The Machine Simulator (MS) is part of the EasyPLC software suite. It has many built-in machines, like the palletizing conveyor machine, that show different programming techniques. The palletizing conveyor example is one of these machines, and we will use the Click PLC programming software. This will demonstrate a sequencer example. In this case, a box is placed upon a skid. The logic will step through various steps to perform the task. A counter will control these steps. This is one of the easiest fundamental ways all PLCs can be programmed for a sequence.
We will use the free Click programming software and a Click PLUS PLC to program this EasyPLC palletizing machine simulator palletizing conveyor. Communication will be done using Modbus TCP (Ethernet). The program sequencer allows for quick and easy control of the automation system. Using the five steps for program development, we will show how this sequencer is programmed. Let's get started.
