Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) contain the hardware and software used for the automation of industrial electromechanical processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines, amusement rides, or food processing. They are designed for multiple arrangements of digital and analog inputs and outputs and are built for industrial environments with extended temperature ranges, immunity to electrical noise, and resistance to vibration and impact.
Three unique PLC families meet industry demands and are constantly evolving to meet or exceed your needs:
- The CLICK PLC family features a compact size and easy programming, ideal for small applications and beginner projects. The CLICK PLUS series adds features such as Wi-Fi capability, motion control, data logging, and more.
- The Do-more/BRX PLC family has one of the most advanced instruction sets in the market and many other features, including REST API functionality, that allow it to stand strong against any challenge.
- The Productivity PLC family offers the utmost versatility in both hardware and software. This scalable PLC line will easily accommodate large systems with tons of I/O or smaller/segmented systems using limited I/O. With tag name programming, easy device integration that includes PS-AMC motion controllers, GS drives, and others, and WOW factors such as analog module data displays, Productivity PLCs are a perfect fit for almost any application.
In recent years, open-source controllers have made headway into the industrial realm, partly due to the extremely attractive price tag. These microcontrollers are very inexpensive, small, and typically consist of a single integrated circuit containing a processor, memory, and I/O. Off-the-shelf open-source controllers were originally designed for students and hobbyists, and using one in an industrial setting is just downtime waiting to happen. For those looking to incorporate open-source control into their industrial applications, the ProductivityOpen Arduino-based industrialized controller is the solution.
