Communication between PLC program to PLC program is highly used for system integration so that all PLC programs communicate important data back & forth. This process works for RSlogix 5000 or Studio 5000 Produced & Consumed data is one of the fastest ways to communicate that data because you can set a finite set of data in all processors that are exchanging data. In this example video, I am setting up produced consumed data for two PLC processors using a DINT. A small amount of data to get a clear understanding of how the properly set up the communications. Please do not skip through because you will miss very important steps. 0:00 Building our PLC programs 2:00 Setting up the processors in the I/O tree 4:40 Adding our tags for produced data in machine 1 6:21 Adding the Consumed data in machine 2 7:50 Adding produced tags in machine 2 9:10 Adding consumed data in machine 1 10:35 Downloading the machine 1 PLC program 11:05 Downloading the machine 2 PLC program 12:05 Testing the produced consumed data 14:10 Quick tip to find produced data or consumed data 16:30 Recommended videos for you I hope it helped.

Analog Pick & Place with a reject system. Another tutorial of using the EasyPLC software suite, this instance will be using Studio 5000 V31 with an RSlinx Classic OPC connection. You do not have to have one of the top names of programming software to work with EasyPLC because it has its own PLC programming software that comes with it. I just enjoy using the RSlinx OPC with Studio 5000 to program all of the machine examples that the software comes with.

The EasyPLC software suite makes PLC programming fun & challenging at the same time because you have the ability to see how to machine is supposed to work then program the PLC logic to work that way. This example is a robot cell that picks up an engine the places it into a crate. Providing a great experience to set up the OPC driver in RSlinx to work with Studio 5000. EasyPLC software suite is much better than FactoryIO & is a much better cost so I am showing this because we all need a great resource to learn automation controls for the manufacturing environment. This way, you have an easy way to understand the scope of work then you can program the PLC logic to function as designed. A great way to be proficient in PLC programming. EasyPLC & Machine Simulator also has its own PLC coding logic if you do not have PLC software, further software is needed.

Reading Controllogix data from the plc has now moved into a much simpler form with Python 3 by importing Pycomm3 or PyLogix. Before Windows disabled the DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange), we could right simple DDE code to read & write data with the plc processor. DDE was deemed a security risk so using excel for this task is no longer a good resource moving forward so this is where Python is the tool of choice. Which is the exact reason why I spent time learning to use python & from digging into things like Github, I found two simple imports to use. Pycomm3 or PyLogix Here is a link to PyComm3: Doc: https://docs.pycomm3.dev/en/latest/ GitHub: https://github.com/ottowayi/pycomm3 With the growth of open source code, things may be a lot better in the coming future than I show in this video, what I am trying to show in this video is a simple way to communicate by another resource. Use cases are all different so as I find good use cases then I may show more videos on this, with that said if this video is received well & everyone wants to know more. The examples in this video are simple & are meant to be to give a clear understanding of a tool we can use. The resources provided have much greater information if you are interested. I have no affiliation with Github nor the person who developed Pucomm3 or Pylogix, I just think these are helpful tools that we all have an opportunity to use & grow from. 0:00 Quick Intro 1:05 Importing Pycomm3 in Visual Studio 1:55 Python 3 code to read PLC data via IP address 3:10 Testing the Python code to read PLC data 3:35 Other elements of Pycomm3 5:30 Using Pylogix in Visual Studio 5:50 Importing Pylogix 6:20 Writing the Pylogix code example 7:50 Creating a new tag in our PLC for testing 9:45 Testing the Pylogix read 14:05 Recommended videos for you I hope it helped.
