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
PLC Simulator is a convenient tool for testing and troubleshooting ladder logic 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 demonstrate how to effectively use … 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
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 be wiring discrete inputs and outputs to an XGB PLC. This will be a lighted pushbutton start and stop. In industrial automation, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are crucial in controlling various machines and processes. One of the most widely used PLCs is the LS Electric XGB series, which is known for its reliability … Read more
The automatic packing machine in the Machine Simulator (EasyPLC) Software Suite is an excellent way to learn 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 better describe this industry-leading learning software. … Read more
