The PLC productivity series includes a Drum and Sequencer instruction that can be very useful. The Drum instructions function similarly to an electromagnetically-operated drum sequencer. To better understand this concept, consider the mechanics of a music box. A small drum with pegs catches and flicks the chimes in a specific sequence to produce a tune. Similarly, in a PLC, you can have a drum activated either by an event (such as input from a limit switch or button) or by time. The functionality of sequencers is comparable to that of drum instruction. A sequencer enables users to define each step based on time and/or event, and specific outputs can be configured to activate when entering or exiting the step. However, sequencers can produce up to 16 Boolean, Integer, or Numerical Tags per step in their output. On the other hand, drum instruction outputs are limited to the same 16-bit (Boolean) outcomes. We have done similar Drum instructions for the BRX Series and Click PLC. https://accautomation.ca/series/brx-do-more-plc/ https://accautomation.ca/series/click-plc/ We will discuss the drum and sequencer instructions in the Productivity 2000 Series PLC. Simple examples will be given to demonstrate the power of these instructions. 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 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 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. ACC Automation https://www.accautomation.ca
