- BRX platform is available in four form factors with up to 36 I/O points built in. For an Industry 4.0 and IIoT PLC platform, the BRX is likely to be your choice.
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 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: Tag name Based
- 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
- 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 (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.
