 Programmable Logic Controller replacement for  OEM embedded controls
It's the size of a credit card and priced like loose change, yet this little marvel packs a real punch. 16 industrial strength digital I/O points, 2 analog inputs, a whopping 25K of program memory, floating point, high speed counting and more. The CC18 is the world's most affordable electronic controller in applications that require digital and analog I/O in a ready to wire in format.

OEM boards

The OEM suffixed versions are intended for quantity buyers who have already developed their SPLat application.

CC18OEM

This is the bare CC18 board, for OEM use. The most economical way ever of buying an expandable off-the-shelf controller with 16 digital I/Os and analog inputs. Matching I/O connectors are included. If you need the CD we recommend the Developer's Kit.

This is a complete CC18 Developer's Kit. It contains the CC18 controller board, all matching I/O connectors and all our programming software, tutorials and other file resources on CD. It also contains a PC232 programming cable/adaptor. You need at least one PC232 to program the CC18. This is the same cable as used with the MS12x controller.

Accessories specific to CC18/CC16

The CC16 was the predecessor of the CC18. The accessories are still named after CC16 for historical reasons and are compatible with both models.

CC16BB

This Breakout Board is designed specially to simplify the development process using the CC18. It provides convenient screw terminal connections for power and all digital I/O, plus indicator LEDs to monitor outputs and DIP switches for activating inputs. With the CC16BB you can get your program 90% tested without ever having to connect it to any external devices. Ships with the mounting hardware pictured, which acts as feet for the combined assembly to sit on your work bench. The CC16BB can be unplugged from the CC16 without undoing any screws. Note this does not connect the CC18 analog inputs. Documentation.

CC16TB

The CC16 Terminal Board is designed for production use where it is more convenient to have screw terminals than the regular crimped friction lock connectors used on the CC18 itself. It provides convenient screw terminal connections for power and all digital I/O, plus a pair of secondary power terminals that have reverse polarity protection for anything connected "downstream". Comes with mounting hardware to hold the two boards permanently together, including threaded metal standoffs for fixing the combined assembly to a base plate (as pictured). Note this does not connect the CC18 analog inputs. Documentation.

TL485 - RS485 adaptor for serial communications

The TL485 is an RS485 adaptor designed specifically for the CC18/16's communication (programming) port. This port is not RS232, but CMOS/TTL levels. The TL485 converts it to 2-wire (half duplex) RS485. A special feature of the TL485 is that it provides automatic switching between transmit and received modes, by sensing when the CC16 starts transmitting. With this you can have up to 32 separate devices exchanging ModBus data at 9600BPS. Documentation.

X485 - RS485 adaptor for Xwire

This adaptor sits piggy back on the CC family controller and converts its Xwire port to an RS485 interface. Xwire protocol over RS485 will allow cable runs of up to 1km (with suitable cable and grounding precautions) and up to 32 devices.
Note: This is specific to CC controllers. For the same function for other controllers see XP485 on the general accessories page.
