Overview

  • Engineered by Allen-Bradley / Rockwell Automation, this 36-channel Micro PLC delivers powerful programmable logic control in a compact, DIN-rail mountable form factor
  • Purpose-built for applications where space is limited but performance cannot be compromised — from conveyor systems to HVAC controls and process automation
  • A cost-effective entry into the Rockwell Automation ecosystem without sacrificing industrial-grade durability

I/O Capabilities

  • 16 Digital Inputs supporting both Sink (NPN) and Source (PNP) wiring configurations
  • 16 Digital Outputs — Sourcing (PNP), rated at 12/24 VDC with photocoupler isolation
  • 2 Analog Inputs supporting voltage (0–10V, 1–10V, 0–5V, 1–5V) and current (0–20mA, 4–20mA) signals
  • 2 Analog Outputs configurable for voltage (0–10V) or current (4–20mA) output
  • Total of 36 I/O channels, all onboard — no expansion required for standard applications

Communication & Connectivity

  • 10/100 Base-T Ethernet port for network integration and remote programming
  • RS-232 and RS-422/RS-485 serial ports for legacy device connectivity
  • USB 2.0 (Mini-B) port for local programming and firmware updates

Control & Processing Performance

  • Execution speed of 300ns per step for fast, deterministic scan cycles
  • 10K STEP program memory for comprehensive control logic
  • Real-Time Clock (RTC) for time-stamped events and scheduled operations
  • PID control with Auto-Tuning for precise closed-loop process regulation
  • 2 High-Speed Counter (HSC) inputs rated up to 20 kHz — ideal for encoder feedback and pulse counting
  • 2 Pulse Train Output (PTO) channels rated up to 100 kHz for stepper/servo positioning applications

Programming & Software

  • Supports all major IEC 61131-3 programming languages: Ladder Diagram (LD), Instruction List (IL), Function Block Diagram (FBD), and Sequential Function Chart (SFC)
  • Compatible with Rockwell Automation Studio 5000 Logix Designer or equivalent configuration environments
  • Simulate and test control programs offline before deployment — reducing commissioning time
