Open Board Products
When you’re mounting in a control panel and want maximum features at a compelling cost, open-board PLCs deliver. You get flexible I/O, a range of comms (Ethernet, cellular, CAN/J1939, Modbus, Wi-Fi), and expansion options, all in formats designed for standoff or DIN-rail mounting.
What you gain:
Right-sized hardware: multiple footprints and temperature ratings (0–60°C or -40–80°C).
Configurable I/O: digital, analog, relays, PWM, high-speed counting.
Human interface options: keypad/display and remote HMI where needed.
IoT-enabled, local webserver and EZ LADDER® programming.
