Productivity 2000 Series PLC - Automation Direct - Master PLC Data Magic: Pack, Unpack & Bit Control Secrets

Data handling instructions are used to perform movement and manipulations of the memory in the programmable logic controller. The Productivity 2000 Series PLC has fifteen different data handling instructions that can be used in various applications.  In this second part, we will be looking at the following instructions: Lookup Table (LKUP) – Find a value within an XY Table by looking at the intercept of a referenced X Axis value and Y-Axis value. Pack Bits (PKB) – Convert up to 32 Boolean Tag Bits or Constant Bits into an Output Integer Tag. Pack Word (PKW) – Convert up to four-bit tags, two 16-bit tags, or four Constants into a 16 or 32-bit Destination Tag. Shift / Rotate Bits (SFR) – Shift or Rotate Bits of a Tag or Constant value. Sign Magnitude (SMAG) – Convert Sign Plus Magnitude data type values to 2's Complement or Convert 2's Complement data type values to Sign Plus Magnitude. UnPack Bits (UPKB) – Convert up to a 32 Bit Integer Tag or Constant into Boolean Tags. UnPack Word (UPKW) – Convert one 32-bit or 16-bit source tag into four 8-bit tags or two 16-bit tags.

Here are just a few. - CPU with 5 communication ports - 50MB user memory - Can handle very complex applications easily. - Limitless PID – Autotuning – Individual or Cascade Mode - etc - OLED message display on the CPU module - Plenty of discrete and analog I/O modules - Status displays on all discrete I/O modules - I/O Modules have QR codes. This can be scanned to have the module's latest specifications/wiring diagrams. - OLED data display on analog modules - P2-RS remote I/O expansion module, or use the Productivity1000 P1-RX remote expansion module to add even lower-cost remote I/O to your system - FREE full-featured Productivity Suite software - Programming with several ports - USB, Ethernet, Serial - Hardware auto-discovery - Hot-swappable I/O - Remove cards with power on the system - Choose from three wiring options - Slim DIN rail density form factor: - hardware - power supply, CPU, and seven modules in only 10-1/2 inches - All project files (program, tag name database, and all the program documentation) in the CPU - Run-time editing and debug mode on CPU - Easy data logging with micro SD on CPU - Secure Web server to access data files and system tags - Easy drive and motion controller integration - Coordinate motion control with PS-AMC allows control of up to 16 axes and synchronization of up to 4 axes - Two-Year Warranty The Productivity 2000 series of programmable logic controllers currently has these features built into the P2-550 CPU. This CPU (Central Processing Unit) is known as PAC (Programmable Automation Controller) because of its communication capabilities. ACC Automation https://www.accautomation.ca
