The push button requires a force to push the button to change the electrical operation from off to on or vice versa. The … Read more

Wiring Stack Light to a Click PLC

We will now wire a stack light to the Click PLC. Stack lights are usually modular stackable components that provide a visually illuminated and audible indication for machines, systems, and processes. They are usually located on top of equipment to provide this notification to personnel in the area. Stack lights are also known as signal … Read more

C-More First Program – EA9 Series Panel HMI

We will now put our first program into the C-More EA9 HMI Panel using the C-More programming software. The Do-More Designer Simulator will be used with a modified Start Stop Jog Circuit so we can use our C-More HMI screen to monitor the output as well as control the inputs on the PLC. Communications will … Read more
