We will connect the Productivity Mini
PLC P1 M6222
16DR to our computer running the
Productivity Suite software. An Ethernet
RJ45 communication link will be made to
our programmable logic controller. The
P1 M622 series packs six communication
ports into a standalone package smaller
than your hand. That's USBC programming,
dual Ethernet ports, RS232, RS485, and a
micro SD slot for data logging, all
without needing separate IO modules or
power supplies. Let's get started.

P1 M6226DR
communication ports.
The P1 M6226DR
mini PLC includes the following
communication ports.
One, micro SD slot. Two, USBC 2.0
programming port. Three, RS232 serial
port, RJ12.
Four, RS485 serial port terminal block
style.
Five 10100 megabyte Ethernet port.
Six 1000 megabyte Ethernet port for
remote IO.
Mini PLC connection.
Connect our RJ45 Ethernet cable from the
Ethernet port on the Productivity Mini
PLC P1 M62216DR
to our network router or switch. Our
computer is also connected to the router
or switch on the same network.
Start the productivity suite software
package. Double click on the shortcut
icon on your screen or from the Windows
start button. All programs automation
direct productivity suite.
Call the productivity CPU connections
window.
When you first start up the productivity
suite software, you will get the start
menu. Click on read the project from the
CPU. This will call up the CPU
connections window.
You can also get to this window at any
time by one of the following three ways.
One, click the choose CPU icon in the
software's main menu.
Two, click choose CPU from the
application tools menu under control
CPU.
Three, click choose CPU from the main
menu under CPU.
Click the IP4 connection in the CPU
connections window.
You will notice we now have some
additional choices that we can change.
Click start blinking CPU run light.
This will start the run light on the
P1M62216DR
unit blinking. It is a great way to
ensure that we are communicating with
the correct PLC unit.
Click stop blinking CPU run light. The
run light will stop blinking.
Change IP address. Productivity Ethernet
communication.
Highlight the Ethernet connection type
in our CPU connections window. Click
change CPU IP all name. The change IP
address while CPU name window will now
appear.
Ensure that the Ethernet port is
selected. We will now change the
settings to the following. IP address
192 168 1 156.
Subnet mask 255 255 255 0
default gateway 192 168 1 This is the
access to the internet.
See the following for a review of IP
addressing accutomation.ca.
What everybody ought to know about IP
addressing.
The CPU name default is the model
number. This is P1 M62216DR.
We will leave this as is, but you could
change the name to something easier to
address in your automation project.
Click okay to save the changes made.
Notice that the IP address has changed
in our CPU connections window.
Connect to the PLC, establishing
Ethernet communication.
Click on the connect button.
This will select the Ethernet port we
want to use for programming the unit in
our CPU connections window.
We currently have no project in our CPU,
so a warning message is shown. Click
okay.
Our screen will now show that we are
connected the PLC's current mode and the
PLC's connection status.
The icon in the software's main menu
shows we are online and in stop mode.
The application tools menu under control
CPU also shows that we are online and in
stop mode.
The status bar at the bottom of the
screen under CPU will show our
connection type and the CPU name.
CPU the Ethernet connection 192 1681 156
