AutomationDirect’s P1-412 and P1-622 CPUs are next generation versions of the existing Productivity Suite series 1000 P1-540 and P1-550 CPUs. These new CPUs have all the functionality and hardware features of the original models, including multiple built-in communication ports/protocols, USB programming and a microSD card slot, plus they utilize the latest system architecture allowing them to take advantage of current and future software enhancements.

In addition, the P1-412 and P1-622 support the secure MQTTS protocol and are less expensive than their older counterparts. Also released are the Productivity1000 Mini PLC units, which are standalone models for the Productivity family with built-in I/O, combining the CPU and I/O into a single unit. Other Productivity series require users to buy the I/O and CPU separately, but with the Mini series, users get a choice of models with embedded discrete or analog/temperature I/O. This design provides significant cost savings, especially with smaller systems.

The Mini PLCs include all the great features of the Productivity family including multiple communication ports/protocols, USB programming, integrated GS drive, Protos X field I/O and PS-AMC support (P1-M622 only). There are 17 different models available, and each can be expanded for systems with greater I/O needs.

User-defined instructions (UDIs) allow the user to package complex logic into reusable blocks, making PLC code easier to read, faster to develop and simpler to maintain. This feature and many other time savers are included in the free user-friendly Productivity Suite software.
