Productivity 1000 PLC to Modbus TCP RTU Remote IO Controller BX MBIO

The Productivity 1000 PLC can communicate to a remote I/O (input and output) controller modules using the Modbus protocol for communications. The BX-MBIO provides both Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP interfaces. Modbus RTU is a serial communication and Modbus TCP is an Ethernet communication. More information can be obtained on our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video. https://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-plc-to-modbus-tcp-rtu-remote-io-controller-bx-mbio Modbus RTU is supported over an RS-485 serial connection. Modbus TCP is supported over an Ethernet connection. They function as listening/replying devices (slave, server) and can connect with any mastering (master, client) device that communicates using the Modbus protocol. Previously we looked at the BX-MBIO Modbus RTU TCP Remote IO Controller wiring and configuration.

This will be done using the Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU protocol. Ethernet and serial RS485 communication to the BX-MBIO unit will be the media. The BX-MBIO remote I/O expansion units feature the following: • RJ45 Ethernet port for communications via Modbus TCP • RS485 serial port for communications via Modbus RTU • Supports up to 8 additional Expansion Modules (Add the discrete or analog I/O you require) • AC and DC powered units available • AC powered units include an integral 24VDC auxiliary output power supply • Power connector and serial port connector included Let’s get started.

Here are just a few. - 50MB user memory - Can handle very complex applications easily. - 4 built-in communication ports – Easy connectivity to your network. - Data logging up to 32 GB on a microSD card - Add up to 8 IP modules to communicate to your field sensors. This will give you a total of 128 discrete IO points or 32 analog IO channels. - Free Software and 30 days of free training with every CPU from Automation Direct. - Interactive PLC Configuration Tool - Tag Names - Auto-discovery IO – Physical I/O tags will be generated based on each module’s position in the base. - I/O Modules have QR codes under the wiring cover. This can be scanned so you can have the latest specifications/wiring diagrams for the module. - Limitless PID – Autotuning – Individual or Cascade Mode - etc - Web Server and Mobile Access - Advanced Software instruction set The Productivity 1000 series of programmable logic controllers currently has all of these features built into the P1-540 CPU. This CPU (Central Processing Unit) is also known as MPU (Multi-Processing Units) because of the communication capabilities. https://www.accautomation.ca
