Practical Tips and Techniques
The Arduino Opta can be programmed with basically two different software packages. The Arduino IDE and the Arduino PLC IDE. Arduino IDE is the traditional programming package for sketches (programs). C++ is used in sketches to develop your logic. Arduino PLC IDE will transform the Arduino Opta into a micro-PLC controller. Programs can be written … Read more
Multi-conveyor feed control is a critical aspect of industrial automation that allows for the efficient and effective movement of materials from one process to another. It involves the coordination of multiple conveyors to ensure that the right amount of material is transferred at the right time to the next stage in the manufacturing process. Bottlenecks, … Read more
An array is a storage area for common data type tags. They usually have some relationship with each other and must be manipulated as a group. We can use arrays for motion control, recipe management, sequencing (indirect addressing), math, etc. The Productivity 2000 Series PLC uses arrays programmed using the Productivity Suite Software. Previously we … Read more
Arduino, the leading open-source electronics platform, has recently launched a new piece of hardware called the Arduino Opta IoT PLC. The device has been designed to enable the development of advanced industrial automation solutions, making it a game-changer in the world of IoT and Industry 4.0. In this blog post, we will look closer at … Read more
A PLC batch process system is a type of process control system that uses programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to control and automate a specific set of batch processing tasks. PLCs are industrial computers designed to monitor sensors, control actuators, and perform logic-based decisions based on pre-programmed instructions. In a batch process system, PLCs can be … Read more
