Productivity 2000 Series PLC - Automation Direct - Productivity 2000 Series PLC Modbus TCP Ethernet Now!

The Productivity 2000 series of PLCs has five built-in communication ports for easy connectivity to your PC or various industrial networks. Ethernet protocols like Modbus TCP can be utilized with the RJ45 port on this PLC. Modbus TCP is an open (published) protocol that uses the Server (Master) / Client (Slave) architecture. It’s a very common protocol used in industrial automation controls. We will use the RJ45 (Ethernet) port to communicate to a Click PLC. Modbus TCP will be the protocol used on this Ethernet communication media. The Productivity 2000 PLC will be the server, and the Click PLC will be the client. We will be creating a network between the two PLC units. A heartbeat will be used, so if communications are lost, the server (slave) will know. The throughput time will be timed using a small Click PLC program. You will soon see how the Productivity Series of PLCs best handles communication with other devices. 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
