We will connect the Productivity Mini
0:09
16DR to our computer running the
0:11
Productivity Suite software. An Ethernet
0:14
RJ45 communication link will be made to
0:16
our programmable logic controller. The
0:18
P1 M622 series packs six communication
0:21
ports into a standalone package smaller
0:23
than your hand. That's USBC programming,
0:26
dual Ethernet ports, RS232, RS485, and a
0:30
micro SD slot for data logging, all
0:32
without needing separate IO modules or
0:34
power supplies. Let's get started.
