$69 micro brick PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) from AutomationDirect

The new CLICK™ family of PLC components offers practical PLC features in a compact yet expandable design, with easy-to-use FREE programming software. A powered CLICK CPU unit can function as a complete PLC control system with eight inputs and six outputs. CPU unit prices start at just $69. For expansion, eleven option modules (starting at $33), are available to allow for configurations up to 142 I/O.

All CLICK CPUs support 8K steps of program memory and 8K words of data memory. The CLICK user-friendly programming software features 21 practical relay ladder logic and function block instructions supported by extensive online help files. The software is a free download from the AutomationDirect Web site.

ZIPLink™ pre-wired I/O cables are also available to help eliminate the labor-intensive wiring of PLC I/O to terminal blocks. CLICK ZIPLink cable prices start at $16.50.

• Easy Installation

• The CLICK PLC control system does not require a mounting base, which saves on space.
• The CLICK CPU and I/O modules are connected together via an expansion port on the sides of the modules.
• Expandable I/O

• A powered CLICK CPU module by itself can be used as a complete PLC control system with eight input points and six output points built-in
• Or, the PLC system can be expanded with the addition of up to eight I/O modules.
• A variety of I/O modules are available for flexible and optimal system configuration. The I/O numbering system is decimal.
• Built-in Communications

• The CLICK CPUs have two built-in RS-232 communications ports.
• Can be configured for either MODBUS RTU or ASCII networks.
• FREE PLC Programming Software

• With 21 Easy to Use Instructions
• Provides ease of use and quick learning.
• The CLICK PLC supports a very simple, but useful instruction set.
• The 21 easy to use instructions can cover most applications that are suitable for this class of PLC.

CPU Modules

CLICK PLC CPU modules are available with different combinations of built-in I/O types.

• Four I/O types: DC input/DC output (2), DC input/relay output, and AC input/relay output
• The four CLICK CPU modules all offer the same performance, instruction set, and support the available optional I/O modules.
• With the 14 built-in I/O points (8 inputs/6 outputs), the CLICK CPU can be used as a ready-to-go PLC control system without any additional I/O modules
• Up to 8 I/O modules can be connected to a CLICK CPU module to expand the system I/O count and meet the needs of a specific application.

CLICK PLC CPU's now have Built-in Analog I/O

Three new CPUs with built-in analog I/O have been added to the CLICK™ Micro Brick programmable controller line. The new CPUs feature two 0-5 VDC or 4-20 mA analog inputs and two 0-5 VDC or 4-20 mA analog outputs. These CPUs also have four built-in discrete inputs and four discrete sourcing, sinking or relay outputs. The modules include three communication ports (two RS232 and one RS485), real time clock and battery backup for internal SRAM. Four Basic CPU modules are also available having eight discrete DC or AC inputs and six DC or relay outputs. All CLICK CPUs are configured with the easy-to-use programming software, available as a free download. Prices for the analog CPUs start at $129.
