Productivity 2000 PLC Node-RED Modbus TCP

Productivity 2000 PLC Node-RED Modbus TCP

We will now look at communication between the Productivity 2000 PLC (Modbus TCP Server) and Node-RED (Modbus TCP Client). Node-RED is a powerful, adaptable HMI/SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) development package that uses flow programming. Minimal coding is required; you can see the program flow visually. The best thing is that the software is … Read more

XY-MD02 Sensor Setting – Modbus RTU Network

XY-MD02 Sensor Setting - Modbus RTU Network

The XY-MD02 temperature and humidity sensor uses Modbus RTU for communication. Modbus RTU (serial) works as a master (client) to slave (server) communication protocol. To add this sensor to an existing network as another unit number, you must set it up first. We will be using the Simply Modbus Master software in demo mode to … Read more

Integrating XY-MD02 Sensor Modbus RTU Click PLC

Integrating an XY-MD02 Sensor with Modbus RTU into Click PLC

Using Modbus RTU (RS485), we will connect the XY-MD02 Temperature and Humidity Sensor to the Click PLC. The Click will be the Client (Master), and the Sensor will be the Server (Slave). This is an ideal sensor to place in a panel to ensure that the panel is within a working temperature and humidity range. … Read more

Productivity 2000 Series PLC Modbus RTU Serial Communication

The Productivity 2000 series of PLCs has five built-in communication ports for easy connectivity to your PC or various industrial networks. Serial protocols like Modbus RTU can be utilized with the RS232 or RS485 ports on this PLC. Modbus RTU (Serial) is an open (published) protocol that uses the Master / Slave architecture. It’s a … Read more

Easy Steps to Establish Communication Arduino Opta IoT PLC

Easy Steps to Establish Communication between Arduino Opta IoT PLC

We will now establish communication between the Arduino Opta IoT PLC and our computer. Every Opta IoT PLC comes with the ability to be programmed using the professional series Arduino PLC IDE. (Arduino PRO) This is designed to implement industrial machine control functions and programming, including ladder logic. The Opta hardware is also designed to … Read more

Click to Click PLC Communication – Remote IO

Click to Click PLC Communication

We will connect two Click PLUS PLCs and communicate in three different ways. Using the send and receive commands, we will set up one PLC to be the master (client) and communicate with the slave (server). WiFi, Ethernet, and Serial communication will share common memory areas between the Click PLCs. The send and receive commands … Read more
