P1AM Industrial Arduino Watchdog Timer

A watchdog is a piece of code that will timeout when an error occurs in our program. It will usually cause the CPU (program/sketch) to stop or reset. We will now look at the instructions for the watchdog timer in productivity blocks. This includes the Configure Watchdog, Start Watchdog, Stop Watchdog, and Pet Watchdog. Our … Read more

BRX Do-More PLC Modbus ASCII Protocol

Do-more plc modbus ascii protocol will be used to communicate to a  Solo process temperature controller. A sample program will explain in detail how this is accomplished through a serial port. Modbus is a communication method used for transmitting information over serial lines between electronic devices. The device requesting the information is called the Modbus … Read more

P1AM Arduino P1 Digital Inputs and Outputs 2

In part 1 we added additional discrete digital inputs and outputs modules (cards) to our P1AM-START1 (Industrial Arduino) ProductivityOpen starter kit with Ethernet. A program was then discussed that will print the modules in our system and then set and reset discrete digital inputs and outputs. P1-16TR – Productivity1000 relay output module, 16-point, 6-24 VDC/6-120 … Read more

Productivity 1000 PLC Modbus ASCII Protocol

We will not look at the productivity 1000 plc modbus ascii protocol to the Solo process temperature controller. This will be done in ladder logic on our productivity 1000 PLC. Modbus ASCII is a communication method used for transmitting information over serial lines between electronic devices. The device requesting the information is called the Modbus … Read more

Click PLC Modbus ASCII Protocol Communication

click plc modbus ascii

We will now look at the click plc modbus ascii protocol. This communication will happen in PLC ladder logic and communicate through the serial port (RS485) to a Solo process temperature controller. Modbus ASCII will be the communication protocol. Modbus is a communication method used for transmitting information over serial lines between electronic devices. The … Read more
