Previously we created our first program using the Productivity Suite Software and transferred this to our connected Productivity 2000 Series PLC. One of the most important aspects of programming the PLC is to document. This will aid you and your team in programming, troubleshooting, and modifying the automation control system. Your documentation should read like a book so information can be quickly obtained when required. Time spent on the documentation will be priceless when you go to read your program in 1, 3, or 10 years from now. The Productivity Suite software provides several different methods for documenting your program. Tag Names and Details, Task Names and Descriptions, Rung Comments and Instruction comments are the ways that we will be looking at documenting our program. Let’s get started. Detailed information can be found on our website.

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 so you can have the latest specifications/wiring diagrams for the module. - 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 all of these features built into the P2-550 CPU. This CPU (Central Processing Unit) is also known as PAC (Programmable Automation Controller) because of its communication capabilities. https://www.accautomation.ca
