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. It also works with all major brands like Rockwell Automation, Semiens, Codesys, & more.

I will be using Rockwell Automation's Studio 5000 with an RSLinx OPC server in this PLC programming example.
