The internal programmable logic controller (PLC) uses ladder logic processing. It can respond to inputs and control automated equipment through discrete outputs, stepper motors, analog outputs or remote DeviceNet products. Using USB 2.0 communications is said to enable module-to-PC update speed or data rates as high as 40,000 times per second.
