. Honestly the sweet spot if the clock
02:23and
02:23the extra headroom matter to your project. Links to every product I mentioned are in the description
