PLC OVERVIEW

The CLICK PLC family
The CLICK PLC family offers extreme value for everyday applications. The compact size and easy programming make CLICK/CLICK PLUS great for small applications and beginner projects.
Simple control:
- PLC units with built-in I/O or customizable CPU I/O option slot(s), plus stackable I/O modules
- Perfect for small systems
- Ethernet, serial communication
- Enhanced security, Wi-Fi and MQTT communication, and data logging (CLICK PLUS only)
- High-speed counter/timer support
- 3-axis PTO/PWM motion control (CLICK PLUS only)
- Simplified PID (CLICK Ethernet/CLICK PLUS CPUs only)

The Do-more PLC family
The Do-more PLC family is determined to get it done. This programming powerhouse has one of the most advanced instruction sets in the market and many other features that allow it to stand strong against any challenge.
Advanced Control:
- PLC units with built-in I/O and communications, plus stackable I/O modules
- Discrete and built-in high-speed I/O
- Analog with robust PID control
- Universal (all-in-one) analog and temperature I/O modules
- PWM outputs
- Coordinated motion control using on-board or expansion I/O modules and advanced motion instructions
- Ethernet, serial, USB and custom communications ports
- Internal RAM and external MicroSD data logging
- Project simulator
- Integrated security
- Rack-based systems also available
- Seamless integration with high-level IT systems and IIoT/cloud platforms using MQTT(S), HTTP(S), FTP protocols and Rest API capability (BRX only)

The Productivity Series PLCs
The Productivity family of PLCs is our most versatile family. In terms of hardware, Productivity offers three distinct form factors with two being rack-based and one being stackable. Each series offers different I/O capacities but all use the same programming software, allowing you to easily scale your control up or down depending on the application or machine build. The ProductivitySuite software provides versatile programming with tag name addressing that has no predefined memory structure, and offers convenient device integration for easy plug-and-play operation with our PS-AMC motion controllers, GS drives, Protos X field I/O, and StrideLinx VPNs.
The ProductivityCODESYS PLC system utilizes the same reliable hardware as the Productivity2000 PLC series but employs a CODESYS runtime application in the processing unit. This series is ideal for those who prefer CODESYS programming but need low-cost hardware in order to implement it.
Advanced Control:
- Rack-based systems with pluggable CPU and I/O modules, or stackable form factor available
- Tag name based programming with 50MB user memory
- Numerous built-in communication options including Ethernet, serial, USB, remote and local expansion
- Support for EtherNet/IP (implicit and explicit) with convenient EDS library
- MQTT capability for cloud networking connections
- Web server and mobile access
- OLED/LCD module data displays (P2000/P3000)
- Integrated motion controller, GS drive, StrideLinx VPN and Protos X field I/O support
- External microSD data logging
- Scalable platforms from 128 to over 59K I/O points with analog, discrete, pulse width modulation, and high-speed options
- ABS certified for marine applications (P2000/P3000)
- Project simulator
- Easy-to-use coordinated motion control with the PS-AMC motion controllers and built-in motion instructions
