Previously we put our first program (Video) into the C-More Micro HMI Panel using the C-More Micro programming software. The Do-More Designer Simulator was used with a modified Start Stop Jog Circuit so we can use our HMI screen to control the output as well as the inputs on the PLC. This communication was done via Ethernet with the Modbus TCP protocol.
We will now look at PLC to Panel and Panel to PLC communications. This will allow us to control the screen page number, beeper, and backlight of the panel from the PLC. We will also get notifications of the same as well as key press information from the HMI panel. Let’s get started.
More information can be obtained on our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video.
