Click demonstration of how easy it is to set up the Click PLCs to send and receive when connected to other Click PLCs. This is the first video of a short series of Modbus communications to other devices.
Hi Phil these videos have been really informative thank you. I'm yet to purchase a PLC but looking for something that fits my application. I need to run a program on a PLC to control temperatures on fermentation tanks, the input being a temp sensor and the output to a motorised ball valve which allows flow of chilled glycol to drop the temp on the tank itself. While I understand this device can easily turn the valve on and off depending on the set temperature, do you know if it's able to run a program that can extend over a week where as an example: days 1-3 set at 18 degrees C, then day 3-4 set at 20 degrees then 4 onwards 22 degrees? Ive been told click are really simple and might not be able to run programs like that. What's your experience regarding this?
You can set up timers by hours, days, months, whatever. You will need analog inputs or temperature module, etc. for the variable inputs and out puts, but start/stop are always discrete
I was just trying to get some basics out to help people get started with the Clicks because they are inexpensive and yet powerful. There are many other channels such as Automation Direct that have specific training that are very good.
Can anybody help me? I have a plc click in version 2.20 and i try to update to the actual version but appears an error "GUI-022" I'm trying to update using the port 3 (rs 485)
