Click PLC Local Expansion or Remote I/O?

9 views Oct 8, 2022

Does the Click PLC have local expansion or remote inputs and outputs? The Click PLC can have a maximum of 8 I/O modules for each CPU. It does not have remote I/O but can be used in distributed I/O systems. Distributed I/O will not update every scan of the PLC. The Click PLC can have its own distributed I/O via the communication ports to itself or through a variety of devices like the Stride Remote I/O. It can be used as distributed I/O through Modbus TCP/ RTU, Ethernet IP, or MQTT to other systems like a BRX Do-More or Productivity Series PLCs. See the comments below for examples of these configurations.
