AutomationDirect added specialty modules for its Click PLC family. Click Plus CPUs offer the utmost versatility with up to two option slots for custom I/O configurations. Option slots allow for specialty modules, including the C2-DCM serial communication module and the new C2-NRED and C2-OPC UA modules. The C2-NRED module provides an industrial interface to the open-source software tool for developing IIoT applications, Node-RED. With low-code Node-RED programming, you can easily facilitate interactions between the Click Plus CPU and upper-level IT/business systems. OPC UA (Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture) communication protocol provides a standard way for industrial systems, regardless of manufacturer, to communicate and share data.
