This simplicity makes CLICK a perfect solution for small machines, home automation projects, pneumatic applications or anywhere a simple system needs a budget-saving control solution.
Building on the original CLICK s simple design, the new CLICK PLUS PLCs offer the same practical control but with some surprising bells and whistles. Using the same FREE, streamlined PLC programming software as its predecessor, the CLICK PLUS PLCs provide no-headache programming combined with advanced capabilities like Wi-Fi communication and data logging.
