We began using the five steps to PLC programming development in part 1 for the parking cars simulator. This involved determining what must be done, looking at the inputs and outputs, and developing the sequence of operation. Automated car parking is a great way to learn PLC programming. It is easily understood how this system is to function and operates. The 3D graphics on the EasyPLC machine simulator are good for visually seeing this interaction between the PLC and the virtual machine.
We will continue programming the automated car parking and testing our program. We will be programming with the free Do-More Designer PLC software. The EasyPLC machine simulator is part of the EasyPLC Software Suite. This package is an excellent way to learn PLC programming without the worry of damaging equipment. The Easy machine simulator will communicate Modbus TCP with the Do-More Designer PLC simulator. Let's start with the second part of our parking cars simulator PLC programming.
