Delta DVP-ES3 and Samkoon FAs/FGR: technical selection by exact CPU code

Compare Delta DVP-ES3 with Samkoon FAs/FGR candidates by I/O, output polarity, Ethernet, motion, expansion and software.

Short answer

What does this page recommend?

A technical alternative, not a drop-in substitute

Samkoon FAs can be evaluated in the same selection pool as DVP-ES3 for higher built-in I/O and Ethernet needs, while FGR targets compact duties. No model is recommended before CPU code, supply, relay/transistor and NPN/PNP polarity, motion frequency, Ethernet and expansion architecture are verified.

Validation areaDelta DVP-ES3Samkoon / ProControl candidate
CPU and program capacityDVP-ES3 performance, program/data capacity and CPU functions depend on the exact CPU variant.FGR and FAs are different CPU/I/O layers; program size, scan time, retained data and instruction scope are measured with the target software.
Built-in I/O and polarityThe DVP-ES3 CPU code changes built-in I/O count, relay/transistor output, NPN/PNP type and supply selection.FAS-32MT and FAS-66MT are NPN-transistor class; FGRB is also NPN-transistor class. SINK/SOURCE input, commons and load current are checked from terminal diagrams.
High-speed counters and pulseDVP-ES3 provides high-speed counting, pulse output and motion functions depending on model/output type.Official FAS-32/66 and FGRB pages list 200 kHz-class high-speed I/O; channel sharing, interpolation, pulse type and real-load performance are verified by PoC.
Ethernet and serial networkingDVP-ES3 uses connections including Ethernet, RS-485 and CANopen according to the exact CPU/module and software configuration.FAS -E variants are in the Ethernet Modbus TCP/IP and serial Modbus class; FGRB connections are verified per exact model. CANopen parity is not assumed.
Expansion and special I/ODVP-ES3 expansion modules provide analogue, temperature, communications and additional-I/O duties within the family architecture.FAs can use CAN-based right-side modules and front plug-ins; module count, power budget, analogue resolution and isolation are verified for the exact combination.
Software and commissioningThe DVP-ES3 project is developed with ISPSoft/DIAStudio tools, Delta addressing and hardware configuration.The SamSoar project is rewritten; program, parameters and module settings do not transfer automatically. I/O, motion, networking, retained data and fault scenarios are tested during FAT.
Suitable scenario

When is it worth evaluating?

  • Compact machines where the DVP program and field wiring can be redesigned
  • Applications where NPN transistor outputs, Modbus and pulse duties are covered by an exact Samkoon model
  • New projects prioritising built-in-I/O density or cost-controlled expansion
Migration gate

Before making a decision

  1. Record the full DVP-ES3 CPU and every expansion-module code.
  2. Extract supply, DI commons, relay/transistor, NPN/PNP, load current and fail-state behaviour.
  3. Inventory HSC/PTO, interpolation, Ethernet, RS-485, CANopen and analogue/temperature duties.
  4. Verify electrical, protocol, power-budget and performance requirements for the exact Samkoon model/module combination.
  5. Test I/O polarity, pulse, network loss, retained data and fault recovery in a wired FAT.
Frequently asked

Clear answers about alternatives and migration

Is this a drop-in replacement?

No. It is not a direct substitute until exact model, electrical, protocol-role, mechanical, software and certification checks pass.

What should I provide for selection?

The exact existing code, diagram or I/O list, PLC/network data, supply, environment and special functions in use.

Can any Samkoon MT model replace a transistor-output DVP-ES3 CPU?

No. The MT label alone does not prove NPN/PNP, common terminals, load current, pulse channels or supply compatibility; the complete electrical diagram is verified.

This content compares manufacturer-published data under the same project requirement; it does not guarantee direct substitution or project compatibility. ProControl engineering must validate exact model, revision, protocol, electrical, safety and environmental conditions.
