Productivity Series PLCs

The Productivity Series PLCs

The Productivity family of PLCs is our most versatile family. In terms of hardware, Productivity offers three distinct form factors with two being rack-based and one being stackable. Each series (P1000, P2000, P3000) offers different I/O capacities but all use the same programming software, allowing you to easily scale your control up or down depending on the application or machine build. The ProductivitySuite software provides versatile programming with tag name addressing that has no predefined memory structure, and offers convenient device integration for easy plug-and-play operation with our PS-AMC motion controllers, GS drives, Protos X field I/O, and StrideLinx VPNs.

Advanced Control:

  • Rack-based systems with pluggable CPU and I/O modules, or stackable form factor available
  • Tag name based programming with 50MB user memory
  • Numerous built-in communication options including Ethernet, serial, USB, remote and local expansion
  • Support for EtherNet/IP (implicit and explicit) with convenient EDS library
  • MQTT(S) capability for cloud networking connections
  • Web server and mobile access
  • OLED/LCD module data displays (P2000/P3000)
  • Integrated motion controller, GS drive, StrideLinx VPN and Protos X field I/O support
  • External microSD data logging
  • Scalable platforms from 128 to over 59K I/O points with analog, discrete, pulse width modulation, and high-speed options
  • ABS certified for marine applications (select P2000/P3000 modules)
  • Project simulator
  • Easy-to-use coordinated motion control with the PS-AMC motion controllers and built-in motion instructions

Starting at $237.00
(P1000 CPU module)

ProductivityCODESYS PLC

The ProductivityCODESYS PLC system combines the Productivity2000 hardware with a CODESYS engine for those who prefer CODESYS programming but need a low-cost hardware solution. The ProductivityCODESYS PLC does not support Productivity Suite software.

Advanced Control:

  • Rack based system utilizing Productivity2000 bases, power supplies, and I/O modules
  • CPU with CODESYS runtime application and numerous built-in communication ports
  • Fully IEC 61131-3 compliant with sequential function charts, ladder diagrams, function block programming, structured text, and more
  • Several CODESYS add-on licenses included for fieldbus communication, system visualization, and IIoT applications
