Click PLC AdvancedHMI Modbus Communication

We will now look at the click plc AdvancedHMI Modbus serial communication. Advanced HMI is a powerful, adaptable HMI/SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) development package that takes advantage of Visual Studio. There is no coding required and you can simply drag and drop items onto the page. The best thing is that the software is free. We will look at using AdvancedHMI with the Click PLC. Our sample Click PLC program will read the present value (PV) and the indicating lights on our Solo Process Temperature Controller. It will then write the set value (SV) to the Solo. This communication will be done using the Modbus RTU protocol over an RS485 serial port on the Click. The AdvancedHMI package will communicate Modbus TCP over Ethernet to the Click PLC. We will be able to monitor our PV and set our SV on the Solo via the AdvancedHMI window. More information can be obtained on our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video. https://accautomation.ca/click-plc-advancedhmi-communication 00:00 Click PLC AdvancedHMI Modbus Communication 00:20 What is AdvancedHMI? 02:04 Installing AdvancedHMI 02:48 AdvancedHMI Program 04:51 Click PLC / AdvancedHMI Program Run Previously we discussed: Click PLC System-Hardware. https://accautomation.ca/click-plc-system-hardware/ Click PLC Installing the Software https://accautomation.ca/click-plc-installing-the-software/ Click PLC Establish Communication https://accautomation.ca/click-plc-establish-communication/ Click PLC Numbering System and Addressing https://accautomation.ca/click-plc-numbering-system-and-addressing Click PLC Timers and Counters https://accautomation.ca/click-plc-timers-and-counters Click PLC Compare and Math Instructions https://accautomation.ca/click-plc-compare-and-math-instructions Click PLC Program Control Instructions https://accautomation.ca/click-plc-program-control-instructions Click PLC Shift Register Instruction https://accautomation.ca/click-plc-shift-register-instruction Click PLC Drum Instruction https://accautomation.ca/click-plc-drum-instruction Click PLC Send and Receive Instructions https://accautomation.ca/click-plc-send-and-receive-instructions Download the Click Programming software at the following address: https://support.automationdirect.com/products/clickplcs.html There are several reasons why we are using the Click PLC. Here are just a few. - Investment is low for the hardware and the software is free - Standalone PLC with built-in I/O - Communication ability - Ethernet Port, RS232, RS485 - support for protocols such as Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, etc. - Ability to expand the system with a variety of modules including RTD and Thermocouple inputs directly. https://www.accautomation.ca
