CLICK PLC Software Overview: The Best Value PLC for Everyday Control Systems at AutomationDirect

[@JoseOPerezRuiz]

Hello, will it be possible to add a Instruction to the Click software to include a [Time Proportional instruction] or a sample program to control an output for this intention.

[@automationdirect]

If you are referring to leaving a digitial output for a proportional amount of time based on an analog value, such as you would use for a solid state switching PID output, the CLICK software doesn't have any instructions for that, however the Productivity Software help files from AutomationDirect do, and the same logic should work for a CLICK proportional output. Find them here: www.automationdirect.com/productivity/software/help?srsltid=AfmBOooTmrxEp9ds_N75FEg37TVPB6HsvhpWFgHrujJXTuiJ7h6OSkWf Type "P167" into the upper right corner search window to open the PID Instruction help topic, and then scroll down to the section called "Time-Proportioning Control." Hopefully that will help you.

Which is the limitation for timers and counters?

[@automationdirect]

Hi Edgar, Those numbers can be found in the spec sheet for the unit you want to use. Look at page 28 of this one for example: cdn.automationdirect.com/static/specs/c010dd1ed.pdf - it has 500 timers and 250 counters.

Hello. Is it possible to use Productivity Suite software for CLICK PLC?

[@automationdirect]

Hi Trung, No each software is dedicated to it's PLC. The good news is they are both FREE. Go to AutomationDirect.com to download them.

Please help me regarding ........ how to test PLC program if I have no PLC hardware (Simulation)????

[@automationdirect]

Prasad, CLICK programming software does not have a PC emulation simulator at this time. It does require Hardware to test your PLC Program. If this a feature that you require, I would advise looking into the Productivity of Do-more PLCs they do support this feature. Here are links to these product lines.

Hi, Just want to know how can I use s-curve w/ jerk on Click PLC. Can you provide tutorial also. Thank you.

[@automationdirect]

Edmund, there is not a direct function for S-curve with jerk in CLICK. I would advise contacting TECH Support for more information 1-800-633-0405

Hi whether the PLC model CO-10ARE-D can communicate with advanced HMI via Modbus TCP?

[@automationdirect]

Angadh, yes the CLICK PLC C0-10ARE-D does support Modbus TCP. This should work.

[@angadhlambert9437]

@@automationdirect Thank you for the reply, could you please advise how can I take a timer TT mode input as in the rslogix

[@automationdirect]

Angadh, thanks for the comment. Click Timers do not have a Timer timing bit like in Rockwell, so if I need one I just create it using a C bit. For example, Let's say X1 is enabling my timer. I will then create a rung after the timer that will take X1 to C1. Now C1 is my timer timing bit. Thanks

thanks for this very informative and free plc training, how much is the plc unit for overhead crane control systems to replace our existing sequential relaying systems. functions like main hoist, aux hoist, trolley and bridge travel control systems plus ON/OFF for main contactor, horn, anti collision bypass. thanks
