## Study notes

- The P2-550 CPU has 50 Mb memory, LED status indicators and a 4 line x 10 character OLED diagnostic text display with keypad.
- Five onboard communication ports include Ethernet, USB and serial; a micro USB 2.0 Type B port supports programming, online monitoring and firmware upgrades.
- Two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports: the first is for programming, monitoring, firmware upgrades and client/server connections (Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP scanner and adapters); the second is dedicated to up to 16 GS1, GS2 or Durapulse variable frequency drives.
- The CPU has one RS232 and one RS485 serial port for Modbus or ASCII communication.
- A microSD card slot accepts a standard microSD card for up to 32 GB additional data logging and for transferring projects; the built-in Web server can view, download and delete data log files from a browser.
- I/O bases are available in 4, 7, 11 and 15-slot models; over 25 I/O modules include up to 16-point DC I/O, 16-point AC I/O and analog voltage, current or temperature modules.
- The P2-SCM serial communications module features three RS-232 ports and one RS-485 port; the system can have up to 46 serial ports.
- Specialty modules include two high-speed 2-channel counter input and pulse output modules, an 8-point input simulator module with eight hand-operated switches, and a filler module for unused slot connections.
- ProductivitySuite software supports tag name-based programming, hardware auto-discovery and configuration, offline drag-and-drop configuration and electronic keying.
- AutomationDirect is named in the document as the manufacturer but is not in the provided reference id list.
