Robust PLC Data Logger   With traditional loggers, the software will read the memory of the PLC and store it in a local computer. If the network stops or PLC communication fails, the logging will stop. Creating a robust PLC data logger allows communication to be stopped without losing any of the data for collection. … Read more

… and I also do PLC programming.

Here’s a Quick Way to Connect RS232 Equipment

by

Most programmable controllers will come with an RS232 communication port. This recommended standard (RS) has voltage signals between 3 to 15 volts DC concerning the ground/common pin. RS232 devices are called DTE (data terminal equipment) or DCE (data communication equipment). The maximum cable length for the communication cable is 15m; however, depending on the environment, … Read more
