Practical Tips and Techniques
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 … Read more
The C-More HMI Panel software uses virtual components called Objects. These objects are programmable to simulate the functions that you require on your automation project. Pushbuttons, Switches, meters, and graphs are just a few of the objects that are available to you. The recipe object changes the value of a tag or multiple tags. We … Read more
Signal conditioners are used with analog current and voltage signals. They have the ability to change your input analog signal to another output analog signal. As an example, we can have 4-20mA analog input and change it to a 0-10VDC output signal so we can wire this into our PLC. Typically signal conditioners will also … Read more
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 … Read more
