BRX Do-More PLC System Hardware

We will now look at the system hardware of the BRX Do-More controller. The BRX Do-More series of programmable logic controllers is a stackable micro brick. This is sometimes also referred to as a shoebox PLC because of the shape and way in which expansion modules are added. This new BRX series PLC is the latest in the Do-More series of controllers that have hit the market. Do-More H2 (Micro Modular PLC) Do-More T1H (Stackable PLC) BRX Series PLC (Stackable Micro Brick) The BRX Do-More series offers built-in data logging, intergraded motion control, customizable communication ports, and expansion capabilities. These features like other Automation Direct products are offered at a very good price point. BRX series of controllers will use the same software as the other Do-More PLCs (Do-More Designer) and is a free download. We will be looking at this full-featured software that comes with a simulator later in this series. We will be walking through a lot of the features of this powerful controller. Let’s start by looking at the hardware. More information can be obtained at our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video. https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-system-hardware BRX Series PLC Unboxing https://youtu.be/-Tf8m3BqzPo There are several reasons why we are using the BRX Series Controller. Here are just a few. - Standalone PLC with built-in I/O - Built-in Data Logging - Communication ability - Ethernet Port, RS232, RS485, USB - support for protocols such as Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, ASCII, K-sequence (DirectLOGIC users), Custom Protocols (ASCII over serial, TCP or UDP over Ethernet) - Built-in Analog input and output - Integrated motion control - High-speed counters - Powerful instruction set (Video of Instructions in software) - Ability to expand the system with a variety of modules - Part of the Do-More series of PLCs which use the same free software. (Do-More Designer) - Integrated simulator in the software capable of external communications for testing The BRX series of programmable logic controllers consist of four different units. They differ depending on the Inputs and Outputs built into the unit and if it has an Ethernet port. No I/O Micro PLC unit – (BX ME) 10 Point Micro PLC unit – (BX 10/10E) 18 Point Micro PLC unit - (BX 18/18E) 36 Point Micro PLC unit - (BX 36/36E) These CPUs (Central Processing Units) are also known as MPU (Multi-Processing Units) because of the communication capabilities. https://www.accautomation.ca
