Ordering Information
- Note: Smart SoftPLC uses TOPDOC NexGen software for programming, configuration and troubleshooting. A free TOPDOC NexGen license is included with your first Smart SoftPLC purchase!
- If you want to use Tealware local I/O, specify this above in Local Tealware Interface
- All Smart SoftPLCs include all supported serial and ethernet protocols as standard, configurable in any mix. If you desire support for Allen-Bradley Data Highway Plus (DH+) or Remote I/O (RIO), or additional RS-485 ports, these must be factory installed - specify them above in Option Ports 1-3.
- If you want to use the WiFi support, this requires factory installation of an internal antenna extension and connector - specify this above in Wireless Options.
- If you want the internal cellular modem, this requires factory installation - specify this above in Wireless Options.
- Select any desired remote access and/or virtual HMI features. If the remote access connection will be other than wired Ethernet, the internal WiFi/cellular or an external modem/interface is required. See above or Modems/Wireless for options, or contact SoftPLC to discuss TagWell cloud-based solutions and approved third-party interfaces.
- The Size only applies if you are using ModbusTCP Master, Ethernet/IP, local Tealware I/O, A-B RIO or DH+ protocols. Select the Lite (LT) version if you are not using these protocols.
The Size determines the maximum number of ModbusTCP server connections, Ethernet/IP connection bytes, force-able discrete I/O, and Allen-Bradley logical I/O racks supported (I and O addresses). The table below summarizes the available sizes:
SoftPLC Sizes | ||||
Cat No Suffix | ModbusTCP Server Connections | Ethernet/IP Connection Bytes | Input (I) Addresses | Output (O) Addresses |
