I'm ordering my first CLICK PLC. I would like to see more examples (text and video) or programming.

AutomationDirect has done an excellent job explaining PLC basics (what is PLC, how to choose one, how to wire it, how to connect, how to transfer projects, etc.).

I hope to see a multi step (15-100 rungs) programming and either have it heavily commented, or have a video about it.

I understand that you can't cover every scenario, but perhaps something simple like sprinkler controller that would:

- run during certain days

- start at specific times

- run for specific duration

- or stop at certain time

- only execute if temperature is few degrees above freezing (only on/off input from 3rd party or analog device)

- only execute if wind is below certain speed (only on/off input from 3rd party or analog device)

- 3 or 4 zones, each one running successively after pervious one (not at same time)

- each zone has it's own duration

- System has an override switch not to run for a period of time; perhaps rest of day (backyard party/event or landscaping maintenance)

Or something along the lines of pool controller with pressure sensor (filter needs cleaning), few relay driven valves (diverts water to slide, waterfall, etc.).

Perhaps a logic to divert water from main bottom drain to skimmer, etc.

The intent is to see something that we can all relate to that's easy to comprehend and gives a multiline dive into the CLICK programming world.

Give this a look.

I tried to accommodate your wishes. I hope the Click you purchased included the clock/calendar, as this project uses their special registers to compare time of day.

Make certain you have address comments enabled; View, "check mark " next to address comments, so you will see all the descriptions in the ladder view, to better understand my thought process.

Good luck!

Wow!

Thanks Todd.

I didn't expect you to go thru the trouble to actually write a program, but I'm grateful.

Perhaps I should just hire you to write the program for the actual project I order my equipment for :-)

That is if that sort of thing is allowed here.

Todd, this is awesome.

Simple, elegant, well laid out.
