  1. Hello, I was wondering if it would be possible to get a click PLC to communicate with a Fanuc robot over ethernet/IP when the robot has the ethernet/IP adapter package.  I am a little new to this, but I am worried that I might have to have a scanner / master in order to be able to communicate over ethernet/IP.  Thanks in advance for the assistance. 
  2. Hello all,   I am working on a batch computer for a concrete mixer, and the computer that was running the plant before has stopped functioning. It was an old PC running MS DOS. The code is encrypted and replacing it is not a cost effective option.   I therefore am looking into using a PLC to control this batch plant. I have a setup that was in progress by another employee who no longer works for us, it is a CLICK PLC from Automation Direct, and it is supposed to be paired with a EA9 T8CL touch screen HMI from the same company. I would like some advice on just some basics, I would greatly appreciate some input.   I essentially only have one input, and that is an analog scale, 0-20mA input. I have digital outputs for sand, gravel, cement powder, and a water meter for adding water to the mixture. I have one final output, an additive for reducing the required water in the concrete.   What I would like to create is a program that when it is told to start, looks at the scale, and if the scale is less than say 100 pounds, opens sand until it hits 1700 pounds (as an example), then turns it off. Then it turns on the gravel and adds that for another 1700 (again for example, all these are variable), turning the gravel off after. Next the cement, and so on. I don’t need someone to write the program for me, but can someone point me in the right direction on using an analog input to turn digital outputs on and off? Again, your help would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks for taking the time to read this long post.
  3. I am just getting back into PLC programming after quite a few years and I have a project that I need to incorporate a badge scanner (smart card reader) with a Click PLC. I am using a C2-03CPU from automation direct with a HID Omnikey  5025CL, but I am unsure of how the interface should look in the ladder logic any help would be greatly appreciated 
  4. C0-10DRE-D

    Hi,  I have a very small offline application I was considering, mostly because of the price tag and wanting to try out an AD PLC, using the C0-10DRE-D PLC. I called AD and asked some questions to make sure it was industrially suited, but I was hoping to get some insight from someone who has maybe used one. My basic questions are have you ever had any issues with maximum input currents into the AD PLC? Like If I am using an inductive proximity sensor that can send out up to 50mA are most of the AD PLC's equipped to handle these values? Do they hold up over time, and has anyone had one installed for a few years to provide any feedback on the good and the bad?  Also, I would probably be using a 24 VDC coil to drive a 120VAC pump. I saw on AD website they have some relatively cheap socket relays for the relay and socket combined in the like 8$ range. Anyone have experience with these? The contacts are plenty high enough ratings on voltage and current for my application, just was curious how they hold up, if anyone knows. If any of these questions are inappropriate for this forum, I apologize, I am new here! Thanks in advance!
  5. Has anyone interfaced an SR1000 (or similar keyence barcode reader) with a (Automation Direct) Click PLC?  I am looking to read/write rs232 so I can get the string back from the barcode reader, instead of actually teaching it or using banking (banking is a bit cumbersome with the keyence, plus it'd take me a long time to actually get the labels I need to teach the camera all).  I had started messing around with the application, but I have no way of seeing if the camera or plc is actually reading/writing the data.    Data is all ascii.   Thanks,
  6. Hello guys, hope you are well. I have with me KOYO PLC C0-02DD1-D. I have programmed it successfully. However, I do have a challenge with it's digital outputs. I expect a voltage of 24Vdc from the outputs but I am instead getting a voltage of 12Vdc. Even the 12Vdc I measure at the outputs looks fake voltage because whein I use it to energize 12Vdc relays, they don't get energized. I appreciate your help. Thank you very much.

    Here is a sample video with a Click PLC. Mainly purchased this because the Click PLC offered RS-485 for some LED signs that I needed to communicate with. Really nice, easy project. My first Click PLC. Free software and super easy to use.
