MOSAIC Safety Controller System Hardware

by

Safety controllers monitor over-voltage / short circuit protection, redundant relays, and positive guided contacts to provide a level of fail-safe operation for applications. The modular MOSAIC safety controller is an expandable, cost-effective choice over standalone safety relays. Especially as the required number of relays/channels increases. It will also reduce the wiring of your safety circuits. … Read more

C-More EA9 HMI Series Panel Simulate Project

by

We will now look at the C-More simulate project mode on the C-More EA9 Software. The C-More HMI Panel programming software has a simulation mode. This simulator will allow you to test your project before transferring it to a panel. Testing your application is a vital step in HMI program development. This feature of the … Read more

Wiring an NPN PNP Sensor to the Click PLC

by

A proximity sensor (switch) is able to detect object presence without physical contact like a limit switch. No physical contact means that the switch has no parts that will wear out. The life span of the sensor is increased with less maintenance. A capacitive proximity sensor will detect ferrous and non-ferrous objects. The sensor works … Read more

C-More EA9 HMI Series Panel Common Screen Menu

by

We will now look at programming in our C-More, common screen menus.  Allowing operators of your HMI (Human Machine Interface) panel to easily navigate all of the information available is a vital part of programming. We want to present the information to the operator so they will clearly understand the programmed operation of the unit. … Read more

Wiring an Inductive NPN PNP Sensor – Click PLC

by

We will now look at wiring an NPN and PNP inductive proximity sensor to the Click PLC. A proximity sensor (switch) is able to detect object presence without physical contact like a limit switch. No physical contact means that the switch has no parts that will wear out. The life span of the sensor is … Read more

C-More EA9 HMI Series Panel – PLC Settings

by

We will now look at the C-More panel settings for communication to the PLC. The C-More EA9 HMI (Human Machine Interface) Series Panel will communicate to the PLC directly through the tag database that we discovered in our first program. We were able to read and write individual bits in the PLC. Panel to PLC … Read more
