PLCs

Affordable PLC controllers for any application

We strive to provide an affordable solution for anyone who needs practical control systems. From simple machines to complex operations, we have the low-cost controller to match your specs and your budget. Need help choosing the right controller for the job? Get in touch with our friendly technical staff!

SIMPLE CONTROL- CLICK PLCs and CLICK PLUS PLCs give you simple, affordable control. Perfect for beginner projects. The new CLICK PLUS series offer IIoT/MQTT protocols with the low learning curve that many favour with the CLICK range.

ADVANCED CONTROL- Do-more PLCs The Do-more software driven PLCs offer extreme value and include the DirectLogic series and BRX series of controller options. For IIoT geared applications, the BRX series offers some of the most advanced features on the market and is now Microsoft Azure Certified. (Fixed Memory Addressing)

ADVANCED CONTROL- PRODUCTIVITY PLC series offer 3 levels of expansive, built-in communication with a slim, space saving design. All 3 Productivity families use the same tag-name based software and offer EtherNet/IP, Modbus RTU/TCP protocols.

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
