In this lesson, we will go through how to set up the Siemens S71200, 1211C DC/DC/RLY Hardware and communicate with TIA Portal Software. Please refer to downloadable material for further instruction, reference, and notes.

WARNING: THE POWER SUPPLY HAS HIGH VOLTAGE, WHEN ITS TURN ON PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH THE WIRES OR KEEP NEAR TO ANY LIVE SUBSTANCE OR DANGEROUS THING SUCH AS WATER OR OTHER TYPE DEVICE THAT CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PLC. THIS IS FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY. IF YOU ARE NOT TOO FAMILIAR, PLEASE CONSULT YOUR NEAREST ELECTRICAL EXPERT OR SUPPLIER TO GUIDE YOU IN THIS INSTALLATION PROCESS. WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOURSELF.

In this lecture (Part 2) which is a continuation of Part 1 (Lecture 19) going through establishing (Going Online) communication with Siemens TIA Portal Software and I will show you another way to test your, PLC is surely online to your PC. Please refer to downloadable material for further instruction, reference, and notes.

This Lecture will quickly show you where the Siemens TIA Portal saves your PLC programs on your PC.

In this lecture, We'll learn how to work with the Siemens PLCSIM and how to download our PLC program to a virtual Siemens S7-1200 series PLC and simulate our software. Please refer to downloadable material for further instruction, reference, and notes.

Tag is a name you assign to an address of device/PLC. It is also called "variable" or "symbol" depending on the manufacture of the device/PLC. You must configure the tag using a configuration tool on the device/PLC. In TIA Portal, you can import tag names up to 255 characters (single and double-byte characters combined). Please refer to downloadable material for further instruction, reference, and notes. tq.

The purpose of this lecture is to illustrate how CTU and CTD counters can be used in pairs. The CTU Up counter and CTD Down counter can be combined to form up/down counters using a simple 2 floor elevator application. We will use this type of counter pair to control the hoist action for a two floor elevator application.

CTUD is an up and down counter function block and it is typically used to indicate when a count has decreased to 0 or increased to a specified maximum number. ... If the counter reaches the number specified by the PV input, the counter will no longer increase, even if the CD input continues to change from False to True.

This output instruction moves the source value to the destination location. As long as the rung remains true, the instruction moves the data each scan.This output instruction moves the source value to the destination location. As long as the rung remains true, the instruction moves the data each scan. Please refer to downloadable material for further instruction, reference, and notes. tq

When you do a program for Automation using Siemens S7 PLC Models, then you might encounter analog Scaling and Un-scaling part. Which is important. In the real-time world, the application of the analog sensor in the industry is huge. This lecture will guide you in nut and shell how to program with scaling.

DB block programming and setting.

Factory I/O is a 3D factory simulation for learning automation technologies. Designed to be easy to use, it allows us to quickly build a virtual factory using a selection of common industrial parts. Factory I/O also includes many scenes inspired by typical industrial applications, ranging from beginner to advanced difficulty levels.

The most common scenario is to use Factory I/O as a PLC training platform since PLC are the most common controllers found in industrial applications.

In this video, we will guide you on the installation part of Factory IO.

This getting started guide walks you through the basics of Factory I/O, including working with cameras, creating/editing scenes, and controlling them with external technologies. At the end of this guide, you will be able to create a virtual factory and use it together with your own PLC.

If you are new to Factory I/O, it will be useful to get an introduction to a few basic concepts regarding the user interface and general workflow. Please refer to downloadable material for further instruction, reference, and notes. tq

Factory IO Options are the key important in configuring ur platform which will be suitable for your comfort. In this video will we explain the configuration needed to set ur factory io software to your suitable environment. Please refer to downloadable material for further instruction, reference, and notes. tq

Cameras are a key element in Factory I/O. Almost every task requires you to know how to properly manipulate cameras. They are used when navigating in 3D space, editing and creating scenes, interacting with parts, and so on. It's important that you feel as comfortable as possible using cameras so you can get the most out of Factory I/O. Please refer to downloadable material for further instruction, reference, and notes. tq

Factory I/O works in two different modes, Edit, and Run mode. In Edit mode, you edit a scene by placing parts together and in Run mode, you simulate it in real-time. Please refer to downloadable material for further instruction, reference, and notes. tq

Each sensor or actuator has one or more tags. Tags are used to link actuators and sensor values to a controller. However, tags can also be used to control actuators manually. Please refer to downloadable material for further instruction, reference, and notes. tq

This lecture will walk you through all the steps required to enable communication between your Factory IO PLC Simulation Software and the Siemens TIA Portal V14/15.1. (Using PLC SIM V15 Software)

These are the monitors and controls of a machine that allows the operator to run a machine or monitor a machine. Engineers can program an HMI to perform almost any function that can be controlled or information that can be monitored by a PLC. HMIs and PLCs work together to monitor and control the machine. This means they have to be compatible and they also have to speak the same language so to say. This comes in the form of a Protocol which is just an industrial network. Please refer to downloadable material for further instruction, reference, and notes. tq
