Practical Tips and Techniques
The Omron CP1H PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) is part of the CP1 family of controllers. We will be looking at the hardware and software of this industrial controller. The instructions will be discussed and communications to external devices (AdvancedHMI and C-More) will be shown. This tutorial is great for beginners or seasoned veterans that want … Read more
These series of posts will go through specific hardware and software. They are designed for you to learn the device quickly. PLC Beginners Guide A good place to start for those just starting to learn about PLCs. PLC Fiddle – An Online PLC Editor and Simulator in Your Browser – This is ideal to try … Read more
We will now look at shapes like lines, rectangles, circles, and frames that we can use on our C-More Micro HMI. The C-More Micro 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 … Read more
The C-More Micro HMI Panel 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 software will save you time and money especially if your hardware is not available. The … Read more
We will now look at creating common screen menus on our C-More Micro HMI. The menu can appear on multiple screens which provides intuitive operation for your operators. 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 … Read more
Previously we put our first program (Video) into the C-More Micro HMI Panel using the C-More Micro programming software. The Do-More Designer Simulator was 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. This communication was done … Read more
