Click PLC PID using Factory IO (3D)
We will be looking at using a Click PLC PID loop controlling a tank in Factory IO. A PID (Proportional, Integral, and Derivative) control is possible with the Click PLC. A sample program was written for this PLC by Bernie Carlton in the following thread from the Automation Direct Forum. This was based on the math/process presented by Tim Wescott in his paper titled PID without a Ph.D. We will be using this sample program along with a Factory IO scene to demonstrate PID control using our Click PLC.
Here are some references on PID control:

Click PLC Analog Dusk to Dawn Program Example
A dusk to dawn sensor usually is discrete on/off of the lighting control. If we want to vary the lights to mimic more of the sunset and rise, we would use an analog output to control the lights. I was recently asked about such a program. Every day they wanted the lights to go off at 10 pm and come back on at 6 am. At 9:30 pm the lights would be on at 70% or 7volts of a 0-10V signal. In the next half hour, the program will bring the lights from 70% down to 0%. In the morning the lights will come back on within the half-hour from 0% to 70%. Poultry Farms are one place that would utilize this program.
We will be developing a program that will do this with our Click PLC. Let’s get started!

Wiring an Ultrasonic Proximity Sensor to the Click PLC
We will now look at wiring an ultrasonic proximity sensor to a Click PLC. An ultrasonic sensor (switch) is able to detect object presence without physical contact (limit switch). No physical contact means that the switch has no parts that will wear out. The life span of the sensor is increased with less maintenance. An ultrasonic sensor will use sound waves to detect objects. These sound waves are at a level that we cannot hear. Distance is measured by the time it takes to send and receive the ultrasonic wave. Objects can be measured the same no matter what the color, transparency, shininess, or lighting conditions of the application.
We will be wiring an ultrasonic sensor into the input of our Click PLC. This will include a discrete and analog input signal. The UK1F-E7-0A is an 18mm diameter sensor that has a PNP N.O./N.C. selectable output with analog output of 0 -10 VDC. The sensing distance is 200mm to 2200mm and has a one-hertz switching capacity. A 4-pin M12 quick-disconnect is available but we will be wiring in our 2m wired version. Let's get started.
More information can be obtained on our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video.

Wiring a Capacitive NPN PNP Sensor to the Click PLC
We will now look at wiring an NPN and PNP sensor to the Click PLC. A proximity sensor (switch) is able to detect object presence without physical contact like a limit switch. No physical contact means that the switch has no parts that will wear out. The life span of the sensor is increased with less maintenance. A capacitive proximity sensor will detect ferrous and non-ferrous objects. The sensor works by oscillating the charge on the plates in the sensor. When an object is placed in front of the surface, the amount of current flow is detected. (Capacitance) The dielectric of objects will determine the distance that the object can be detected.
We will be wiring a capacitive proximity switch into the input of our Click PLC. The CK1-00-2H is an 18mm diameter, NPN/PNP N.O./N.C. selectable output with a 12mm sensing distance. That means that the sensor can be wired as a positive (Sourcing) or negative (Sinking) switch. This unshielded 10 Hz switching frequency sensor also has a 4-pin M12 quick disconnect. Let's get started.

No physical contact means that the switch has no parts that will wear out. The life span of the sensor is increased with less maintenance. An inductive proximity sensor will detect ferrous metals. The sensor develops an electric field when metal (sensing object) is introduced usually killing the oscillation circuit of the sensor triggering the output.
We will be wiring an inductive proximity switch into the input of our Click PLC. The AM1-A0-4A is an extended range 12mm tubular sensor that can be wired into the PLC as a sink or source input. Let’s get started.

Wiring Push Buttons Switch to Click PLC
We will now look at wiring a click plc with selector switch and pushbuttons. A push-button (pushbutton) is a simple human interface for controlling some aspect of a machine or process. The push-button requires a force to push the button to change the electrical operation from off to on or vice versa. The condition of the output is usually momentarily. Some common everyday pushbuttons we use are keyboards keys.
A selector switch is also a mechanical device that will require a force to turn the electrical operation from off to on or vice versa. The selector switch usually locks into a position.
We will be wiring two illuminated pushbutton switches into our Click PLC. A selector switch will also be wired in. Let’s get started.

Click PLC High Speed Counter Input Frequency Measurement and High Speed Count Mode
We will now look at the Click PLC high-speed counter input. The Click PLC family has been updated, and now has the ability to use high-speed counting. This is available on all of the Ethernet units that have DC inputs. The faster processer on the Ethernet unit (3 to 10 times faster than the basic unit) allows this capability. There are seven (7) different modes of operation for the high-speed counter available so adaption to your automation solution is easy. The input can count Up, Down, Up/Down, Pulse/Direction, or Quadrature (with Z). The maximum speed on the high-speed counter inputs is 100 kHz. That is 100,000 pulses per second.
We will be looking at the different high-speed counter modes available in the click. This is all set up through a user-friendly graphical user interface. Let’s get started!

Click PLC High Speed Counter Input Filter Pulse Mode
We will now look at the Click PLC high-speed counter input. The Click PLC family has been updated, and now has the ability to use high-speed counting. This is available on all of the Ethernet units that have DC inputs. The faster processer on the Ethernet unit (3 to 10 times faster than the basic unit) allows this capability. There are seven (7) different modes of operation for the high-speed counter available so adaption to your automation solution is easy. The input can count Up, Down, Up/Down, Pulse/Direction, or Quadrature (with Z). The maximum speed on the high-speed counter inputs is 100 kHz. That is 100,000 pulses per second.

Click PLC HMI Rotary Encoder Dial Input
We will now look at the programming and wiring of a rotary encoder to the Click PLC input. Rotary encoders are modern digital devices that have taken over from the potentiometer in stereos and many other applications. This is because of their fine digital control and they can fully rotate without end stops. We can connect the rotary encoder into the PLC using just two digital inputs. This human-machine interface (HMI) has the advantage over touch screens and other methods of control into the PLC. The operator can control the rate and setpoint with the dial (rotary encoder) without looking at the control. This will allow the operator to concentrate on other tasks.
We will be connecting a rotary encoder with a dial into the Click PLC. The signals being sent from the rotary encoder will be explained. Different methods of programming this input in our PLC will be discussed. Let’s get started.
More information can be obtained on our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video.

Modbus RTU BRX Do-More Master to Click Slave PLC
Recently I was asked to demonstrate communication between a BRX PLC and Click PLC using Modbus RTU. Both PLCs are available from automation direct com. Modbus serial communication (Modbus RTU) is a standard protocol used in many automation devices. It works on a Master / Slave configuration. You can have only one master per network on Modbus RTU (Remote Terminal Unit). A maximum of 32 devices (Nodes) on the network can communicate to the master. A review of the Modbus RTU protocol (RTU frames) can be seen at the following URL.
https://www.rtaautomation.com/technologies/modbus-rtu/
Using the BRX PLC as a Master, we will be communicating to the Click PLC (Slave). Our example will read 10 registers from the Click PLC and write 10 registers from the BRX PLC. Let's get started!
More information can be obtained at our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video.

Click PLC AdvancedHMI Modbus Communication
We will now look at the click plc AdvancedHMI Modbus serial communication.
Advanced HMI is a powerful, adaptable HMI/SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) development package that takes advantage of Visual Studio. There is no coding required and you can simply drag and drop items onto the page. The best thing is that the software is free. We will look at using AdvancedHMI with the Click PLC. Our sample Click PLC program will read the present value (PV) and the indicating lights on our Solo Process Temperature Controller. It will then write the set value (SV) to the Solo. This communication will be done using the Modbus RTU protocol over an RS485 serial port on the Click. The AdvancedHMI package will communicate Modbus TCP over Ethernet to the Click PLC. We will be able to monitor our PV and set our SV on the Solo via the AdvancedHMI window.
More information can be obtained on our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video.

Click PLC Send and Receive Serial Communication Instructions
Click plc send and receive serial communication instructions that can be used to communicate to external equipment. We will be communicating serially to a temperature controller using Modbus RTU serial RS485.
Receive and Send instructions will allow you to send and receive serial data to an external device. The communication method that you setup can be ASCII or Modbus. ASCII (American Standard Communication for Information Interchange) can be used to send to devices such as a printer. Receiving ASCII can be used for connecting barcode scanners to the PLC. The barcode will be read as an ASCII string in the PLC. Modbus serial communication (Modbus RTU) is a standard protocol used in many automation devices. We will demonstrate the Send and Receive instruction by communicating Modbus to a Solo Temperature Controller. Our example will read the current process (PV) value and write the setpoint value (SV) in the controller.

Click PLC Shift Register Instruction
A lot of times when programming a PLC you need to track what has previously happened. Shift registers allow you to do just that. The Click PLC has a shift register in the instruction set. We will discuss the shift register and look at an example.
The shift register instruction will move a range of consecutive bits. This movement is controlled by the clock input bit which will trigger with each transition from off to on. The bits continually shift with the clock pulse until the end bit number. When the bit shifts past the last bit number then the bit information is lost. The data input will put a ‘1’ or a ‘0’ in the first bit of the shift register. (Note: We can also put bits on anywhere within the shift register.) Reset input will clear the shift register by putting a ‘0’ in each of the bits in the range.
More information can be obtained at our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video.
