Industrial Shields

In this post it is showed how to use the mapping pins of Industrial Shields boards. Before using these pins it is necessary to download the Industrial Shields boards. Follow the next link to download the boards.  These boards provide you Industrial Shields PLC mapping. How it works? For example with this boards it is not necessary to figure out what Arduino pin belong to the Industrial Shields PLC. Just using directly this PLC pin, Arduino IDE will arrange the…

In this blog is showed how to implement an Arduino web server on Arduino based PLC’s.  The requirement for this example is just an Ardunio based PLC with Ethernet connection as   M-Duino.   M-Duino require power supply to make work the Ethernet shield and Ethernet wire.  You must select the IP and Mac direction. In this example are: IP = 192.168.1.219 and Mac = 0xDE, 0xAB, 0xBE, 0x15, 0x00, 0x01.

On this post it is showed how to connect Industrial Shields Arduino based PLC (M-Duino‘s) with a Siemens PLC equipped with Ethernet port or communication processor. Any PLC is supported except for old S5 family. To do that we have to use Settimino. Settimino is an open source Ethernet library for interfacing Arduino with Siemens S7 PLC’s. CPU’s 1200/1500 LOGO 0BA7 and S7200 are also supported. Download Settimino from the link.  Requirements of this example: Arduino based PLC with Ethernet…

In this post it is showed how to read the speed of an encoder with an Arduino based PLC’s.  The requirements for this example are: Encoder One of our PLC’s 2 resistors of 4k7 In this example we have used an E6B2-C OMRON encoder and an M-Duino 21 I/O’s

In this post it is showed how to count pulses of an encoder with one of Arduino based PLC’s.  The requirements for this example are: Encoder One of our PLC’s 2 resistors of 4k7 In this example we have used an E6B2-C OMRON encoder and an M-Duino 21 I/O’s
