I think Click is a great example and a great product. Our goal is to give users a Do-more option from the Click level through the high end.

From the looks of this thread, I would say there is a market for the Do-more "children"... Looking forward to it... :)

So, any more news on this?  Just did two little jobs using a Click. Realizing now that PLC hardware is dirt cheap compared to engineering hours.  If you are missing a feature, the cost to engineer around it eats up any hardware savings unless you are going to build lots of them.

Ding! Ding! Ding! And yet folks will always try.

It slipped a tiny bit, but we have a launch date set in the middle of Q1. I don't want to give more detail than that. Product is looking great and we're very happy with how it is shaping up.

Yeah, it's stupid.  And then, once you do get it to work, you have a design that has no performance or feature margin for the future. Planned obsolescence for the customer and pain for the integrator.   What's not to like?
