With eight input and six output points built in, CLICK Ethernet PLC units are available with 24 VDC or 120 VAC inputs and DC or relay outputs, and can be used as a complete PLC system.The Ethernet capabilities of these new CLICK units also allow for run time edits, which means edits to the ladder project can be downloaded while the CLICK PLC keeps running, an important addition to an already extremely practical PLC.
