ProductivityCODESYS: Versatile Ethernet - included!

The CODESYS system offers a powerful IDE with additional licenses required for various other functions. One license offered is for communication protocols used with fieldbus devices. Normally, this license comes with an extra cost but with the ProductivityCODESYS PLC, we have included the Fieldbus licensing free of charge so you can communicate right out of the box using two of the most popular industry protocols - Modbus and EtherNet/IP. Pair that with the P2CDS-622 CPU's numerous built-in communication ports, and you have everything you need to get your ProductivityCODESYS PLC online quickly.

One great hardware feature of the ProductivityCODESYS CPU is the dual Ethernet ports. With them, you can configure the CPU to communicate over two separate networks which is great for IT/OT communication:

PORT 1: This multipurpose Ethernet port can be used with numerous networks, for example, use this port to connect to IT systems like high-level production analysis programs, inventory management software, etc. (additional converters/gateways may be required).

PORT 2: Use this multipurpose Ethernet port to gather real-time data from factory-floor process controllers, control-room HMIs, field I/O systems, VFDs, etc.

By using the dual Ethernet ports in this way, the P2CDS-622 CPU can act as a data bridge, transferring vital process data from the factory floor to upper-level enterprise systems.
