I have the click co-00dd1-d and I just added a co-00ac power supply when I plug it in, I have a green power light and red err light. I know it is wired correctly I've double check and compared it to other videos.
Hi Rod, If this is a new Click PLC, the red error light probably indicates that you do not have a program in the controller. Try turning the switch on the CPU to STOP and cycling the power. This will probably turn off the error light. When you connect to the controller through the software, it will indicate the exact error. I hope this helps you out. Regards, Garry
To me it looks like the power supply is not directly connected to the PLC. Was this for demo purposes? I was hoping to see how this would be wired in a real situation. You would wire the black into the X and the Brown in C and the blue where would you put it? Sorry, I am new to this.
Hi Allendale, On the website, you will see the wiring diagram for both the NPN and PNP. accautomation.ca/wiring-an-inductive-proximity-npn-pnp-sensor-to-the-click-plc/ When wiring into the PLC the PLC input acts as the load on the sensor. The PLC will only have an input point and a common for the input point. If the sensor is NPN, your wiring from the PLC point of view is the brown will go to the input and the common will go to +VDC. If the sensor is PNP, your wiring from the PLC point of view is the black will go to the input and the common will go to 0VDC. See the above page for the diagram. Here is another post that may also help you out with wiring sensors. It uses a three-wire instead of the two-wire sensor. accautomation.ca/wiring-a-capacitive-proximity-npn-pnp-sensor-to-the-click-plc/ Hope this helps you out. Regards, Garry
@@ACCautomation , thanks so much for your swift response. I also looked at other videos of your! Thanks for all the work you do to clarifying things for beginners. I will give you thumbs up! :)
Really good technical video. Thank you
Thanks for the comment Michael.

What would be cool is set up a demo on how to connect a click PLC to the program Factory I/O using Ethernet but good video
Thanks for the comment Trell. That is a good suggestion to use the Click PLC with Factory IO. Modbus TCP communication would work well.

@@ACCautomation yes I figured out it didn't come with a back up battery so the program that was in it is no longer. Battery is on the way.thanks.
Glad you figured it out. Thanks for the update.
