Practical Tips and Techniques
Automation Direct BRX Series PLC. This is part of the Do-More family of controllers.
We will now utilize Ethernet/IP to connect a BRX Do-More PLC as remote IO on a Productivity system. The productivity series of controllers can use explicit and implicit messaging techniques of EtherNet/IP to optimize data exchanges across the network. Explicit messaging means that the data messages that are transmitted will contain everything needed in order … Read more
We will look at the BRX Do-More FTP (File Transfer Protocol) on our PLC. Using FTPGET and FTPPUT instructions we can transfer files to an FTP server. Our BRX Do-More PLC now has the ability to be an FTP Client. This will allow us to transfer our logged files to an FTP server that we … Read more
We will now look at creating BRX Do-More dynamic web pages on our PLC web server. These pages are great for operator information display. A dynamic web page is a web page that displays different content each time it’s viewed. For example, the page may change with the time of day, the user that accesses … Read more
We will now look at the BRX Do-More PLC Web Server. Ethernet equipped BRX CPUs and the Do-More Designer Simulator can now have a web server. This can be accessed by any web browser using the IP address of the BRX Do-More CPU. A web server is server software or hardware dedicated to running this … Read more
The BRX Do-More PLC Peerlink Ethernet communication network is one of the easiest networks to set up and run. Peerlink is a shared programmable logic controller (PLC) common memory area within a local network. Do-More central processing units (CPUs) or DirectLogic PLC systems using ECOM100 modules can read the entire area and write to their … Read more
Do-more plc modbus ascii protocol will be used to communicate to a Solo process temperature controller. A sample program will explain in detail how this is accomplished through a serial port. Modbus is a communication method used for transmitting information over serial lines between electronic devices. The device requesting the information is called the Modbus … Read more
