EasyPLC Paint Line Bit Shift - BRX Do More PLC
The Machine Simulator (MS) is part of the EasyPLC software suite. It has many built-in machines that are used to show different programming techniques. The paint line is one of these machines. It will use a bit shift (shift register) to track bottles along a conveyor belt. All the bottles will be detected using photocells and tracked along the conveyor. Larger (taller) bottles will be painted and then pushed into a box at different sections of the conveyor belt. A control panel will be used to start and stop the paint line and display the bottle count. The paint line machine simulator is an excellent way to learn how to program shift registers in the PLC.
The BRX Do-More PLC will be used to program this virtual paint line machine. Using the BRX Do-More PLC, we will connect to the paint line machine. This will be done using Modbus TCP (Ethernet) for communications. Using the five steps for program development we will show how this is programmed. Let’s get started.
