IIoT-capable Modicon M262 PLC controller with 5ns / Boolean instruction for the automation of industrial machines with high demands on performance and connectivity. Highly networkable thanks to supported cloud protocols (MQTTs, HTTPs, OPC UA) and data formats (JSON). At the same time protected by comprehensive cybersecurity and encrypted communication (TLS). Implementation of complex communication structures with secure network segmentation thanks to up to 5 separate Ethernet ports (2 integrated, expandable to 3 with TMSES4) with their own MAC address and their own IP address space. A switched Ethernet dual-port switch (1Gbit/s) with RJ45 sockets for daisy chain and RSTP, an Ethernet port (100Mbit/s) Ethernet/IP and Modbus/TCP. Available Ethernet services MQTTs, OPC UA Server, HTTPs Methods (API), DHCP Client/Server, DNS Client, POP3s Client, RSTP, SMTPs. SNMP Agent/Manager, SNTP, NTP Client/Server, SQL remote access, webserver, Webvisu. An isolated RS485/RS232 interface with RJ45 socket for Modbus SL (ASCII/RTU) Master/Slave, ASCII character string. A total of 8 fast digital I/Os (4 inputs with 20 µs / 4 outputs with 3 µs). The power supply is via 24VDC. 192MB integrated RAM memory and 256MB flash memory. Equipped with a slot for µSD card, a USB-B port for programming, a run/stop switch, real-time clock and QR code with device ID and link to technical documentation. Local and decentralized I/O expansion with Modicon TM3/TM5 I/O system. Programming and configuration using EcoStruxure Machine Expert software (download from www.se.com).
