Productivity PLCs from AutomationDirect | Powerful, Scalable Control from Hobby to Industry

From the home hobbyist’s bench to the most demanding industrial plant, AutomationDirect’s Productivity PLC line delivers the freedom to choose the perfect controller for any job. The Productivity3000 sets the standard for large, complex automation projects that demand expansive I/O capability. For mid-sized systems, the Productivity2000 hits the sweet spot—compact, modular, and feature-rich. It’s powerful enough for demanding applications, yet budget-friendly enough for everyday control. When space and simplicity come first, the Productivity1000 provides a slim, stackable, cost-effective solution that’s easy to expand as your system grows. All three—the P1, P2, and P3—are available with the Productivity 622 CPU, AutomationDirect’s most advanced processor yet. With 50MB of on-board memory, USB-C programming, MicroSD data logging, 100-megabit Ethernet, and an Ethernet-based remote I/O port, the 622 connects seamlessly to Productivity Remote I/O modules, ProtosX TCP couplers, GS drives, and Productivity AMC motion modules. For even more compact control, the Productivity1000 Mini PLCs pack serious performance into all-in-one units. Seventeen variations combine CPU and I/O, and the Mini 622 models bring all the muscle of the 622 CPU to your smallest projects. Need fewer features? Choose the M401 or M412 for reliable, scaled-back performance at an even better price. All of these run on the intuitive Productivity Suite software—tag-based, easy to use, and packed with professional tools like User-Defined Instructions, task libraries, built-in version control, and offline simulation. And best of all, it’s all completely free to download—no licenses, no subscriptions, no hassle. Prefer IEC 61131-3 programming? The Productivity Codesys Controller pairs proven Productivity hardware with the open Codesys multi-language environment for global compatibility. Or take innovation further with the P1AM, Productivity 1000 open—an Arduino-compatible Productivity PLC that can be programmed using C++ or CircuitPython and blends maker flexibility with industrial-grade reliability. Whether you need the power of the Productivity 3000, the versatility of the Productivity 2000, the compact efficiency of the Productivity 1000, the global standard of Codesys, or the creative potential of P1AM—there’s a Productivity PLC for your application. Step up your control systems with Productivity PLCs—designed for flexibility, built for reliability, and available only from AutomationDirect. Check out the entire line at AutomationDirect.com.
