Practical Tips and Techniques
The Machine Simulator (MS) is part of the EasyPLC software suite. It has many built-in machines, like the palletizing machine, that show different programming techniques. The palletizing conveyor example is one of these machines, and we will use the Do-More Designer PLC programming software. This will demonstrate a sequencer example. In this case, a box … Read more
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
The Arduino Opta IoT PLC offers a hassle-free programming experience through its integrated Ethernet feature and efficient Arduino PLC IDE software. First, we’ll connect the Ethernet cable to the OPTA IoT PLC and find its IP and MAC address. After that, we’ll configure the default programming port to Modbus TCP (Ethernet) via the Arduino PLC … Read more
The sorting station box selection (camera management and distribution) is just one of many machines in the EasyPLC Machine Simulator (MS). This sorting station will read barcodes from the boxes and send them to different exit ramps. The Click programming software will be used to program this Click PLUS PLC. Modbus TCP (Ethernet) will connect … Read more
The productivity series of PLCs has a built-in web server. This web server function can make a non-secure (HTTP) connection to the CPU. This is done with your browser. You can view read-only system tags and open, save, or delete files stored on the micro SD drive. Previously we stored data-logged files on the USB … Read more
In this tutorial, you will learn how to program a chain conveyor transfer using Do-More. The EasyPLC software suite includes a Machine Simulator (MS) with pre-programmed machines, including the chain conveyor. This machine can move boxes of various sizes along the production line, transferring them to different locations. We will use the Do-More Designer PLC … Read more
