@rinni matthews, great question. I think the CLICK PLC would be a good starting point, for the cyber security conversation, depending on what you are looking to demonstrate. The CLICK allows for password protection that can secure the PLC, the ladder logic project, and/or the data. It also allows for maintaining a log of password entry. I would advise downloading the free software and then looking over help file topic CL062, for more information. Thanks, and I hope this pointed you in the right direction.
+AutomationDirect.com The Koyo SJ units can have up to 16 PID loops and are programmed with DirectSOFT. The CLICKs are made by Koyo and you cripple them with simplified software and instruction sets. How about improving customer service by letting customers have what they're fully capable of?
+cypherf0x Thank you for your honest feedback - we really appreciate that. I will make sure to pass this suggestion along to our CLICK PLC product manager.

Hi Kinsley, We have step by step tutorials showing you how to do this. Go the the video cookbook here: www.automationdirect.com Click on the "Object Detection" chapter and then scroll down to "How to detect objects with a CLICK PLC." Then go to the VFD Chapter ("A/C Motor Drives") where you will find examples of how to talk to a drive via Modbus. Those should get you really close to what you need.
I have a question - in the PLC programming software for CLICK, how do I make a simple network input/output connection between 2 x CLICK PLC's? Watch this video (link below), it shows how it's done using Siemens LOGO!..... I would love to know how to do exactly the same thing with CLICK! :) ruclips.net/video/f6Mcw2QPc5E/видео.html
Hi RD, There isn't a specific instruction, so you have to use the generic Modbus instructions ... BUT ... there is something called "CLICK Addressing Mode" in the modbus instructions. This allows you to use the Modbus Instructions, but without having to bother with Modbus Addressing. You just send data locations (CA, DF2, etc) Look at the "Addressing Type" Drop down in the modbus dilaog box.
Are these Click Ethernet PLC better for demonstrating cybersecurity educational purposes?

Wow a much more powerful CPU, ethernet connectivity, and still no default PID instruction!
+cypherf0x Not at this time, but we are always considering new ways to improve our customer experience. Thanks!

Thanks! Did you know we have over 1000 videos just like it located here: www.automationdirect.com/videos
