Productivity 2000 PLC Node-RED Modbus TCP

Productivity 2000 PLC Node-RED Modbus TCP

We will now look at communication between the Productivity 2000 PLC (Modbus TCP Server) and Node-RED (Modbus TCP Client). Node-RED is a powerful, adaptable HMI/SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) development package that uses flow programming. Minimal coding is required; you can see the program flow visually. The best thing is that the software is … Read more

XY-MD02 Temp Humidity Serial UART Communication

XY-MD02 Temp Humidity Serial UART Communication

To get started with the XY-MD02 temperature and humidity sensor, we will be using the program PuTTY for serial communication. We will use RS485 serial communication to establish a connection and show how to read the values and parameters of the XY-MD02 sensor effectively. Additionally, we will explore the automatic polling feature, which allows for … Read more

XY-MD02 Sensor Setting – Modbus RTU Network

XY-MD02 Sensor Setting - Modbus RTU Network

The XY-MD02 temperature and humidity sensor uses Modbus RTU for communication. Modbus RTU (serial) works as a master (client) to slave (server) communication protocol. To add this sensor to an existing network as another unit number, you must set it up first. We will be using the Simply Modbus Master software in demo mode to … Read more

Integrating XY-MD02 Sensor Modbus RTU Click PLC

Integrating an XY-MD02 Sensor with Modbus RTU into Click PLC

Using Modbus RTU (RS485), we will connect the XY-MD02 Temperature and Humidity Sensor to the Click PLC. The Click will be the Client (Master), and the Sensor will be the Server (Slave). This is an ideal sensor to place in a panel to ensure that the panel is within a working temperature and humidity range. … Read more

BRX Do-More Simple Modbus Serial Communication

BRX Do-More Simple Modbus Serial Communication

The newest Do-More Designer Programming Software (2.9) version includes a Modbus I/O Scanner. This Modbus scanner will simplify Modbus RTU serial communications to any device. Communications are done independent of the PLC scan time and will have little or no ladder logic for the program. We will be communicating to a Solo process temperature controller … Read more

Omron PLC Node-RED Serial Communication

PLC manufactures have their own proprietary protocols. These methods of communication will allow you to program the controller. Other protocols will allow you to collect and log information from the programmable logic controller. Node-RED has the ability to read and write to the Omron controller using special protocol commands. We will connect Node-RED to the … Read more
