In addition to two RS-232 RJ12 communication ports, the standard CPU units are equipped with one RS-485 communication port and feature real-time clock and battery backup for the internal SRAM. Sold separately, the battery allows data to be stored for up to five years. Also now available are two I/O modules with 8 and 16 points of 24 VAC/VDC (sinking/source) inputs.

WinPLC Programming Software Now Free

31-3-2010
AutomationDirect recently cut the price of the Think & Do programming software for the WinPLC processor from to free. Before this price cut, the lowest cost option for programming the WinPLC processor with Think & Do was to purchase of a Think & Do WinPLC-only programming package. Now, customers can download the Think & Do v8.04 Keyless Development Demo package for PC-based control for free. The free Demo is offered as a download only, but it includes the same development software that customers receive when they purchase the full Think & Do development package.
