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
We will now look at ink mixing and bottling PLC programming. EasyPLC software suite has a feature called Machine Simulator (MS) that comprises several machines that can be programmed, or you can design your own. One such machine is the ink mixer, which is used to mix different inks using the red, green, and blue … Read more
