Practical Tips and Techniques
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
The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) XGB PLC, developed by LS Electric, offers a convenient programming interface using the XG5000 software in ladder diagram format. This widely used industrial PLC language is known for its simplicity and intuitiveness. The PLC can be programmed in four of the five official languages specified in the IEC standards. Previously, … 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
In the world of programmable logic controllers (PLCs), variables are a crucial component of any program. They allow for the storage and manipulation of data and are essential for creating complex programs that can perform a wide variety of tasks. In this article, we will take a closer look at variables in the LS Electric … Read more
The C-more touch panels include a series of built-in System Setup Screens that allow you to view detailed information about the panel, adjust certain features, configure communications, test various functions of the touch panel, backup and restore firmware, a recipe, log and project memory, clear memory, and reset all values and conditions back to the … Read more
Benchwork 1 is a great way to practice PLC programming. We will use the Do-More Designer simulator to program this scene from the Machine Simulator Software suite. This suite was previously called EasyPLC but has since changed its name to describe this industry-leading learning software better. The Machine Simulator suite comprises several machines that can … Read more
