ACC Automation: PLC & Industrial Control Learning
Practical Tips and Techniques
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
The MOSAIC Modular Safety Integrated Controller can be programmed for your safety control application. Steps to programming our MOSAIC include writing the program, verification, simulation, downloading and monitoring. We will be looking at the E-STOP instruction part of our program. Our first program included writing, verifying, simulating and monitoring our MOSAIC Safety emergency stop switch … Read more
We will now look at the C-More EA9 meters and graphs that we can have on our HMI. 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 … Read more

Our first program included writing, verifying, simulating and monitoring our MOSAIC Safety … 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. We will now look at the object indicators that we can use with … Read more
The MOSAIC Modular Safety Integrated Controller can be programmed for your safety control application. Steps to programming our MOSAIC include writing the program, verification, simulation, downloading and monitoring. In part 1, we wrote, verified and simulated our program. Our first program has an emergency stop switch with status indication. We will now be using the … Read more
The MOSAIC Modular Safety Integrated Controller can be programmed for your safety control application. Steps to programming our MOSAIC include writing the program, verification, simulation, downloading, and monitoring. We will be using the MOSAIC Safety Designer software (MSD) to write, verify, and simulate our program. Our first program will have an emergency stop switch with … Read more
We would like to take a few minutes and reflect on the past, current and future of ACC Automation. Your questions, comments and suggestions have helped us to build the site that you see today. Thank you. YouTube Channel : ACC Automation https://youtu.be/nPa1aBQ_Rro 2018 has been our best year yet thanks to you.
The CTT series from Automation Direct are multi-function digital units. They incorporate a multi-function digital counter, timer and tachometer all within the same unit. Tachometer mode will bring in pulses that can be from a sensor, incremental encoder, etc. and convert this to a rate. Rates such as speed or frequency deal with units per … Read more
The CTT series from Automation Direct are multi-function digital units. They incorporate a multi-function digital counter, timer and tachometer all within the same unit. The counter timer mixed mode will operate in sixteen (16) different ways. Two different count input modes can be selected. Up or Down can be selected. We will program eight of … Read more
