AutomationDirect P3-550 controller module
In plain English
What it does
P3-550 is the drawing identifier for controller module in AutomationDirect's Productivity3000 PAC collection. A controller module runs a control program and exchanges information with its connected inputs, outputs and communications. The physical layout must still account for its exact mounting and connector positions.
A simple example
For example, in a microgrid installation with a pump station where one controller coordinates the selected I/O, use the P3-550 reference to coordinate programming and communications plugs, I/O assembly and service removal. Show the neighbouring equipment and the connection route so the installer can understand the intended arrangement.
What the drawings help you do
Use the reviewed native drawing identified as PLC Families/P3000/P3-550.dwg for the exact physical details. Locate the named file in its original manufacturer archive. Manufacturer drawing previews are shown only when an exact approved source is available. Any illustrative 3D view is a separate concept and is not to scale; use the selected manufacturer documents for dimensions, ratings and installation details.
- Drawing identity
- The named manufacturer drawing used to identify the intended physical configuration.
- Interface
- The place where this part mounts, connects or meets another selected part.
- Service space
- The area needed to reach, disconnect or remove the selected equipment as instructed.
Before using this reference
- Match P3-550, the native drawing identity and the project equipment schedule.
- Identify the controller, adjacent modules and programming-access route.
- Coordinate programming and communications plugs, I/O assembly and service removal with neighbouring equipment.
- Confirm the current manufacturer installation instructions, selected revision and any required mounting or clearance details.

How to read it
- Keep programming and communications plugs, I/O assembly and service removal visible in the layout.
- This reference concerns the named P3-550 drawing and its controller module role. A drawing in the same collection is not automatic evidence of compatible terminals, mounts or electrical performance.
Information to show or reference
- Match P3-550, the native drawing identity and the project equipment schedule.
- Identify the controller, adjacent modules and programming-access route.
- Coordinate programming and communications plugs, I/O assembly and service removal with neighbouring equipment.
- Confirm the current manufacturer installation instructions, selected revision and any required mounting or clearance details.
A distinction that matters
This reference concerns the named P3-550 drawing and its controller module role. A drawing in the same collection is not automatic evidence of compatible terminals, mounts or electrical performance.
