Reviews for Programmable Controllers

I've been using Click controllers for small projects for about 8 years, and I keep going back. They are priced incredibly well, are easy to use and just don't quit. When paired with the C-More Micro display, they are the small project, fast-deploy powerhouse.

I just had to comment on the ease of use of this family of PLCs. A customer had an obsolete system that controlled actuators on four separate pieces of machinery. The original system already had ethernet running from the control console to each of the obsolete, proprietary controllers. One of their controllers had failed. I instructed them to buy 4 Click Ethernet CPUs and some I/O modules and a C-more screen. One E-mail, a 20 minute phone conversation and two texts was all it took to talk a complete novice through building a replacement control system. From the initial call from my customer to the system being up and running was five days. And all of the work (including programming Clicks and C-More) was done by someone who had never done it before. It doesn't get easier to use than that.

For the right application, you just can't beat the Click PLC family. I have used several different versions of the CPU and have been pleased with all of them. Free software and an inexpensive programming cable and you are good to go. For a budget PLC, the instruction set is very powerful and even includes spreadsheet style math functions. These are truly impressive, easy to use little units.

This is a cheap but powerful little unit. Perfect for tiny controls project. Easy to use and the programming software is free - that is also a bonus. I can highly recommend this Click family for any small size projects. Make sure you pick the right one, as some cannot handle extended I/Os.

Good value for the array of PLCs compatible with the software. Easy to use. Great software overall. Could afford to implement more features present in the more modern DoMore Designer -- i assume both products are written by the same team, since they're so similar.

The versatility of these controllers can't be understated. The software is the biggest seller for me though. With features added lately that give you UDT-like capabilities, it's beginning to rival larger vendors. I was also pleasantly surprised with how easy the EtherNet/IP integration was. I was able to get connected to my SMC valves in under 10 minutes. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these to anyone.

I have used this model and ones similar to it in multiple applications. Modbus TCP and RTU were easy to set up, it has run reliably for almost 2 years in the field with vibration, heat, and cold. The new POM module that can be used as a Modbus TCP server and client is a great addition, but it would be nice if there was a card that could be added on to act as an ECOM as well. All in all, I have been pleasantly surprised by the capability and price of the DoMore products.

Productivity2000 Programmable Controllers, been using them since 2018, friendly controllers, on time delivery, ease of use, free PLC and HMI software, modular, DI/DO and AI/AO, PID temperature controlling up to 32 points and working good, satisfied customers.

I have found these modules to be very fussy. If the RTD cables are routed anywhere near devices that may cause noise, I have found the readings to be wildly off. Not just noisy, but erroneous by 20 to 60 degrees or more. I used the same PT100 sensors and cables with a 4-20mA signal converter and they are solid. The PLC module seems to be the issue. Maybe they are OK in an application with excessive shielding and no drives or AC loads, but I don't know.

The P2000 series of PLC is very fast, easy to program with tag based variables. It is my go to PLC for most of my projects. It offers excellent value for the money. The programming software is also excellent. Well for some rants (because nothing is perfect). 1. The modules don't lock to the base very well. They are loose. 2. The rungs have to have the same numbers of columns so sometimes the rungs are too wide unnecessary.
