BRX Do-More PLC Numbering Systems and Addressing

We will look at numbering systems in our BRX Do-More controller. This will include physical IO, casting, and indirect addressing. The BRX PLC like all of the PLCs in the Do-More Series uses strong data typing. This means that there are fixed memory structures to work within your program. Errors will be displayed if you try to put the wrong type of value in the memory location. The data structures will automatically assist you in your automation system. Memory can now be as flexible as you want and need. You can define and allocate all the data memory the way you want it up to specific maximums. As a system integrator, you determine what best fits your automation framework. We will be looking at the addressing and numbering systems in the BRX Series PLC. Let’s get started. More information can be obtained at our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video. https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-numbering-systems-and-addressing Previously in this BRX Do-More Series PLC, we looked at the following: System Hardware https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-system-hardware System Hardware Video https://youtu.be/wSYgY09VYeA Unboxing Video https://youtu.be/-Tf8m3BqzPo Installing the Software https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-installing-the-software Installing the Software Video https://youtu.be/iFI1ebP8Zkk Establishing Communication https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-establishing-communication Establishing Communication Video https://youtu.be/shU5g8MA8VM Updating Firmware Video https://youtu.be/gsfcGGK4-Sk There are several reasons why we are using the BRX Series Controller. Here are just a few. - Standalone PLC with built-in I/O - Built-in Data Logging - Communication ability - Ethernet Port, RS232, RS485, USB - support for protocols such as Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, ASCII, K-sequence (DirectLOGIC users), Custom Protocols (ASCII over serial, TCP or UDP over Ethernet) - Built-in Analog input and output - Integrated motion control - High-speed counters - Powerful instruction set (Video of Instructions in software) - Ability to expand the system with a variety of modules - Part of the Do-More series of PLCs which use the same free software. (Do-More Designer) - Integrated simulator in the software capable of external communications for testing The BRX series of programmable logic controllers consist of four different units. They differ depending on the Inputs and Outputs built into the unit and if it has an ethernet port. No I/O Micro PLC unit – (BX ME) 10 Point Micro PLC unit – (BX 10/10E) 18 Point Micro PLC unit - (BX 18/18E) 36 Point Micro PLC unit - (BX 36/36E) These CPUs (Central Processing Units) are also known as MPU (Multi-Processing Units) because of the communication capabilities. https://www.accautomation.ca
