Master PLC Sorting Station Programming in 20 Minutes!

This comprehensive tutorial teaches how to program a Click PLC sorting station from scratch! We'll take you through the step-by-step process of designing and programming a Click PLC sorting station, covering everything from setting up the PLC to writing the code. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced programmer, this method is ideal for anyone seeking to enhance their PLC programming skills. By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a solid understanding of creating a functional sorting station using a Click PLC. The Benchwork Sorting Station is just one of many machines in the Machine Simulator (MS), also known as EasyPLC. This sorting station features a camera that determines the color of the parts and directs them down one of three different ramps. Programming involves both automatic and manual modes, which are controlled by a push-button control panel. The Click programming software will be used to program this Click PLUS PLC. Modbus TCP (Ethernet) will connect the Click to the Machine Simulator (EasyPLC). Discrete inputs and outputs will be controlled from the Machine Simulator (Client) to the Click PLC (Server). We will demonstrate how this sorting station is programmed using the five-step program development process. So, let's get started and dive into industrial automation programming!
