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.

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.

We will connect the Productivity 1000 PLC to the Modbus remote IO. 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.

There are several reasons why we are using the Productivity 1000 Series Controller. 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.
