Productivity 2000 Series PLC - Automation Direct - Productivity 2000 Series PLC Tag Database

The Productivity Suite Software allows us to use tags in the PLC. Tags are a method for assigning and referencing memory locations (numbering systems) within the programmable logic controller. They allow a more structured programming approach and are stored within a tag database. The tag database is stored in the memory of the Productivity Series of PLCs from Automation Direct. Do not overthink tags. Tags are just names that we assign to variables of any data type stored in the PLC memory. We will now look at the tag numbering systems and database used with the Productivity 2000 controller. 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
