Do-more Series PLCs
Do-more BRX, H2 and T1H Series PLCs are the next generation programmable controllers built on strong PLC and field I/O foundations to make control applications easier to implement.
- The BRX Series PLCs (Stackable Micro Brick) platform is a versatile Micro PLC system that combines powerful features in a compact, stand-alone footprint. The BRX platform can be used as a stand-alone controller or expanded using a wide variety of expansion modules
- The combination of Do-more H2 Series CPUs and the existing line of AutomationDirect 205 series I/O modules and base units creates an incredibly powerful micro modular PLC at a fraction of the cost of comparable controllers.
- The Do-more T1H Series PLC Module takes the modular and space-saving package of our Terminator I/O line and converts it into a stand-alone control system.
DirectLOGIC Series PLCs
DirectLOGIC series PLCs are available in fixed I/O (brick) and modular, rack-based models with a common programming platform. Most components are compatible with existing installations under the DirectLOGIC name as well as legacy private-labeled models. The DirectLOGIC controllers offer reliable, time-tested hardware with the software features needed for many industrial automation projects.
CLICK® Micro Brick PLC
The CLICK PLC family of components offers practical features in a compact yet expandable design, with super easy-to-use FREE programming software. CPU units start at just $69.00.
- CLICK now offers PID functionality, high-speed inputs, and basic, standard, analog Ethernet PLC units
- A powered CLICK CPU unit can function as a complete standalone control system with eight inputs and six outputs.
- For expansion, 24 option modules are available for configurations up to 142 I/O.
- All CLICK CPUs support 8K steps of program memory and 8K words of data memory.
- CLICK Analog CPU modules have built-in analog I/O (2-channel analog inputs and 2-channel analog outputs).
- The CLICK user-friendly programming software features 21 practical relay ladder logic and function block instructions supported by extensive online help files. The software is a free download.
Open-Source Controllers (Arduino-compatible) ... New!
The Productivity®Open platform provides all the great features of a standard Arduino plus the added power and reliability of an industrial controller. The processor circuit of the P1AM-100 CPU is designed to mimic the Arduino MKRZero microcontroller. The P1AM-100 is compatible with most available Arduino MKR format shields, and/or all of the industrially-hardened ProductivityOpen shields, and can utilize most Arduino sketch programs found on open-source websites. The industrial-grade P1AM-100
- Supports Productivity1000 input, output and specialty modules
- Supports Arduino MKR form factor shields
- UL listed CPU
- UL listed ProductivityOpen branded shields
ZIPLink Pre-Wired PAC/PLC Connection Cables & Modules
ZIPLinks cut wiring time from hours down to minutes. The ZIPLink connection system eliminates the normally tedious process of wiring programmable logic controller I/O to terminal blocks.
- Simply plug one end of a ZIPLink connection cable into a Productivity3000, DirectLOGIC or CLICK I/O module and the other end into a ZIPLink connector module. It's that easy.
- ZIPLinks use half the space, at a fraction of the total cost of terminal blocks
- ZIPLink cables and modules are available in a variety of styles to suit your needs. Some are designed exclusively for our PACs and PLCs. Others may be used with various PLC brands
- ZIPLinks are available for our most popular discrete input and output modules
