We will demonstrate pallet management logic on the Do-More PLC Simulator and EasyPLC. EasyPLC software suite includes a machine simulator named Machine Simulator (MS). It has a variety of machines that can be programmed and customized. One of these machines is the pallet management machine, which utilizes four conveyor belts, three photocells, and two stops. The virtual machine will be programmed using the Do-More Designer PLC Simulator. We will use the Do-More Designer PLC software to establish communication between the simulator and the pallet management machine and connect them via Modbus TCP (Ethernet). This will enable seamless communication and data exchange between the two systems.
To demonstrate the programming of the virtual machine, we will follow the five steps for program development. These steps provide a structured approach to ensure the efficient and effective development of the ladder logic program. By following these steps, we can ensure that the program meets the specifications and functions as intended. Now, let's dive into the first step of the program development process. This step involves defining the task of our pallet management. By clearly defining the task, we can establish the objectives and requirements that the program needs to fulfill. This will serve as the foundation for the subsequent steps in the development process.
