Controller supports ethernet/ip

Productivity3000 controller supports EtherNet/IP as standard protocol via its P3-550 CPU and embedded Ethernet port. P3-550 can support EtherNet/IP configurable as a scanner, adapter or both simultaneously, and can communicate to devices using explicit messaging or implicit I/O messaging methods. In scanner mode, P3-550 CPU supports up to 128 total connections with a maximum of 32 devices.

Logic in extremely small spaces

Nanoline nano-class controllers include a NLC-035 logic module. At just 40 mm wide, NLC-035 is half the width of the NLC-055 series. NLC-035 has four digital inputs and two relay outputs rated 5 A with LED indicators. It also has a built-in RJ11 programming port and integrated real-time clock. Users can expand I/O count with the NLC-IOX expansion module.

Integrated field wiring

EZWire1616 PLC is one of the first of its kind in the PLC market with integrated, field-wire-ready I/O terminals. Every sensor and actuator in the control system can be wired directly to the PLC without needing added screw terminal blocks and wire harnesses, which saves system integrators’ and OEMs’ time, material costs and panel space, and aids wiring error recovery efforts during installation.
