Practical Tips and Techniques
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
The PLC Simulator is a valuable tool for testing and troubleshooting Sequential Function Chart (SFC) programs within the XG5000 programming software. It enables users to simulate the functionality of a Programmable Logic Controller (LS Electric PLC) without needing any physical hardware. This feature makes it an excellent resource for both novices and seasoned programmers. Furthermore, … Read more
The C-More CM5 HMI programming software will allow tags to be imported. This can save you work hours when establishing communications with different PLC controllers. Instead of creating and labeling tags in the PLC and the HMI, we can export them from the PLC and import them into the HMI. This saves you time, money, … Read more
PLC Simulator is a convenient tool for testing and troubleshooting structured text (ST) programs in the XG5000 programming software. It allows you to simulate the operation of a programmable logic controller (LS Electric PLC) without needing actual hardware. This makes it a valuable asset for beginners and experienced programmers. We will use the PLC simulator … Read more
The Click PLC Programming Software Version 3.60 has added support for a new Remote PLC Mobile App, which allows users to view and edit PLC Registers and view PLC Status from an iOS or Android mobile device. Any CPU with Ethernet or Bluetooth communication supports this feature. We will install the latest Click PLC Programming … 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
