ACC Automation: PLC & Industrial Control Learning
Practical Tips and Techniques
Downloading and installing nodes on our Click PLUS C2-NRED module is not complex to learn, but there are a few items that you must take into consideration. Currently, the C2-NRED module has Node-RED version 3.0 preinstalled, which was initially released on July 14, 2022, and is a stable software version. It uses version 14.1 of … Read more
We will now program our Pneumatic Pusher simulator with the Click PLUS PLC. The Machine Simulator (MS) is a valuable component of the Machine Simulator Software Suite. It offers a range of built-in machines, including the pneumatic pusher machine, which effectively demonstrates various programming techniques. We will use the Click PLC programming software to showcase … Read more
Join me as I take on the challenge of creating a simple start-stop circuit in ladder logic using DeepSeek AI—let’s see if it can nail it! In industrial automation, the ability to design and simulate control circuits is essential for ensuring the functionality and safety of various systems. One of the fundamental circuits used in … Read more
As we conclude another year of learning PLC programming at ACC Automation, we are excited to reflect on the progress, innovations, and milestones we’ve achieved in 2024. This year has been filled with growth, learning, and pushing the limits of industrial automation. Let’s highlight some key events from the year.
Previously, we learned that only 31% of businesses have fully automated at least one function (McKinsey). There is a massive demand for automation and creating training environments. Using the machine simulator, we utilized the Modbus TCP (Ethernet) Server in the “Easy Transfer Line.” This is just one of many pre-built scenes, or you can design … Read more
Only 31% of businesses have fully automated at least one function (McKinsey). This means a huge demand for automation and creating a training environment exists. Typically, automation training and hands-on programming take time and a lot of resources, but this is no longer the case. Creating an effective automation training environment tailored to your industry … Read more
We will now communicate from the C-more CM5 HMI to the latest Machine Simulator (EasyPLC) version, 4.1. This will be done using Ethernet on a Modbus TCP network. The machine simulator (MS) will be the server, and the C-more will be the Client. Machine simulators play a crucial role in industrial automation as they allow … Read more
Programming a C-more CM5 HMI (Human-Machine Interface) or any other unit can initially seem daunting, but it can be a rewarding experience with the proper guidance. This post will walk you through the steps to program a C-more HMI unit, specifically the CM5 HMI model. Whether you’re a beginner or have some experience with HMI … Read more
We will establish communication and check the firmware on our C-More CM5 HMI touch panel. Communication with our CM5 HMI can be done via USB or Ethernet. The C-More CM5 has a USB port just used for programming, which is especially helpful if you are physically connecting to the HMI unit. Firmware is a type … Read more
C-More CM5 (HMI) programming software programs the CM5 series of controllers. This software and hardware can be used in various industries, such as manufacturing, automotive, and food processing. It is known for its user-friendly interface and powerful features that make designing and implementing HMI applications easy. Each of the C-More series will have its own … Read more
