AdvancedHMI to Click PLC to Solo Temperature Controller
« on: August 21, 2016, 06:41:20 AM »
Here is a recent post that will communicate Modbus TCP from AdvancedHMI to the Click PLC. The Click PLC will communicate Modbus RTU to the Solo Temperature Controller.

Here are parts of the post:
We will look at using AdvancedHMI with the Click PLC. Our sample Click PLC program will read the present value (PV) and the indicating lights on our Solo Process Temperature Controller. It will then write the set value (SV) to the Solo. This communication will be done using Modbus RTU protocol over a RS485 serial port on the Click. The AdvancedHMI package will communicate Modbus TCP over Ethernet to the Click PLC. We will be able to monitor our PV and set our SV on the Solo via the AdvancedHMI window.

We will utilize the previous post “AdvancedHMI Solo Process Temperature Controller”. Instead of communicating Modbus RTU we will change this to Modbus TCP.

Wow, $159 for PLC, $110 for temp. controller. That;s really low cost. What do you use for HMI/PC interface?

Are these CLICKS PLC last long or reliable enough?

Hi Bachphi
We have been using varies Click PLCs for a number of years, they are 100% reliable now, the earlier firmware had a few odd issues with coding but I can't fault them now. We have a bottle filling machine that runs 6 days per week 52 weeks per year running 100,000 litres per day with a Click analog version with serial only comms, has never stopped, replaced the battery last year after 6 years of operation. Amazing little PLC.
