Productivity 2000 Series PLC CPU Display

Productivity 2000 Series PLC CPU Display

The Productivity Series 2000 and 3000 CPUs and remote controllers have OLED/LCD displays. The data can be system errors and information or user-defined messages programmed through ladder logic. Operators, maintenance, or programmer can use this information for running conditions,  troubleshooting, or other items for the PLC system. We will be looking at the CPU OLED/LCD … Read more

EasyPLC Simulator Robotic Cell Click PLC

EasyPLC Simulator Robotic Cell Click PLC

The Machine Simulator (MS) is part of the EasyPLC software suite. It has many built-in machines that are used to show different programming techniques. The robotic cell example is one of these machines. This will demonstrate a sequencer example. In this case, an engine is lifted and placed onto a rack. The logic will step … Read more

BRX Do-More Simple Modbus Serial Communication

BRX Do-More Simple Modbus Serial Communication

The newest Do-More Designer Programming Software (2.9) version includes a Modbus I/O Scanner. This Modbus scanner will simplify Modbus RTU serial communications to any device. Communications are done independent of the PLC scan time and will have little or no ladder logic for the program. We will be communicating to a Solo process temperature controller … Read more

Productivity 2000 Series PLC Program Documentation

Productivity 2000 Series PLC Program Documentation

Previously we created our first program using the Productivity Suite Software and transferred this to our connected Productivity 2000 Series PLC. One of the most important aspects of programming the PLC is to document. This will aid you and your team in programming, troubleshooting, and modifying the automation control system. Your documentation should read like … Read more

BRX Do-More PLC High-Speed Input Pulse Catch

BRX Do-More PLC High-Speed Input Pulse Catch

The High-Speed Input Pulse Catch will set an output that can be seen by the PLC ladder logic scan in response to an input pulse. Inputs that are too fast to reliably be seen by the ladder logic scan time will be seen. The BRX Do-More series of programmable logic controllers have built-in high-speed inputs. … Read more
