Modicon PLCs & Accessories

Schneider Electric Modicon PLCs and accessories provide the foundation for reliable industrial automation systems across manufacturing, processing, and infrastructure applications. These programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and programmable automation controllers (PACs) are designed to operate in demanding environments while delivering consistent, deterministic control of machines and processes. RSP Supply carries a comprehensive selection of Modicon PLC hardware, including processors, I/O modules, networking components, power supplies, backplanes, memory cards, and programming cables.

PLCs are commonly used to monitor inputs, execute control logic, and drive outputs based on user-defined programs. They serve as the interface between field devices and higher-level systems such as HMIs and SCADA platforms. Modicon PLCs are well suited for machine control, assembly systems, motion applications, and other automation tasks where reliability and repeatability are critical. Their modular architecture allows systems to be tailored to specific application requirements while maintaining long-term flexibility.

For more complex and scalable systems, Modicon PACs extend automation capabilities across multiple devices and networks. PACs support advanced networking protocols, larger memory capacity, and higher levels of coordinated control, including multi-axis motion and vision-based applications. Together, Modicon PLCs, PACs, and accessories provide a complete automation ecosystem that supports everything from standalone machines to fully integrated, networked industrial systems.
