And you can't beat the price! I recently used one on an extremely simple project where I needed a single analog output to be controlled by a little Red Lion G304K (gotta love Red Lion's HMIs!).I have a little Click PLC that I have found to be no less than awesome...except for that pesky lack of analog...it's surprisingly powerful, fast and has lots of memory for a tiny little PLC.
Operator selects from a large list of products. The 'recipe' associated with each product is really just a different conveyor speed.
I was looking at maybe something like remote I/O, but even A-D's inexpensive 'Terminator' stuff would have been well over $500. Then I realized that a $130 Click would work fine, and it did! I just send the recipe's value over Modbus to the Click to change the analog output to a speed control... Done!..
