A majority of the programmable logic controller (PLC) programs will include a counter instruction. The BRX Do-More series of programmable logic controllers have several different counters available for your program. There are five different basic counter instructions in the PLC. The memory area for counters (CT) includes the Counter PVs (Present Values) Counter SVs (Set Values), and the Counter Completion Flags. The default size of the counter area is CT0 – CT255. This size can change to the amount that we need for our program. Please see BRX Do-More PLC Numbering Systems and Addressing on how to change the memory configuration of the controller. https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-numbering-systems-and-addressing/ We will be looking at the counter instructions in the BRX PLC along with some programming examples. As a system integrator, this ability can prove very useful to you in the field when commissioning your automation system. When dealing with counters, we need to look at timing charts. The Secret of Using Counters is a good refresher on using timing charts. https://accautomation.ca/the-secret-of-using-counters/ Let’s get started with the BRX Do-More PLC Counters.

20K views · Oct 15, 2022 accautomation.ca
The BRX Do-More series of programmable logic controllers have built-in high speed inputs and outputs. Every CPU will have either 6 or 10 high speed inputs (HSI) available depending on the model. These inputs can be used for input frequencies from 0 to 250Khz. 250Khz represents 250000 input counts per second that can be coming from devices connected to your PLC like an encoder. Every BRX CPU unit also has 2, 4, or 8 high speed outputs (HSO) available depending on the model. The outputs can send a frequency of pulses out up to 250Khz. Due to the speed of the IO, these functions available on the BRX PLC will operate asynchronously with the PLC scan time. We will be looking at sending an output of pulses at different frequencies from our BRX PLC and inputting these back into the high speed inputs of the PLC. So our output will be wired back into our input. We will then display the frequency of the input pulses and the count. As a system integrator, this ability to send and receive high speed inputs and outputs can prove very useful to you in the field when commissioning your automation system.

We will now look at the drum instruction in our BRX Do-More Controller. Drum instructions are great tools when you have a simple sequence of events that need to occur at a set time interval or as a result of an event. They mimic an electromagnetic drum sequencer. The BRX Do-More Series PLC has a drum in the instruction set. Have you ever seen the mechanisms of a music box? Ok, so it’s a little drum with pegs that catch and flick the chimes in a particular sequence to play whatever tune is on the drum.

BRX Do-More PLC Serial Communication – Modbus RTU to Solo ...
6K views · Oct 14, 2022 accautomation.ca
We will now look at using serial Modbus RTU to communicate to a Solo process temperature controller using our BRX Do-More Controller. Serial communication instructions will allow you to send and receive serial data to an external device. The communication method that you setup can be ASCII or numeric (binary). ASCII (American Standard Communication for Information Interchange) can be used to send to devices such as a printer or display. Receiving ASCII can be used for connecting barcode scanners to the PLC. The barcode will be read as an ASCII string in the PLC. The BRX Series PLC will allow you to use instructions such as STREAMIN and STREAMOUT to send and receive data from the devices mentioned above. They are usually a one to one device and do not have a protocol. A protocol is like a language used to communicate to different devices connected together. Modbus serial communication (Modbus RTU) is a standard protocol used in many industrial automation devices. The BRX Series PLC has MRX (Modbus Network Read) and MWX (Modbus Network Write) instructions. We will demonstrate these instructions by communicating Modbus RTU to a Solo Temperature Controller. (RS485) Our example will read the current process (PV) value and write the setpoint value (SV) in the controller. Let’s get started. More information can be obtained at our website.

BRX Do-More PLC Data Logging
2K views · Oct 14, 2022 accautomation.ca
Data logging does not have to be complicated anymore. The BRX Do-More Series PLC can log your specific data up to 32 Gigabits on a Micro SD Card. It will store your data for future data analysis in a CSV (Comma Separated Value) Txt file based on time and/or event. This is all accomplished with just one instruction in the BRX Do-More PLC. Excel is just one program that you can import and analyze this CSV Txt file. Do-More Designer has a Browse PLC File Systems window that will allow you to copy, create and delete the files from the connected computer. This will save you from going to each controller, removing and copying the files on the Micro SD Card. We will be looking at the data logging instruction in the BRX Do-More Series PLC and how to retrieve and view this information. Let’s get started. More information can be obtained at our website.

We will now send email and text messages using our BRX Do-More controller. Sending email messages from the PLC sounds like an easy task. However, very few applications do this on the production floor. This is probably due to the networks involved and using authentication can be complicated. In our example, we will use a restricted Gmail SMTP server so no authentication will be required. We will walk through sending email and text messages from the PLC to Google Gmail. Once in your Gmail account, the message can be automatically forwarded to another verified email or SMS text message address. The BRX Series PLC also has this Email capability along with attaching files. Let’s get started. More information can be obtained at our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video. http://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-email-text-sms-messaging-gmail Note: Google is removing "Less Secured Apps" in the mail app. (Gmail) If you are using this to send email from your controller, you must enable 2-step verification.

BRX Do-More PLC Analog Dusk to Dawn Program
734 views · Oct 13, 2022 accautomation.ca
We will now look at a BRX Do-More PLC Analog example program. A dusk to dawn sensor usually is discrete on/off of the lighting control. If we want to vary the lights to mimic more of the sunset and rise, we would use an analog output to control the lights. I was recently asked about such a program. Every day they wanted the lights to go off at 10 pm and come back on at 6 am. At 9:30 pm the lights would be on at 70% or 7volts of a 0-10V signal. In the next half hour, the program will bring the lights from 70% down to 0%. In the morning the lights will come back on within the half-hour from 0% to 70%. Poultry Farms are one place that would utilize this program. We will be developing a program that will do this with our BRX PLC (Do-More). Let’s get started!

BRX Do-More PLC INC DEC 512 Registers for DMX512
497 views · Oct 13, 2022 accautomation.ca
We will now look at inc and dec 512 registers using the BRX Do-More PLC. This is to control DMX512 fixtures. I was recently asked the following question after posting the Analog Dust to Dawn program: " I was wondering if there's an easy way to increment and decrement a range of values. e.g. I have a range of registers (V100 ~V611) the values in each register are different. But I want to increment or decrement all the registers values by 1 at the same time. So that the ramp rate is the same. Is that possible without having to do 6 rungs of logic for each register? To elaborate a little on my use case. 512 registers were chosen because that equals one DMX universe. So my scaling factor is 0~255. 16 channels are mapped to two BX-08DA-2B modules to control 0-10 fixtures. All other channels are mapped to SERIO module to control DMX512 fixtures and other devices." We will be looking at the DMX512 protocol and how to control 512 registers at a time using our BRX PLC (Do-More). Let’s get started! More information can be obtained on our website.

We will now look at the BRX (Do-More) PLC PID with PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) output. A Proportional-Integral-Derivative algorithm is a generic Control Loop feedback formula widely used in industrial control systems. A PID algorithm attempts to correct the error between a measured process variable and the desired setpoint by calculating and then outputting a corrective action that can adjust the process accordingly and rapidly, to keep the Error to a minimum. We will be using an immersion heater in a cup of water to keep the temperature at a constant value. Using the Do-More Designer software we will perform an autotune on our PID instruction. Our immersion heater will be controlled through a relay using time proportional control from our PID output. Let’s get started. More information can be obtained on our website.

We will be looking at the BRX Do-More PID Ramp Soak Profile instruction in the PLC. The purpose of a ramp soak profile is to make gradual, controlled changes in temperature (Ramp), followed by a temperature hold (Soak) period. We will be using our Proportional-Integral-Derivative PID Instruction with PWM output that we looked at last time to apply the ramp/soak profile. Using the immersion heater in a cup of water to keep the temperature at a constant value, we will be adjusting the profile of the temperature as we increase the setpoint (Ramp) and hold that setpoint for a predetermined time. (Soak) We will then decrease that temperature back to the original setting. (Ramp) We will be modifying our existing program from our PID with the PWM Output post. Let’s get started.

BRX Do-More Simulator MQTT Publish Subscribe
2K views · Oct 13, 2022 accautomation.ca
We will now look at the Do-More Simulator MQTT protocol. MQTT stands for Message Queuing Telemetry Transport. It is a simple publish and subscribe communication protocol that does not take too many resources. Constrained devices with low bandwidth are ideal for MQTT. This protocol provides a machine to machine (M2M) connectivity which is ideal for the Internet of Things. (IoT) We will be using a free on-line public MQTT broker from HiveMQ. Messages will be published and subscribed to by two clients. The first will be an MQTT Browser Client by HiveMQ. The Do-More Designer Simulator PLC will be the second MQTT Client. Information in the form of bits and words will be published and sent to both clients. Let’s get started. More information can be obtained on our website.

This simple publish and subscribe communication protocol does not take too many resources. Constrained devices with low bandwidth are ideal for MQTT. This protocol provides machine to machine (M2M) connectivity which is ideal for the Internet of Things. (IoT) This protocol is not for remote IO or real-time (deterministic) applications. MQTT is a good solution for applications that move data from hundreds or thousands of machines (sensors) to clients in many networks. We will be installing a windows based broker called Mosquitto. The Do-More BRX PLC will be one of the clients publishing and subscribing to the MQTT broker. MQTT Lens (Chrome Browser App) will be the other client publishing and subscribing to the MQTT broker.

BRX Do-More PLC to Stride Modbus TCP Remote IO
11K views · Oct 13, 2022 accautomation.ca
The BRX Do-More PLC can use remote inputs and outputs from Stride. The Stride Field I/O Modules are simple and compact. They provide an economical means to connect inputs and outputs to an Ethernet Modbus TCP communication network. Every module operates as a standalone Modbus TCP server and can be configured via a built-in web server. Previously we looked at the Stride Field Remote IO Modules Modbus TCP Ethernet wiring and configuration. See the links below. We will be connecting two Stride remote inputs and outputs to the BRX Do-More PLC. Modbus TCP will be the protocol over Ethernet to communicate to the SIO-MB12CDR and SIO-MB04ADS units. SIO-MB12CDR - STRIDE discrete combo module, Input: 8-point, 12-24 VDC, sinking, Output: 4-point, relay, (4) Form C (SPDT) relays, 2A/point, (1) Ethernet (RJ45) port(s), Modbus TCP server. SIO-MB04ADS - STRIDE analog input module, 4-channel, current/voltage, 16-bit, isolated, input current signal range(s) of +/- 20 mA, input voltage signal range(s) of +/- 10 VDC, (1) Ethernet (RJ45) port(s), Modbus TCP server. We will be reading an analog voltage into the BRX Do-More PLC from the remote IO unit. We will then set an output to pulse on and off at a time range indicated by this analog signal. The output will be on the other remote IO unit and will trigger the input to signal. We will look at the Frequency, Count, and Status of this input. Our BRX Do-More PLC program will also take into consideration watchdog (communication time out) and power-up events for the Stride remote input and output units. Let’s get started.

BRX Do More PLC Peerlink Ethernet Communication Network
14K views · Oct 12, 2022 accautomation.ca
The BRX Do More PLC Peerlink Ethernet communication network is one of the easiest networks to set up and run. More information can be obtained on our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video. https://accautomation.ca/brx-do-more-plc-peerlink-ethernet-communication Peerlink is a shared programmable logic controller (PLC) common memory area within a local network. Do-More central processing units (CPUs) or DirectLogic PLC systems using ECOM100 modules can read the entire area and write to their programmed area if selected. The network uses TCP/IP broadcast packets to publish the blocks of data PEERLINK (PL) memory to all of the devices attached. This broadcast will share the data network to the local domain only. Each member can optionally send data to the other members of the data-sharing network by electing to "publish" one or more blocks of PEERLINK (PL) memory. This can sound confusing at first, but it is the simplest network to set up. You can have your Peerlink network up and running in a matter of minutes. We will be setting up and demonstrating the Peerlink network using a BRX BX-DM1E-18ED13 and the Do-More Simulator. Let's get started.

Productivity 1000 Series PLC BRX Do-More EtherNet/IP Remote ...
2K views · Oct 12, 2022 accautomation.ca
We will now utilize Ethernet/IP to connect a BRX Do-More PLC as remote IO on a Productivity system. The productivity series of controllers can use explicit and implicit messaging techniques of EtherNet/IP to optimize data exchanges across the network. Explicit messaging means that the data messages that are transmitted will contain everything needed in order to respond or decode the message. It is a normal client/server relationship with instructions explicitly spelled out in the data messages. This communication happens at times that the Client requests the information. Implicit messaging means the data messages are streamlined. The device is configured ahead of time to know what to do with the data. This is used for time-critical messages and it functions as a typical scanner/adapter relationship. Implicit messaging is real-time. It has the ability to copy data with minimal additional information because both ends already know exactly what each bit and byte. A BRX Do-More PLC will be set up as remote distributed inputs and outputs for our Productivity 1000 controller. Implicit Ethernet IP will be set up. The Do-More will be the Ethernet IP adapter and the Productivity will be the Ethernet IP scanner.

EasyPLC Paint Line Bit Shift - BRX Do More PLC
512 views · Oct 11, 2022 accautomation.ca
The Machine Simulator (MS) is part of the EasyPLC software suite. It has many built-in machines that are used to show different programming techniques. The paint line is one of these machines. It will use a bit shift (shift register) to track bottles along a conveyor belt. All the bottles will be detected using photocells and tracked along the conveyor. Larger (taller) bottles will be painted and then pushed into a box at different sections of the conveyor belt. A control panel will be used to start and stop the paint line and display the bottle count. The paint line machine simulator is an excellent way to learn how to program shift registers in the PLC. The BRX Do-More PLC will be used to program this virtual paint line machine. Using the BRX Do-More PLC, we will connect to the paint line machine. This will be done using Modbus TCP (Ethernet) for communications. Using the five steps for program development we will show how this is programmed. Let’s get started.

BRX Do-More PLC High-Speed Input Counter
3K views · Oct 11, 2022 accautomation.ca
The BRX Do-More series of programmable logic controllers have built-in high-speed inputs. These inputs can function in Counter, Timer, or Pulse Catch modes. Every CPU will have either 6 or 10 high-speed inputs (HSI) available depending on the model. These inputs can be used for input frequencies from 0 to 250Khz. 250Khz represents 250000 input counts per second that can be coming from devices connected to your PLC like an encoder. Due to the speed of the inputs, they function on the BRX Do-More PLC asynchronous with the PLC scan time. We will be looking at the wiring of an incremental encoder to our BRX Do-More PLC. The A, B, and Z phases will be connected. Using the high-speed input menus in the Do-More Designer programming software we will specify the counter mode of operation. We will also scale the input so we can determine the revolutions per minute (RPM) rate. This will be monitored on our data view window.

The High-Speed discrete inputs can be configured to measure the amount of time between pulses. When you want a scaled value representing a speed or rate, the high-speed input timer is a better option for pulse rates below 5 kHz. This is compared to using the high-speed input pulse counting selection. The BRX Do-More series of programmable logic controllers have built-in high-speed inputs. These inputs can function in Counter, Timer, or Pulse Catch modes. Every CPU will have either 6 or 10 high-speed inputs (HSI) available depending on the model. These inputs can be used for input frequencies from 0 to 250Khz. 250Khz represents 250000 input counts per second that can be coming from devices connected to your PLC like an encoder. Due to the speed of the inputs, they function on the BRX Do-More PLC asynchronous with the PLC scan time. We will continue looking at the high-speed inputs on our BRX Do-More PLC, by looking at the pulse timer mode. Previously we looked at the high-speed count mode of the PLC.

BRX Do-More PLC High-Speed Input Pulse Catch
3K views · Oct 10, 2022 accautomation.ca
The High-Speed Input Pulse Catch will set an output that can be seen by the PLC ladder logic scan in response to an input pulse. Inputs that are too fast to reliably be seen by the ladder logic scan time will be seen. The BRX Do-More series of programmable logic controllers have built-in high-speed inputs. These inputs can function in Counter, Timer, or Pulse Catch modes. Every CPU will have either 6 or 10 high-speed inputs (HSI) available depending on the model. These inputs can be used for input frequencies from 0 to 250Khz. 250Khz represents 250000 input counts per second that can be coming from devices connected to your PLC like an encoder. Due to the speed of the inputs, they function on the BRX Do-More PLC asynchronous with the PLC scan time. We will continue looking at the high-speed inputs on our BRX Do-More PLC, by looking at the pulse catch mode. The pulse catch mode will be set up using the Z phase of our incremental encoder. Pulses will be counted using the input directly in the ladder logic and using the pulse catch bit. Comparisons will be made between the two counts and an output will be turned on when different.

BRX Do-More PLC First Order Filter The First Order Filter (FILTER) instruction performs a continuous filtering operation on the input value. This operation applies 63.2% of the difference between the In value and the Out value to the Out value over the duration of the Time Constant. In this programming example, we are using a time constant of 1.5 seconds. We will mimic the analog input signal with noise. You will notice that the output will not jump all over. Filters are used to dampen or slow down the changes to the In value to produce a more linear Out value. Since the filter instruction uses a real output, we are using the rounding operation in the math instruction to show the nearest whole number.

504 views · Oct 8, 2022 accautomation.ca
The BRX Do-More PLC analog inputs can have up to a 16-bit resolution depending on the analog current or voltage signal. These support a wide range of analog signals. The bit resolution refers to the binary bits for the input reference. If we look at the windows programming calculator and enter the binary value of 14 bits, we will get a decimal value of 16,383. This analog voltage of 0 to 5 volts DC is converted into 16,384 equal segments. The Do-More Designer Software has a linear scaling feature built in so that you can quickly convert your analog signal to engineering units or a percentage. Using the analog signal generator, you can see that our 0 to 5 volts DC signal convert from 0 to 100.0 percent. Our ladder logic program will use the compare instruction to activate outputs based on this linearly scaled signal. Programming and examples of the BRX Do-More series can be found at this URL: https://accautomation.ca/series/brx-do-more-plc/ There are several reasons why we are using the BRX Do-More Controller. Here are just a few. – Standalone PLC with built-in I/O – Built-in Data Logging – Communication ability – Ethernet Port, RS232, RS485, USB – support for protocols such as Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, ASCII, K-sequence (DirectLOGIC users), Custom Protocols (ASCII over serial, TCP or UDP over Ethernet) – Built-in Analog input and output – Integrated motion control – High-speed counters – Powerful instruction set (Video of Instructions in software) – Ability to expand the system with a variety of modules – Part of the Do-More series of PLCs which use the same free software.

The Shift Register (SR) instruction shifts BITs through a predefined number of BIT locations. These BIT locations can be a range of BITs, single Words or double Words, or a range of Words or double Words. This instruction has three inputs. The first input is the data input. It will determine if a one or zero will be placed in the first bit when the second clock bit input transitions from off to on. The third input is the reset which will zero out all the bits in the shift register. In our EasyPLC 3D example, the shift register detects and tracts the larger bottles along the conveyor belt. When in the paint station, the bottles are painted. When the conveyor reaches the end of the conveyor, the painted bottles are ejected into a box. You can see how valuable this instruction is in our PLC.

TIMEDOUT Instruction PLC Programming The Timed Output (TIMEDOUT) instruction will turn an output ON for a predetermined time. Minimum On time is the amount of time (in milliseconds) the specified Output will be ON. This can be any constant value from 1 to 65535 or any numeric location containing a value in that range. Output is the Bit location that will turn ON for the prescribed time. This can be any writable Bit location in the PLC. If Maintain Output is unchecked, the specified Output will turn OFF as soon as the Minimum On Time is reached, regardless of the state of the input logic. If Maintain Output is checked after the Minimum On Time is reached, the specified Output will remain ON as long as the input logic is true. The timed output instruction will save you PLC programming time by using this instruction instead of combining latching and timing circuits.

Simple Ethernet Do-More PLC Logger DMLogger The Broadcast to DMLogger.exe (DMLOGGER) instruction sends user-created Strings from an Ethernet-equipped Do-more CPU to the Do-more Logger utility. DMLogger is a free program that is installed during the installation of Do-More Designer. It will display the contents of the String along with the time, date, port, and IP address. The Do-more CPU will use Ethernet broadcast packets to send the Strings to the Do-More Logger, which means the Do-more CPU and the PC running Do-More Logger must be in the same Broadcast Domain. Simple logging parameters over the network can then be saved as a CSV file or viewed in real-time. This is ideal for quick tests and monitoring applications. The DMLOGGER instruction editor uses a table-style editor that builds a series of commands with their required data parameters that will sequentially add content to the message body text. Each table entry is built by a sub-dialog, making it very easy to correctly use the script functions and their required parameters.

Do-More TIMEPROP - Time Proportional Control Instruction
17K views · Feb 9, 2023 accautomation.ca
Do-More TIMEPROP - Time Proportional Control Instruction The Time Proportional Control (TIMEPROP) instruction converts the continuous control output variable (interpreted as a percentage) to a time proportioning control value suitable for a discrete output. Cycle Time specifies the time divided into the ON and OFF portions. Three seconds is used in our example. The continuous input in our example comes from the analog input WX0, which ranges from 0 to 4095. This analog range is used as the 0% minimum and 100% maximum ranges. Our output is Y0. Y0 will cycle on and off every 3 seconds based on the percentage of our analog input. The output will always be off if the analog input value is 0. If the analog input value is 4095, the output will be on all the time. An analog input value of 2048 will be about half of the input so that the output will be on 50% of the time or 1.5 seconds of the total 3-second cycle time (Control Period) Time-proportional control is a form of pulse-width modulation.

Do-More INTEGRAT - Integrate Over Time Instruction The Integrate Over Time (INTEGRAT) instruction is used to accumulate the value of the specified input location at a specified time interval. A typical example where this instruction is used would be flow meters. The number of rotations of the rotor is counted by a pulse transmitter and converted to volume and flow rate. The input is usually a rate value. A Sample Time changes the interval it integrates and adjusts the amount added accordingly. The Scale Factor is used to cast into a specific measurement like gallons per minute. The calculation performed at each Sample Time is: Integrate Into = Integrate Into + (Input * (current Sample Time in seconds)* Scale Factor). In our example, the result in R0 is added every second with the WXO value times the scale factor.

Do-More ALRATE - Rate of Change Alarm
17 views · Mar 2, 2023 accautomation.ca
The Rate of Change Alarm instruction (ALRATE) monitors how quickly the value changes in a numeric memory location and sets alarm bits if the value has changed more rapidly than a specified amount. Input is the numeric memory location to monitor. This can be any readable numeric memory location. Sample Time is the frequency (in milliseconds) at which the comparison between the Input value and the Rate Limit is made. The Sample Time can be any positive integer constant value or readable numeric memory location. The rate Limit is the maximum allowable charge of the Input value from one sample time to the next. The Rate Limit can be any constant value or readable numeric memory location. Positive Alarm (if selected) selects the bit location to turn ON if the Input value has increased by more than the Rate Limit since the last Sample Time; otherwise, the bit will be turned OFF. This can be any writable bit location. Negative Alarm (if selected) selects the bit location to turn ON if the Input value has decreased by more than the Rate Limit since the last Sample Time; otherwise, the bit will be turned OFF. This can be any writable bit location.

The Most Powerful PLC Instruction?
210 views · Mar 25, 2024 accautomation.ca
What is the most powerful PLC instruction? What instruction or concept is the most powerful when programming any manufacturer's PLCs? Many people will guess timers, counters, or the set and reset bit instructions. These are all great instructions, but indirect or pointer instruction is the most powerful. In PLC programming, pointers, also called indirect addressing, store or retrieve memory addresses of data or instructions. They are instrumental when dealing with large amounts of data or performing complex calculations. Machine recipes, sequence control, and test result storage are just a few examples of where this powerful PLC instruction is used. We will examine how indirect addressing works in the Click, Do-More, and Productivity PLCs. You will discover how easily and powerful pointers are when programming. Let's get started.

PLC Programming Tutorial - Sequential Motor Start Delay
3K views · Apr 22, 2024 accautomation.ca
We will look at a PLC programming example of delaying the start of seven motors. Each motor will be on a switch the operator can select at any time. The motor outputs should have a 5-second delay between them coming on. This question originally came from PLCTalk.net. We will present Peter Steinhoff's original solution to the problem, which is simple and straightforward. We will use the Do-more Designer software, which comes with a simulator. This fully functional program is offered free of charge at Automation Direct. Detailed information on the program itself and further explanation can be found on our website: https://accautomation.ca/plc-programming-example-delay-starting-of-7-motors/ Video of the Do-More Designer PLC simulator program solution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbyewg_ptxc ACC Automation https://accautomation.ca/

1K views · May 6, 2024 accautomation.ca
Benchwork 1 is a great way to practice PLC programming. We will use the Do-More Designer simulator to program this scene from the Machine Simulator Software suite. This suite was previously called EasyPLC but has since changed its name to describe this industry-leading learning software better. The Machine Simulator suite comprises several machines that can be programmed, or you can design your own. One such machine is Benchwork 1, which transfers red pills from the collection area to the exit belt conveyor. Using the Do-More Designer PLC software, we can practice programming by connecting the D0-More Designer PLC simulator to the Machine Simulator Benchwork 1 machine. Communication will be done using Modbus TCP (Ethernet). The Benchwork 1 machine incorporates a manual and automatic mode to operate.

Do-More PLC P2P Modbus Scanner Communication
272 views · Jul 1, 2024 accautomation.ca
The Do-More PLC P2P Modbus Scanner Communication within the Do-More Designer Software offers a powerful and streamlined solution for integrating Modbus devices into your PLC system. With its advanced features and seamless integration capabilities, this Modbus Application empowers you to unlock new levels of efficiency and productivity in your industrial automation applications. A peer-to-peer (P2P) service is a decentralized platform whereby two individuals interact directly with each other without intermediation by a third party. One of the key advantages of the Do-More PLC Modbus Scanner Communication is its ability to establish peer-to-peer (P2P) communication with Modbus devices. This means the module can directly communicate with Modbus devices on the same network without a supervisory control system. This streamlined communication process allows for faster data exchange and reduces the complexity of the overall system architecture. We will demonstrate how the Do-More Designer Simulator PLC communicates with the BRX Do-More PLC. This will be done via the Modbus IO Scanner in the programming software. The Modbus TCP protocol will read and write 100 discrete bits and registers. Let's get started. More information can be obtained on our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video. https://accautomation.ca/do-more-plc-p2p-modbus-scanner-communication/ 00:00 Do-More PLC P2P Modbus Scanner Communication 01:40 What is Modbus? 02:57 What are Modbus Addresses? 04:03 Programming the Modbus Server PLC 07:16 Programming the Modbus Client PLC 12:29 Monitoring the P2P Modbus TCP Communication 13:32 Testing the Network The entire BRX Series PLC can be found at the following location: https://accautomation.ca/series/brx-do-more-plc/ Here are the individual posts with video links: Numbering Systems and Addressing https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-numbering-systems-and-addressing https://youtu.be/-GiKnIDycKY Timers https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-timers https://youtu.be/0qU9kgunPi4 Counters https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-counters https://youtu.be/k84VQy8ifgg High-Speed IO https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-high-speed-io https://youtu.be/6B5hp_Ri0Ls Program Control https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-program-control https://youtu.be/1fewvxxUyW4 Shifting Instructions https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-shifting-instructions https://youtu.be/FVTxIl8VKmg Drum Instruction https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-drum-instruction https://youtu.be/ILokPN1Aadk Data Logging https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-data-logging https://youtu.be/OBv7XJ9mJeA Email – Text SMS Messaging Gmail https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-email-text-sms-messaging-gmail https://youtu.be/0L74qOwwWAE Secure Email Communication https://youtu.be/hhVawCL3ztU HTTP JSON Instructions https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-http-json-instructions https://youtu.be/MrCt1STwILU PID with PWM Output https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-pid-with-pwm-output https://youtu.be/wUNSv-0e5Rc PID Ramp Soak Profile https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-pid-ramp-soak-profile https://youtu.be/RVOnDwFi1cc Modbus ASCII Protocol https://accautomation.ca/brx-do-more-plc-modbus-ascii-protocol https://youtu.be/X_lzKSIwzrk HTTP Web Server https://accautomation.ca/brx-do-more-plc-http-web-server https://youtu.be/UoTQTgZsdqk Dynamic Web Pages https://accautomation.ca/brx-do-more-plc-dynamic-web-pages/ https://youtu.be/WjiBED03BPY BRX Do-More PLC FTP Client Get Put https://accautomation.ca/brx-do-more-plc-ftp-client-get-put/ https://youtu.be/D6BX5dnut5U Do-More Designer Element Browser https://accautomation.ca/do-more-designer-element-browser/ https://youtu.be/DpI9_boBJzA There are several reasons why we are using the BRX Series Controller. Here are just a few. - Standalone PLC with built-in I/O - Built-in Data Logging - Communication ability - Ethernet Port, RS232, RS485, USB - support for protocols such as Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, ASCII, K-sequence (DirectLOGIC users), Custom Protocols (ASCII over serial, TCP or UDP over Ethernet) - Built-in Analog input and output - Integrated motion control - High-speed counters - Powerful instruction set (Video of Instructions in software) - Ability to expand the system with a variety of modules - Part of the Do-More series of PLCs uses the same free software. (Do-More Designer) - Integrated simulator in the software capable of external communications for testing The BRX series of programmable logic controllers consists of four different units. They differ depending on the inputs and outputs built into the unit and whether it has an ethernet port. No I/O Micro PLC unit – (BX ME) 10 Point Micro PLC unit – (BX 10/10E) 18 Point Micro PLC unit - (BX 18/18E) 36 Point Micro PLC unit - (BX 36/36E) These CPUs (Central Processing Units) are also known as MPUs (Multi-Processing Units) because of their communication capabilities. https://www.accautomation.ca
