ACC Automation 2020 Yearly Review
What a difference a year makes! Social distancing, mask-wearing, hygiene, social circles, etc are just a few of the terms we hear every day in this Covid-19 world. Video conferencing with Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet are the norm in business today. Information is knowledge, and everyone wants to be able to see, control, and summarize production data on a regular basis. Technologies are merging and communicating like never before. What was impossible is now possible for the industrial plant floor. We are looking forward to the New Year and new possibilities for implementing your control solution.

Each year we like to take a few minutes and reflect on the past, current, and future of ACC Automation. You have helped us to build the site that you see today through questions, comments, and suggestions. Thank you. Keep on Reading!

Stride MQTT Gateway to Adafruit IO

Leave a comment

MQTT protocol is used for machine to machine (M2M), internet of things (IoT) communication. This publish/subscribe messaging is used where limited device resources are available or network bandwidth is low. The MQTT protocol provides small size, low power usage, minimized data packets, and efficient distribution of information to one or many receivers.
MQTT Communications - Overview
The Stride MQTT Gateway is an industrial 4.0 hardware component (IIoT – Industrial Internet of Things) that provides isolation and can easily interface with existing Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP communication protocols.
Stride MQTT Gateway to Adafruit IO
We will again be connecting a Stride MQTT Gateway to a Solo process temperature controller with Modbus RTU(RS485). The MQTT Gateway will communicate to the Adafruit IO Broker. The broker can display, log, and allow us to control the data. This is done in an easily configured interface. Let’s get started. Continue Reading!

Stride MQTT Gateway Click PLC Modbus RTU TCP
We will be connecting a Stride MQTT Gateway to a Click PLC (Ethernet) via Modbus TCP. Previously we connected the Solo process temperature controller with Modbus RTU(RS485). We will leave this connection in place and add the Click PLC. The MQTT Gateway will communicate with HiveMQ Broker. MQTTBox Client will then read and write to the Click PLC and Solo process temperature controller. Let’s get started. Continue Reading!

We will be connecting a Stride MQTT Gateway to a Solo process temperature controller via Modbus RTU. (RS485) The MQTT Gateway will communicate to a Mosquitto Broker. Google MQTTLens (MQTT Client) will then read and write to the Solo process temperature controller. Let’s get started. Continue Reading!

BRX Do-More PLC MQTT Communications

Leave a comment

MQTT stands for Message Queuing Telemetry Transport. This simple publish and subscribe communication protocol does not take too many resources.
Constrained devices with low bandwidth are ideal for MQTT. This protocol provides machine to machine (M2M) connectivity which is ideal for the Internet of Things. (IoT) This protocol is not for remote IO or real-time (deterministic) applications. MQTT is a good solution for applications that move data from hundreds or thousands of machines (sensors) to clients in many networks.
BRX Do-More PLC MQTT Communications
We will be installing a windows based broker called Mosquitto. The Do-More BRX PLC will be one of the clients publishing and subscribing to the MQTT broker. MQTT Lens (Chrome Browser App) will be the other client publishing and subscribing to the MQTT broker. Each client will share information. Let’s get started. Continue Reading!
