Modicon M262 PLC/motion controller with 5ns/boolean instruction and up to 24 synchronous axes for 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. Up to 24 synchronous axes in 4ms. Extensive motion control functions such as camming and gearing, 3D/G-code editor and DXF import, CNC library and editors, p2p robotics (up to 3 axes). A switched Ethernet dual-port switch (1Gbit/s) with RJ45 sockets for Ethernet/IP and Modbus/TCP for daisy chain and RSTP, an Ethernet port (100Mbit/s) with additional SERCOS III real-time bus. Available Ethernet services MQTTs, OPC UA Server/Client, HTTPs Methods (API), DHCP Client/Server, DNS Client, POP3s Client, RSTP, SMTPs. SNMP Agent/Manager, SNTP, NTP Client/Server, SQL remote access, web server, web visualization. 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), an integrated and configurable encoder input (SSI or incremental) with up to 200 kHz. 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/TM7 I/O system. Integrated safety by means of expansion with safety PLC (SLC).
