Programmable Controllers

The Productivity3000 rack-based PLC is a communications powerhouse with numerous networking options built in. It's also the I/O leader of the Productivity PLC family with both local and remote expansion.

• Rack-based form factor with over 59,000 I/O points possible
• Numerous networking options built in, including serial and Ethernet, supporting many industry-standard protocols and remote devices
• LCD status displays on CPU and analog modules
• Programmed with the Productivity Suite software that offers tag-name programming and supreme device integration

The BRX platform is the flagship controller of the Do-more PLC family. This versatile stackable micro-PLC system combines many powerful features in a compact footprint. With IIoT Integration, data logging, motion control, high speed I/O, abundant processing power, and customizable communications, BRX PLCs can easily satisfy the changing demands of industrial automation projects.

• Four micro-PLC unit form factor combinations are available (3 with built-in I/O) to provide strong system designs that fit application requirements exactly, keeping system costs to a minimum
• The BRX platform is designed to be used as a stand-alone controller or can be expanded using a wide variety of expansion modules that easily snap onto the side of any BRX micro-PLC unit
• Up to 36 built-in I/O points are provided and up to 8 expansion modules can be added for an additional 256 discrete, 128 high-speed, or 64 analog I/O points
• Ethernet and serial communication are built-in (depending on model) with a user-selected communication port providing an additional Ethernet, serial, or USB port
• Programmed using the powerful and flexible Do-more Designer software with a robust set of over 200 instructions

The H2 and T1H CPUs round out the Do-more family of controllers and are designed to supercharge two of our time-tested hardware platforms.

• The Do-more H2 series PLC combines the proven DirectLOGIC DL205 series line of I/O modules and base units with an advanced next-generation CPU for an incredibly powerful micro modular PLC
• The T1H series PLC module takes the modular and space-saving package of our Terminator I/O line and converts it into a stand-alone control system
• Both platforms use the powerful and flexible Do-more Designer software with an extensive set of programming tools and instructions.

• XMC Motion Controllers

The LS Electric XGB PLC is a super-slim modular controller that offers maximum performance at minimum cost. With many motion-specific features built right in and a highly capable IEC based programming environment, these controllers deliver lots of power in a little package. 

• Seven stackable, micro-PLC processors with up to 16 inputs and 16 outputs, I/O types dependent on model
  
• Specific inputs can be configured as (up to) 4 high-speed counter inputs and 4 preset inputs
• 2-axis or 6-axis motion control capability (using specific outputs, depending on model)
• Up to 16 ultra-precise motion control axes possible using EtherCAT expansion modules
• Ethernet, serial, and USB ports
• Supports up to 7 local expansion modules including analog I/O (up to 56 channels) , discrete I/O (up to 256 points), high-speed counter, temperature, load cell, EtherCAT, and EtherNet/IP modules
• Bus couplers allow for many more expansion I/O points and support remote I/O configurations
• The XG5000 programming software offers multiple programming languages including ladder logic and structured text

For even more motion control capabilities, the XMC motion controller builds on the XGB architecture but offers a full EtherCAT master AND several I/O points built in.

• Control 8 or 16 EtherCAT axes (depending on controller model)
• Discrete I/O and analog channels built in
• Built-in encoder inputs allow full closed-loop control
• Control up to 32 EtherCAT I/O racks with optional EtherCAT bus coupler and XGB I/O
• All programming is done within the free XG5000 software
  

A dependable PLC platform for over 35 years, the DirectLOGIC series PLCs are fixed I/O (brick) and modular, rack-based controllers with a common programming platform. Available components are compatible with, and intended for, existing installations under the DirectLOGIC name as well as legacy private-labeled models. This series is not recommended for new installations.

The ProductivityCODESYS system combines the time-tested Productivity2000 hardware with a CODESYS processor, providing a more affordable solution for those who prefer that programming environment. With the ProductivityCODESYS system, users can utilize the CODESYS IDE in many more ways, bringing a powerful world-renowned IEC-based programming language to applications large and small.

• Rack-based form factor
• Multiple built-in communication ports, including serial and Ethernet, supporting many industry-standard protocols and remote devices
• Utilizes industrial Productivity2000 analog, discrete, and PWM I/O modules 
• Programmed using the CODESYS IDE and includes fieldbus, IIoT library, and visualization add-ons

The ProductivityOpen platform provides all the features of a standard Arduino platform plus the added power and reliability of an industrialized controller. Designed to mimic the Arduino MKRZero microcontroller, the P1AM CPUs are is compatible with most available Arduino MKR format shields, all of the industrially-hardened ProductivityOpen shields, and can utilize numerous compatible programs found on open-source websites.

ZIPLinks cut wiring time from hours down to minutes. The ZIPLink connection system eliminates the normally tedious process of wiring programmable logic controller I/O to terminal blocks.

• Simply plug one end of a ZIPLink connection cable into a Productivity, Do-More, DirectLOGIC or CLICK I/O module and the other end into a ZIPLink connector module. It's that easy.
• ZIPLinks use half the space, at a fraction of the total cost of terminal blocks
• ZIPLink cables and modules are available in a variety of styles to suit your needs. Some are designed exclusively for our PLCs. Others may be used with various PLC brands
• ZIPLinks are available for our most popular discrete input and output modules
