We will now put our first program into the C-More Micro HMI Panel using the C-More Micro programming software. The Do-More Designer Simulator will be used with a modified Start Stop Jog Circuit so we can use our HMI screen to control the output as well as the inputs on the PLC. The PLC logic … Read more
A majority of programmable logic controller (PLC) programs will include a counter instruction. The Productivity 1000 Series PLC has a couple of different counter instructions for your program. Under the data handling instructions, we have the increment/decrement instruction (INC). We could use this with the compare contact (CMP) instruction that we discussed in our Contact … Read more
Just about every programmable logic controller (PLC) program will include a timer instruction. The Productivity 1000 Series PLC has several different timer instructions for your program. We discussed the timed coil (TMC) and flasher coil (FLS) last time as part of the contacts and coil discussion. (Contact and Coil Instructions – Video) We will now … Read more
The C-more Micro HMI Panels from Automation Direct include a series of built-in Systems Setup Screens. They are split into three categories; Information, Setting, and Test Menu. Information – Under the information menu we will find the panel model number, available memory, and usage, the protocol being used by the panel, and the version information … Read more
Contact and coil instructions are in every PLC program. The Productivity Suite Software consists of more than 82 instructions divided into 13 categories for the PLC. Contacts and Coils are two of the categories of instructions. Contact instructions include NO / NC, NO Edge / NC Edge and Compare. Coil instructions include Out, Set, Reset, … Read more
