All Micro800 products have the same programming environment, accessories and plug-ins.<\/p>\n<h2>MICRO800 SELECTION GUIDE<\/h2>\n<h3>PLC MICRO 810 ROCKWELL AUTOMATION<\/h3>\n<p>These PLCs function as\u00a0<strong>smart relays<\/strong>\u00a0with high current outputs.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They support 12 I\/O points with 4 high current (8A) relay outputs which eliminate the need for external relays.<\/li>\n<li>Application data can be monitored and modified using the optional liquid crystal display.<\/li>\n<li>You can configure and manage smart relay function blocks without programming.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>PLC MICRO 870 ROCKWELL AUTOMATION<\/h3>\n<p>These micro PLCs are designed for large stand-alone machine control applications that require flexible communications and increased I\/O capabilities. They support:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>up to 304 I\/O points;<\/li>\n<li>up to 8 expansion I\/O modules<\/li>\n<li>up to 3 Micro800 \u2122 plug-in modules<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>They also offer 280KB memory capable of supporting up to 128KB of user data and up to 20,000 program steps. The Micro 870 PLC provides integrated communication functions via USB programming ports, non-isolated serial port and Ethernet support. Communication takes place via Ethernet\/IP protocol.<\/p>\n<h3>PLC MICRO 850 ROCKWELL AUTOMATION<\/h3>\n<p>These micro PLCs are designed for large stand-alone machine control applications, such as those of micro 870 plc. Here there are the main differences:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They support up to 132 I\/O points with high I\/O performance<\/li>\n<li>They support up to 4 expansion I\/O modules<\/li>\n<li>They support up to 5 Micro800 \u2122 plug-in modules<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And even then the controller communicates via the Ethernet\/IP\u2122 protocol.<\/p>\n<h3>PLC MICRO 830 ROCKWELL AUTOMATION<\/h3>\n<p>They differ from the 870 and 850 micro PLCs for these features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the PLCs support up to 88 I\/O points with high I\/O performance<\/li>\n<li>the controllers available are 10, 16, 24 and 48 points<\/li>\n<li>they support up to 5 Micro800 \u2122 plug-in modules<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Several Micro830 and Micro850 controllers support\u00a0<strong>point-to-point positioning control<\/strong>\u00a0through integrated pulse train outputs (PTO). This mode is only present on models with this end part of the codes: BB or VB. These micro PLCs also allow you to configure up to\u00a0<strong>six High Speed \u200b\u200bCounters<\/strong>\u00a0(HSC).<\/p>\n<h3>PLC MICRO 820 ROCKWELL AUTOMATION<\/h3>\n<p>These PLCs have been designed for remote automation and stand-alone machine control applications with reduced complexity, but with applications that require flexible communications and great I\/O capabilities.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Plcs Micro820 support up to 163 I\/O points<\/li>\n<li>These are 20-point controllers<\/li>\n<li>They supports up to 2 Micro800\u2122 plug-in modules<\/li>\n<li>They have an integrated non-isolated 0 \u2026 10V 4-channel analog input and 1-channel analog output for speed control of a frequency converter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These micro PLCs also communicate via Ethernet\/ P \u2122 and have integrated communication functions via serial port and non-isolated Ethernet port.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The programming and configuration software environment for Rockwell Automation Micro 800 controllers is Connected Components Workbench \u2122<\/strong>.
