The Productivity Series PLCs utilize a tag name memory structure and provide a powerful scalable solution that can easily conform to large systems with tons of I/O or smaller systems using limited I/O. Superior device integration that includes GS drives, Protos X field I/O and others, and onboard analog module data displays are just a few convienence features of this popular series.
Do-more BRX, H2 and T1H Series PLCs are the next generation programmable controllers built on strong PLC and field I/O foundations to make control applications easier to implement.
The CLICK family of PLCs was designed with simplicity in mind, providing reliable control at a low, low cost and with little to no learning curve. CLICK controllers are a perfect solution for small machines, home automation projects, pneumatic applications or anywhere a simple system needs a budget-saving control solution.
A dependable PLC platform for over 35 years, the DirectLOGIC series PLCs are fixed I/O (brick) and modular, rack-based controllers with a common programming platform. Most components are compatible with existing installations under the DirectLOGIC name as well as legacy private-labeled models. This series is not recommended for new installations.
The ProductivityŽOpen platform provides all the great features of a standard Arduino plus the added power and reliability of an industrial controller. The processor circuit of the P1AM-100 CPU is designed to mimic the Arduino MKRZero microcontroller. The P1AM-100 is compatible with most available Arduino MKR format shields, and/or all of the industrially-hardened ProductivityOpen shields, and can utilize most Arduino sketch programs found on open-source websites. The industrial-grade P1AM-100:
