Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
The following models are commonly evaluated as replacements or equivalents for the SA SA-T1. Compatibility depends on your specific PLC series and firmware version — always verify before ordering.
- SA SA-T2 — Upgraded version with enhanced display; direct functional replacement for most SA PLC series
- SA SA-T1A — Variant with extended cable; same core functionality
- Mitsubishi GOT Simple Series (GT1020/GT1030) — Alternative HMI/teaching interface for cross-brand migration projects
- Keyence KV-D30 — Compact teaching pendant compatible with Keyence KV series; considered in multi-brand environments
- Omron NT11S — Legacy equivalent for Omron-based systems; not a direct drop-in but functionally comparable
- Generic SA-compatible Teaching Pendants — Third-party OEM pendants with SA protocol support; suitable for non-critical applications
⚠ Note: Cross-brand replacements require protocol and connector verification. Contact Konmask for pre-purchase compatibility assessment.

System Compatibility
The SA SA-T1 is designed for use with SA (SUS Corp.) PLC series controllers. Confirmed compatible systems include:
- SA series compact PLCs (SA-10, SA-20, SA-30 and related variants)
- SA series modular PLC racks with standard teaching pendant ports
- SA motion controllers with pendant interface support
For systems outside the SA ecosystem, please consult the Konmask compatibility database or contact our technical team before purchase.
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to determine whether the SA SA-T1 is the right choice for your application:
- Step 1 — Confirm PLC Brand & Series: SA SA-T1 is optimized for SA/SUS Corp. PLCs. If your controller is from a different brand, consider the equivalent models listed above.
- Step 2 — Check Connector Type: Verify the pendant port connector on your PLC matches the SA-T1 interface (RJ45 / DB9 / proprietary — confirm with your PLC manual).
- Step 3 — Assess Display Requirements: If a larger or color display is needed, evaluate the SA-T2 or a compatible HMI panel instead.
- Step 4 — Evaluate Environment: For harsh environments (IP65+, extreme temperatures), specify an upgraded enclosure variant or protective cover accessory.
- Step 5 — Confirm Firmware Version: Ensure your PLC firmware supports the SA-T1 command set. Older firmware may require an update.
- Step 6 — Budget vs. OEM: For critical production lines, the original SA-T1 is recommended. For maintenance spares or non-critical use, compatible third-party options may be evaluated.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can the SA SA-T1 replace a Mitsubishi teaching pendant?
A: Not directly. The SA-T1 uses SA-proprietary communication protocols. Cross-brand replacement requires a protocol converter or a brand-native pendant.
Q: Is the SA SA-T1 compatible with all SA PLC models?
A: It is compatible with most SA series PLCs, but compatibility depends on the specific model and firmware. Please provide your PLC model number for confirmation.
Q: What is the difference between SA-T1 and SA-T2?
A: The SA-T2 typically features an upgraded display and may support additional function keys. Both are compatible with the SA PLC series, but the T2 is the newer generation.
Q: Can I use a generic teaching pendant as a replacement?
A: Generic pendants with SA protocol support may work for basic functions, but full feature compatibility is not guaranteed. Recommended for non-critical or temporary use only.
Q: Do you offer repair services for the SA SA-T1?
A: Yes. Contact support@konmask.com for repair assessment and pricing.
Q: What is the lead time for out-of-stock units?
A: Typically 7–15 business days for sourced units. Expedited sourcing available upon request.
