Horner XL4 Modbus TCP AdvancedHMI Communication

We will now look at using the Horner XL4 with AdvancedHMI. Advanced HMI is a powerful, adaptable HMI/SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) development package that takes advantage of Visual Studio. There is no coding required and you can simply drag and drop items onto the page. The best thing is that the software is free. We will look at using AdvancedHMI with the Horner APG XL4 controller. Using the program on the process tank application we created previously, we will be controlling and displaying information to the network. The AdvancedHMI package will communicate Modbus TCP over Ethernet to the PLC. We will be able to start and stop our process tank and monitor the parameters via the AdvancedHMI window. This series on the Horner XL4 all-in-one controller (PLC) will go step by step through learning how to use this innovative unit. More information can be obtained at our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video. https://accautomation.ca/horner-xl4-modbus-tcp-advancedhmi-communication Previously we discussed the following on the Horner XL4: System Hardware. https://accautomation.ca/horner-xl4-system-hardware/ Installing the Software Cscape https://accautomation.ca/horner-xl4-installing-the-software-cscape Horner XL4 Cscape Software Setup https://accautomation.ca/horner-xl4-cscape-software-setup Horner XL4 Establishing Communication https://accautomation.ca/horner-xl4-establishing-communication Horner XL4 Numbering System and Addressing https://accautomation.ca/horner-xl4-numbering-system-and-addressing Horner XL4 User Interface https://accautomation.ca/horner-xl4-user-interface Horner XL4 Timers and Counters https://accautomation.ca/horner-xl4-timers-and-counters Compare and Move Instructions http://accautomation.ca/horner-xl4-compare-and-move-instructions Horner XL4 Math Instructions https://accautomation.ca/horner-xl4-math-instructions Horner XL4 Program Control Instructions https://accautomation.ca/horner-xl4-program-control-instructions Horner XL4 Rotate and Shift Register https://accautomation.ca/horner-xl4-rotate-and-shift-register Horner XL4 Recipe Instruction https://accautomation.ca/horner-xl4-recipe-instruction Horner XL4 Report Generator http://accautomation.ca/horner-xl4-report-generator Horner XL4 Modbus RTU Instructions http://accautomation.ca/horner-xl4-modbus-rtu-instructions Horner XL4 FTP File Transfer Protocol Server https://accautomation.ca/horner-xl4-ftp-file-transfer-protocol-server Horner XL4 HTTP Web Server https://accautomation.ca/horner-xl4-http-web-server There are several reasons why we are using the Horner XL4 Controller. Here are just a few. - Investment is low for the hardware and the software is free - Standalone PLC with built-in I/O and HMI - Communication ability - Ethernet Port, RS232, RS485 - support for protocols such as Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, etc. - Built-in data logging functions - Ability to expand the system with a variety of modules https://www.accautomation.ca
