Node-RED will be used on the Raspberry Pi 4 to communicate Modbus RTU to a Solo process temperature controller and Click PLC using twisted pair RS485. This will be done on the same serial network so the devices will be daisy-chained together on the two wires. We will be reading the PV (present value) and SV (set value) of the Solo temperature controller and then writing these values into the Click PLC. An SV value will then be read from the Click PLC and if it has changed, the value will be written to the SV of the Solo controller. Let’s get started. More information can be obtained at our website.

There are two ways to set a static IP address for our Raspberry Pi 4 Model B. The first is to use the C (Media Access Control) address value and set the IP address using your router software. The C address can be found by using the ifconfig in terminal mode and pressing enter. Here is a video on this procedure. https://youtu.be/tz0XaHKdaNI The second method to set the IP address is to use the DHCP client daemon (dhcpcd). sudo service dhcpcd status This command will show you if the dhcpcd is running. If not then use the following commands to start and run the service at startup. sudo service dhcpcd start sudo systemctl enable dhcpcd Edit the DHCP Client Daemon by using the following command: sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf Add the following lines to the configuration file. interface eth0 static ip_address=192.168.1.134/24 static routers=192.168.1.1 static domain_name_servers=192.168.1.1 Note: /24 represents the mask of 255.255.255.0 Save the changes with ‘Ctrl + O’ and then press the enter key. Close the configuration file with ‘Ctrl + X’. Restart to adopt the newly assigned static IP address in the network: sudo reboot Here is a link to using terminal mode on the Raspberry Pi. https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/usage/terminal/ https://amzn.to/2Q9auRV The starter kits come with everything that you will need to get started using your raspberry pi. - Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 4GB RAM with 1.5GHz 64-bit Quad-core CPU - USB-C Power Adapter Specially Designed for Raspberry Pi 4 B 4 GB RAM - Set of 3 Premium Copper Heat Sinks Assures Excellent Thermal Delivery - 32GB Class 10 MicroSD Card Preloaded with NOOBS - LABISTS Premium Black Case (High Gloss) for Pi 4B - LABISTS Mini Silent Fan - Two Micro HDMI to HDMI Cables - One LABISTS Screwdriver - USB Card Reader Dongle - LABISTS Raspberry Pi Quick-Start Guide This low-cost small computer plugs into a computer monitor.

Here are just a few. - CE and UL certified - Designed to be MZero compatible - Industrial shields available - Ethernet and general-purpose IO - 15 Productivity 1000 PLC modules can be added - Customize your system - Use your Arduino programs in the industrial environment - Micro USB port - Power the CPU only and programming - Micro SD card slot - Programmable toggle switch - CPU LED light - Free software - Arduino IDE - Productivity blocks - Program Development Time Saver The Productivity Open Arduino Compatible Industrial Controller currently has all of these features built into the P1AM-100 CPU. https://www.accautomation.ca

We will now look at our first program for the Arduino P1AM. The P1AM-100 industrial controller is programmed with the Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment). We installed the Arduino IDE, P1AM-100 library, and ProductivityBlocks. Using this software we will be setting it up to program our P1AM Arduino industrial controller. The Boards Manager will be used to set up our P1AM-100 Arduino board. We will then ensure that our device driver has been installed so we can communicate to the Productivity Open Controller. Using ProductivityBlocks, we will call up one of the sample programs, verify and upload the program to the P1AM-100. This program will blink the CPU LED light on and off. Let’s get started.

The P1AM-100 industrial controller is programmed with the Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment). The C++ programming environment is emerging in industrial automation. This software is open-sourced and available free of charge. It will run on Windows, Mac, or Linux. ProductivityBlocks is a graphical programming interface and add-on to the Arduino IDE. It helps you build your sketch program by dragging and dropping interlocking blocks. The associated C++ is automatically generated for you. This will help you to avoid syntax errors. We will be installing the Arduino IDE, P1AM-100 library, and Productivity Blocks. This will be done on a Windows 7 machine. Let’s get started. More information can be obtained on our website.

Productivity Open is an industrial-rated Arduino compatible platform controller. This rugged open-sourced CPU mimics the MZero Arduino. You can add standard MZero shields (Add-on Boards), along with the Productivity 1000 PLC I/O. The Productivity Open Arduino Compatible Industrial Controller is CE and UL certified. Approved industrial standards ensure that your panels operate equipment and systems in a wide range of industrial environments and enable the safe functioning of equipment. Industrial electrical noise isolation has been incorporated in the design of the Productivity Open. Voltages up to 240VAC can now be used with up to 3A output ratings on your maker project. We will be unboxing and powering up our Productivity Open Starter Kit complete with an Ethernet and general-purpose IO Shield. Our kit also comes with a Productivity 1000 Analog input/output module.
