CLICK Programming Software

Instructions
The easy-to-use instructions are described in the CLICK programming software online help file.
Powerful Features!
CLICK programming software has amazingly powerful features for a free software product, such as
• Address picker • Separate subroutine programs • Separate interrupt programs • Color rung comment feature • Project loader • Documentation is stored within the PLC memory

Address Picker
The Address Picker is a powerful multi-function memory table which can be used to assign nicknames, create address comments, and establish initial values for specific memory locations. It can assign specific memory locations to be retentive during power outages. The Address Picker also has powerful tools for sorting the memory table and making it easier to use.

Subroutine Programs
Subroutine programs can be created and named to isolate a body of program code that is run selectively. You can run up to 986 subroutine programs.
Interrupt Programs
Interrupt programs are created and named. The Basic and Standard CPU modules support up to 12 interrupt programs. The Analog CPU modules support up to 8 interrupt programs.

CLICK Programming Software
Color Rung Comment
Easily create and edit rung comments with colors and three text styles. Comments are stored in the PLC memory for future reference.
Project Loader
The CLICK programming software can export the CLICK project in an encrypted format. The exported file can be sent to the end user. Then the end user can download the file into the CLICK PLC with the tool called Project Loader.

NOTE: PROJECT LOADER IS A SEPARATE PROGRAM FROM THE CLICK PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE, BUT IT IS INSTALLED ON THE PC WHEN THE CLICK PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE IS INSTALLED.

Product Dimensions and Installation

It is important to understand the installation requirements for your CLICK system. Your knowledge of these requirements will help ensure that your system operates within its environmental and electrical limits.
Plan for Safety
This catalog should never be used as a replacement for the user manual.
You can purchase, download free, or view online the user manuals for these products. Manual C0-USER-M is the user manual for the CLICK PLC. This user manual contains important safety information that must be followed. The system installation should comply with all appropriate electrical codes and standards.

NOTE: THERE IS A MIMIMUM CLEARANCE REQUIREMENT OF 2 INCHES(51 MM) BETWEEN THE CLICK PLC AND THE PANEL DOOR OR ANY DEVICES MOUNTED IN THE PANEL DOOR. THE SAME CLEARANCE IS REQUIRED BETWEEN THE PLC AND ANY SIDE OF THE ENCLOSURE. A MINIMUM CLEARANCE OF 3 INCHES (76 MM) IS REQUIRED BETWEEN THE PLC AND A WIREWAY OR ANY HEAT PRODUCING DEVICE.

Mounting Orientation
CLICK PLCs must be mounted properly to ensure ample airflow for cooling purposes. It is important to follow the unit orientation requirements and to verify that the PLC’s dimensions are compatible with your application. Notice particularly the grounding requirements and the recommended cabinet clearances.

Connecting the Modules Together
CLICK CPUs, I/O modules and power supplies connect together using the extension ports that are located on the side panels of the modules (no PLC backplane/base required).
1. Remove extension port covers and slide the latch tabs forward.
2. Align the module pins and connection plug, and press the I/O module onto the right side of the CPU.
3. Slide the latch tabs backward to lock the modules together.

Systems Overview

Built-in Communications Ports
All CPUs have two built-in RS-232 communications ports. Standard and Analog CPUs also have one built-in RS-485 communications port. One RS-232 port supports the Modbus RTU protocol only and can be used as the programming port. The other ports support either Modbus RTU or ASCII protocol. Both RS-232 ports supply 5 VDC, so you can connect a monochrome C-more Micro HMI panel without an additional power supply.
LED Status Indicators
There are LED indicators located to the left of each communication port to indicate when the port is transmitting or receiving.
