BRX Do-More PLC Controller Program Control

We will now look at program control in the BRX Do-More controller. The program control instructions will allow us to specify what parts of the logic get solved and when this happens. This will control how the PLC will scan and solve your logic in your program using a synchronous PLC Scan. Understanding the PLC program scan will explain the synchronous and asynchronous program scanning. https://accautomation.ca/understanding-the-plc-program-scan/ Ladder logic programs get solved left to right, top to bottom. The result of the rung before is available for the next rung. Using programs, tasks, and subroutines in our BRX Do-More Series PLC we can divide up our program into smaller segments. This will help when we troubleshoot the system in the field as the system integrator. Let’s look at some samples of each of the above-mentioned methods. More information can be obtained at our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video. https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-program-control 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 Numbering Systems and Addressing https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-numbering-systems-and-addressing Numbering Systems and Addressing Video https://youtu.be/-GiKnIDycKY First Program https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-first-program First Program Video https://youtu.be/ANSNhdlm_Ao Monitoring and Testing the Program https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-monitoring-and-testing-the-program Monitoring and Testing the Program Video https://youtu.be/gv3d0vozxac Online Editing and Debug Mode https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-online-editing-and-debug-mode Online Editing and Debug Mode Video https://youtu.be/77pemu3zXrE Timers https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-timers Timers Video https://youtu.be/0qU9kgunPi4 Counters https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-counters Counters Video https://youtu.be/k84VQy8ifgg High-Speed IO https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-high-speed-io High-Speed IO Video https://youtu.be/6B5hp_Ri0Ls BRX PLC Compare Instructions https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-compare-instructions Compare Instructions Video https://youtu.be/CIDVcM0zszE BRX PLC Math Instructions https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-math-instructions Math Instructions Video https://youtu.be/ZllosAv0DyY 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
