- ABS certified for marine applications (P2000/P3000)
- Project simulator
- Easy-to-use coordinated motion control with the PS-AMC motion controllers and built-in motion instructions
ProductivityOpen - Industrial Open-Source Controller
Programmable controllers have become the primary automation method for many industries and applications providing accurate, reliable, easily-modified control. Open-source controllers have grown in popularity due to their extremely low cost and their ability to utilize openly shared programs found online in their applications. The ProductivityOpen controller allows the same sharing of ideas and programs but is hardened for the industrial environment.
