AutomationDirect C0-01DR-D Programmable Controller

AutomationDirect’s C0-01DR-D is a CLICK PLC (Stackable Micro Brick) that combines 8 DC inputs with 6 SPST relay outputs in a compact, easy‑to‑wire controller, ideal for small automation tasks where quick setup and simple programming are priorities. It runs from a 24 VDC supply (21.6–26.4 VDC) and draws about 140 mA, with 8 inputs configurable as sink/source and ON thresholds above 19 VDC (OFF below ~4 VDC). The six relay outputs support 6–27 VDC or 6–240 VAC loads, up to 1 A per point, with C3 common rated at 4 A and C4 common at 2 A. Power, RUN, and ERR indicators on the logic side provide at-a-glance status. For communications, the module provides Port1 (TX1/RX1), Port2 (TX2/RX2), and Port3 RS-485, enabling simple serial networking alongside I/O. Outputs are labeled Y1–Y6, and inputs are X1–X8, with wiring diagrams showing how the I/O relates to power and run/err indicators for straightforward troubleshooting. As part of AutomationDirect’s CLICK line, the C0-01DR-D is designed to mount as a stackable brick in small control panels and to pair with other C0-series modules to scale I/O without a full rack, making it suitable for applications such as sensor interfacing, limit switches, basic sequencing, and compact machine control in packaging, manufacturing, and light automation environments.
