Practical Tips and Techniques
Only 31% of businesses have fully automated at least one function (McKinsey). This means a huge demand for automation and creating a training environment exists. Typically, automation training and hands-on programming take time and a lot of resources, but this is no longer the case. Creating an effective automation training environment tailored to your industry … 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
We will use Modbus TCP (Ethernet) to connect and program the XGB PLC to the Machine Simulator Easy Transfer Line. The Machine Simulator (EasyPLC) Software Suite is a comprehensive package with PLC, HMI, and Machine Simulator software. It features a Machine Simulator (MS) that allows virtual communication with many programmable logic controllers (PLCs) in a … 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
The Machine Simulator (MS) is part of the EasyPLC software suite. It has many built-in machines, like the palletizing conveyor machine, that show different programming techniques. The palletizing conveyor example is one of these machines, and we will use the Click PLC programming software. This will demonstrate a sequencer example. In this case, a box … Read more
Integrating automation and robotics has revolutionized modern industrial processes, particularly material handling. The EasyPLC Machine Simulator Robot Loader, which loads boxes onto skids in manufacturing facilities, can be used to help learn PLC programming. This 3D simulation robot loader communicates with a Click PLC through Modbus TCP (Ethernet) communication, enabling seamless coordination and control. The … Read more
