CLICK PLUS Provisioning vs MQTT

The CLICK PLUS Provisioning App is used to configure the AutomationDirect CLICK PLUS C2-02CPU and C2-03CPU controllers with Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. A Factory new CLICK PLUS has Bluetooth enabled by default which is used to allow the App to connect and quickly configure the needed Wi-Fi settings. Provisioning is usually done once and involves the process of preparing and equipping the CLICK PLUS PLC network settings to allow a wireless connection from the Click Programming Software until a project with permanent settings can be loaded. This removes the need for network cables and the headaches involved with new cable runs. Not only do select CLICK PLUS CPUs provide Wi- Fi capability, but with Bluetooth provisioning your system/machine will be on the wireless network and communicating in minutes!

The app has a control range with the ability to control between zero and five lights and doors, depending on the use case. By means of a red-green indicator, the user is shown the connection status of the server. In the settings area of the app the server connection details can be entered. Depending on the use case, the controls for the lights or doors can be switched on and off. For the individual lights and doors, the corresponding theme as well as the message can be set. In addition, further settings for the transmission can be selected.
