The BRX platform is a very versatile modular Micro PLC system that combines powerful features in a compact, standalone foot-print. The BRX platform is designed to be used as a standalone controller or can be expanded using a wide variety of expan-sion modules that easily snap onto the side of any BRX Micro PLC Unit (MPU) creating a sturdy and rugged PLC platform.
The foundation of the platform consists of four unique MPU form factors that provide for a strong system design to fit your appli-cation requirements while keeping the cost of the system to a minimum. Shown below are the four unique Micro PLC form factors.

The BRX platform enables you to choose from various communications ports. All BRX MPU models have a built-in RS232C/485 (software-selectable) serial port. However, an RJ45 Ethernet port (10/100 Mbps) is provided on select units. With support for EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU, ASCII, K-sequence (DirectLOGIC users) and custom protocols,
the BRX MPU platform provides supreme versatility for any application. BRX hard-ware is built to last and is engineered, assembled and supported right here in America; designed and fabricated by industrial automation veterans with hard-ware facilities in Tennessee and Florida. The compact modular architecture results in an outstanding controller package, with
high performance, a small footprint, at a very low cost. The BRX platform has built-in high-speed I/O, motion control, on-board analog I/O, and many other features that enable you to build the ideal controller for your application. Below is a quick look at some of the standard features available on the BRX Platform.
External Power12–24 VDC or120–240 VAC.
Large Terminal Blocks5mm pitch, individually removable by common groups.
Customizable Label WindowAvailable on BX18/18E and BX36/36E MPUs.
Built-in Analog I/OOn select models.
Do-more! DM1 TechnologyExisting Do-more! projects can port over 100%.
Built-in High Speed I/OUp to 10 DC inputs andhalf of the DC outputs.
