Base PLC-M12

SKU:K011-B

Description

Base PLC-M12 is an industrial control base. It comes with an industrial-grade enclosure, designed specifically for industrial control applications. Unlike typical industrial PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), it has a more compact design. While delivering core industrial control functions, it also maintains low power consumption. Based on the M5 development ecosystem, users can add any number of relay switches as needed, and the base also supports TTL/RS485 communication. It supports functional module stacking expansion, for example, stacking a LoRa module can make the PLC a LoRa communication node. Additionally, the base includes a PLC - Proto board, making it easy for follow-up circuit development. With different hardware stacking and expansion designs, it can meet various customized needs in industrial-grade application scenarios. Therefore, Base PLC-M12 is an ideal solution for industrial control projects.
