Next-generation PAC

Jan. 10, 2010
The Productivity3000 Programmable Automation Controller is the vendor’s latest generation of industrial controllers that combines features and capabilities of a PC-based control system with that of a typical programmable logic controller (PLC). 
Productivity3000 is a modular, rack-based system of up to 116,000 I/O points with local, expansion and remote I/O bases and a full line-up of discrete, analog and specialty I/O modules. The high-performance CPU has 50Mb memory, fast scan times and seven communication ports for $599. The P3-550 CPU features a 4 line x 10 character LCD well-suited to display system alarms and information or user-defined messages. The seven onboard communications ports support USB, Ethernet and serial devices. Two power supplies (AC- and DC-powered) are available; both provide isolated 24VDC, 5VDC, and 3.3VDC to the Productivity3000 bases. I/O bases are available in 3-, 5-, 8-, and 11-slot models. ProductivitySuite programming software features tag name-based programming for better documentation management and more seamless integration with HMIs.AutomationDirectwww.automationdirect.com800.633.0405
