Part 1: Welcome

AutomationDirect.com would like to thank you for using the CLICK PLC Programming Software. We have included many powerful and exciting features in the software; however, we know that our customers sometimes have great ideas for features. Please feel free to give us input on the CLICK PLC product line and you may even request features that you feel would improve the software for your application.


Part 2: Getting Started

See the CLICK PLC Programming Software Installation Manual for help with installing the software on your PC. Also see the CLICK PLC Hardware User Manual. The chapter 1 of the Hardware User Manual features a step-by-step instruction for the first time CLICK PLC users.


Part 3: What's New?

Apr/21/2017 - Version 2.10

- Supported Windows 10.
- Supported the re-designed Analog CPU modules (Part #: C0-02*). The Analog CPU modules with the following serial numbers must use firmware V2.10 or higher.
	C0-02DD1-D:  171208001 or later
	C0-02DD2-D:  174018001 or later
	C0-02DR-D:  173158001 or later
- Improved the firmware update in the Ethernet CPU module. The Ethernet CPU module will keep the IP addresses after completing the firmware update. 
- Changed the TXT Addresses to be retentive with all of the CPU modules. An Initial Value can be assigned to each TXT address also.
- Fixed a Math instruction problem.  If a constant was assigned to a Math instruction instead of a formula, the Math instruction might write a wrong value into the memory address assigned to store the Result.
- Fixed the problem that the CLICK software displayed 'Error (-6): Memory erase error' during the project download in some cases.
- Fixed the problem that the CLICK PLC didn't execute interrupt programs at all after editing the interrupt setup in some cases.

Dec/3/2015 - Version 2.00

- Supported the new Ethernet Basic and Standard CPU modules. (8 part numbers in total)
- Supported the bumpless RUN time edit with the new Ethernet CPU modules.
- Supported the date and time change without using the CLICK software. (See the help topic CL194 'How to Change Date and Time without using CLICK Programming Software' for details.)
- Added the View I/O MODBUS Addresses button to the System Configuration window. By clicking this button, the new I/O MODBUS Addresses window is opened and you can check the MODBUS addresses assigned to the discrete and analog I/Os. 
- Modified the Connect to PLC window to support the Ethernet connection.
- Modified the Receive and Send instructions to support the built-in Ethernet port (Port 1) on the new Ethernet CPU modules.
- Modified the CLICK Project Loader to support the new Ethernet CPU modules.
- From Ver. 2.00, each version of the CLICK Programming Software will be installed in a new folder. This means you can keep different versions of the CLICK Programming Software on a PC.

Jun/12/2013 - Version 1.40

- Supported new analog I/O modules.
- Supported new discrete combo I/O modules.
- Supported new System Monitor window.
- Improved the System Configuration window to display the DF addresses assigned to analog I/O points.
- Fixed the problem that only 6 paper sizes were available in the Print window.

Nov/02/2011 - Version 1.33

- This version includes new CPU firmware V1.33. It fixed a bug that Analog CPU modules read a wrong analog input value occasionally. The CPU firmware V1.30 and V1.31 had this bug.

Aug/23/2011 - Version 1.32

- Fixed the problem that the CLICK Programming Software tried to include old firmware V1.30 into the CLICK Loader file instead of the correct firmware V1.31 when the CLICK Loader file was exported.

- This version includes new CPU firmware V1.31 that fixed some major bugs found in firmware V1.30.

May/6/2011 - Version 1.30

- Improved the Send instruction (ASCII) by supporting the NULL code as an embedded ASCII character.
- Modified the Receive/Send instructions and their setup windows no longer display the setup parameters that are not supported by the selected protocol. 
- Fixed the problem that unnecessary warning messages were displayed even if the analog I/O setup was correct.

Dec/16/2010 - Version 1.21

- Improved Find, now supports searching by Instruction type.
- Improved Address Picker, now opens at address used in the current instruction.
- Improved Error flag (Port2=SC101, Port3=SC103) now shown in Receive instruction of ASCII mode.
- Fixed the problem that Cross Reference only shows start and end addresses used in Math instruction (SUM operation).
- Fixed the problem that Cross Reference does not show DF addresses assigned to Analog I/O.
- Fixed the problem that Math instruction sometimes does not work correctly with constant values.
- Fixed the problem that CPU Built-in I/O Setup shows unclear error message when deselecting "Continuous Address".

Nov/17/2010 - Version 1.20

- Supported new Standard CPU modules.
- Supported new 24VAC/DC input modules.
