Wi-Fi Capable
Installing a new system or machine at a job site can be a painstaking process and just running cable to the new install can be an arduous task. I don't think anyone looks forward to bending and installing long conduit runs overhead, or worse, underground. Going wireless allows you to bypass new cabling issues and CLICK PLUS can help you get there easily. The CLICK PLUS C2-02CPU and C2-03CPU controllers have Bluetooth enabled by default and allow the CLICK PLUS Provisioning App to connect and quickly configure the needed Wi-Fi settings. Provisioning is usually done once and involves the process of preparing and equipping the CLICK PLUS PLC network settings to allow a temporary connection to the user's network. This removes the need for network cables and the headaches involved with new cable runs. Not only do select CLICK PLUS CPUs provide Wi-Fi capability, but with Bluetooth provisioning your system/machine will be on the wireless network and communicating in less than 30 seconds!
4 simple steps and you're all set! Now you can start up your system ahead of schedule, do some extra code verification, move on to another project or head to the break room, either way you've got time to spare with CLICK PLUS.

Motion this easy and affordable is soooo sweet!
CLICK PLUS is designed to make difficult tasks a cinch and every new feature must adhere to this design principle. Adding motion control to the CLICK PLUS PLC meant that it had to be simple to configure and program. First, we created an easy-to-use interface for configuring high-speed I/O. Using this interface, it only takes three steps to turn a CLICK PLUS PLC into a 3-axis motion controller:
1) From the High-speed Configuration GUI, select your high-speed input and/or output modes.
2) If your mode selection in Step 1 has more than one option (ex: up, down, up and down, and quadrature options for high-speed counters), choose which option you need and assign the number of axis required.
3) Assign your attributes to the selected mode. This includes settings like maximum velocity, pulse output address, and filtering parameters (if enabled). Once you have those set, you are ready to program.
3-Axis PTO/PWM Motion Controller
Starting at only $97.00 (C2-01CPU) + $58.00 (C2-14D1)
The FREE CLICK PLUS programming software provides three motion instructions for building your profiles. Velocity Move, Position Move and Home instructions cover a majority of simple motion control applications that this controller is geared for. Each instruction has detailed information on the profile?s parameters and even provides a graphical view of the configured profile. The Position Move instruction will also allow the use of interpolation with 2 or more axis.
Output Pulse Modes
- Up to 3-axis
- Up to 3 PTO linear step/direction outputs
- Up to 3 PWM pulse width modulation outputs
Axis Profiles
- Relative/absolute positioning
- Velocity mode
- Trapezoid
- S-Curve
- Registration
- Homing
- Jogging
- Linear Mode
For easy IIoT, CLICK PLUS is a must!
The IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) has taken plant-floor data to new frontiers. But it all starts with the sensor, transducer, or I/O device that is detecting process information and the controller that is gathering this information, refining it as needed, and transmitting it for upstream analysis or to remote access platforms. While some IIoT capable systems can be quite costly and complex, CLICK PLUS provides the needed data gathering, data refining and protocols for IIoT applications but with simplicity and at a minimal cost to you.
Multiple data gathering options
CLICK PLUS offers many I/O options to choose from for your system data collection. The CPU option slot(s) and the numerous stackable I/O modules, available in analog, discrete, high-speed, relay, temperature, and combination modules, provide for many custom I/O configurations. And with Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP and EtherNet/IP protocol support, CLICK PLUS can easily gather raw data from a variety of VFDs, sensors, switches, encoders, pilot devices, or almost any other control component your system may have.
Refining data into something meaningful
The CLICK programming software makes refining raw data into a meaningful metric a cinch. From CLICK's simple scaling function for analog signals, to streamlined PID loops with easy step-by-step configurations, to the super simple instructions, CLICK will easily transform a raw process signal, like 4-20mA, into a consumption rate, an energy efficiency score, a rejection percentage, or any other metric that's vital to you.
Make your system IIoT capable for only $89!
With the explosion of Ethernet connectivity in the industrial realm and the resulting expansion of smart devices, cloud platforms and mobile networking, modern-day controllers are expected to support the protocols needed for these new technologies. The MQTT protocol has become the frontrunner for many of these machine-to-machine (M2M) and IIoT/cloud applications, due to its lightweight overhead and reduced bandwidth consumption. All of the low-cost CLICK PLUS CPUs provide MQTT communication, via Ethernet or wireless means, allowing even the simplest, most inexpensive systems to become IIoT capable.
On the PLUS side, you're more secure than ever before
With increasing concern and interest for the security of PLC's, there is a growing need to integrate security directly into the PLC itself. The CLICK PLUS offers several different security features designed to minimize PLC vulnerabilities.
1. Secure PLC Access
The CLICK PLUS PLC ships from the factory with a default username and password, however the first time a user connects to the PLC, they will be required to input a unique password or disable the PLC login password if desired. Forcing this change helps greatly reduce the chances of malicious software taking control of the PLC with easy-to-guess or publicly disclosed default login credentials.
2. Strong password support
The CLICK PLUS PLC supports strong passwords to allow for more secure PLC projects and data files. Only qualified passwords are allowed, and the software offers feedback on the strength of the password while the User account is being configured.
3. Disable PING response
Users can configure the PLC Ethernet RJ45 and Wi-Fi network ports to ignore PING requests from other devices. This makes the PLC invisible to pings and thus reduces the vulnerability to deliberate denial of service (DoS) attacks.
4. Improved port management
Users can disable all non-essential RJ45, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth ports as needed to reduce the vulnerability of unauthorized access.
5. Encrypted password transfer/storage
Encryption helps to protect project sensitive passwords from being hacked while being transferred over the network or stored in the PLC.
6. Secure email with TLS
Send secure emails with the CLICK PLUS Email instruction. This instruction allows for multiple recipients and customizeable messages capable of sending dynamic data. The Email command utilizes Transport Layer Security (TLS) which is a cryptographic protocol that secures communication over a network by encrypting the connection between computers.
7. Allow List
The Allow List is used to explicitly allow certain other devices to communicate with the CLICK/CLICK PLUS CPU. This feature is supported by CLICK Ethernet (C0-1x) and CLICK PLUS (C2-x) CPUs.
8. Event Records
Logging the connection activity of the CLICK/CLICK PLUS CPU allows you to monitor for suspicious activity. Event records are stored for password attempts, Allow List rejections, and email activity (CLICK PLUS only).
9. Session-based software connections
The CLICK PLUS PLC platform utilizes session-based communication on the Wi-Fi and Ethernet ports. By using sessions, each initiated communication request must contain a unique ID. If the ID is missing, the CLICK PLUS PLC will discard the request. This allows only authorized access and helps prevent PCs from accessing the wrong PLC. Sessions will also time out if not utilized, closing the idle link between the programming software and the PLC which must be reestablished if needed.
The session ID is also used to limit the software session to only one simultaneous session at a time which removes the chances of multiple remote users making changes to the PLC project at the same time. If someone tries to log into a PLC that already has an active session, the software will notify the user that there is an existing software connection currently logged in.
CLICK PLUS turns low budget...into mo' budget!
Let's face it, there are some systems that require controllers capable of extremely complex logic operations, but there are also times when these controllers are way over advanced and way over budget for the job at hand. When you just need a simple control solution to get the job done quickly, don't pay thousands for a controller with features you'll never use. Instead, save those thousands and get a controller designed with simplicity in mind, one that's one-quarter the price of other PLCs, and one that comes with some surprising capabilities you wouldn't expect at this price range including Wi-Fi connectivity, high-speed I/O, data logging and more!
Process Control built with ease
The CLICK PLC family is the lowest cost, easiest to use PLC in the market today and now we've added to it the most user-friendly PID process control.

Startups made easier!
Most, if not all, of us have been on startups, testing the numerous inputs wired to the main PLC cabinet. This usually involves two or more people - one to flag the sensor in the field and the other to watch the input on the PLC. This can be a real headache especially when there are multiple sensors scattered all throughout the facility or if the system is located in a noisy environment where it's hard to communicate. With the CLICK Remote PLC mobile app, only one person is needed to check each input. Simply open the app, connect to the CLICK PLC, flag each sensor, and watch the input change remotely on your mobile device. With the app, input verification is so much quicker and easier!
Configure what can be seen and by whom
All of the PLC values that will be available through the app and who gets to view and edit them, are configured in the user-friendly CLICK PLC programming software. There you will find convenient dialogs for adding PLC values to the remote monitor list and for adding several users, each with their own permission levels and allowed actions.
