BRX Do-More PLC Analog IO – System Configuration

We will now configure and operate Analog inputs and outputs on our BRX Do-More controller. One of the features of the BRX Series PLC is the ability to expand its capability to fit your application. This is easily done by “snap-on” modules that will fit on the side of the BRX MPU (Multi-Processor Unit). As we have seen before in the BRX PLC System Configuration post we can add additional discrete inputs and outputs. Automation Direct now offers Analog Voltage and Analog Current input and output modules. These modules come as an 8 point channel unit. There is also a 4 point thermocouple input module also available. We will be configuring, scaling, and programming the Analog input and output Voltage modules for our BRX 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-analog-io-system-configuration 00:00 BRX Do-More PLC Analog IO – System Configuration 00:20 Configuring a BRX Do-More Series PLC 04:43 Hardware Module Installation – BRX Do-More Analog 07:36 Sample PLC Program – BRX Do-More Analog Setup Previously in this BRX Series PLC, we looked at the following: System Hardware http://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-system-hardware System Hardware Video https://youtu.be/wSYgY09VYeA Unboxing Video https://youtu.be/-Tf8m3BqzPo Installing the Software http://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-installing-the-software Installing the Software Video https://youtu.be/iFI1ebP8Zkk Establishing Communication http://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-establishing-communication https://youtu.be/shU5g8MA8VM Updating Firmware Video https://youtu.be/gsfcGGK4-Sk Numbering Systems and Addressing http://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-numbering-systems-and-addressing https://youtu.be/-GiKnIDycKY First Program http://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-first-program https://youtu.be/ANSNhdlm_Ao Monitoring and Testing the Program http://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-monitoring-and-testing-the-program https://youtu.be/gv3d0vozxac Online Editing and Debug Mode http://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-online-editing-and-debug-mode Online Editing and Debug Mode Video https://youtu.be/77pemu3zXrE Timers http://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-timers Timers Video https://youtu.be/0qU9kgunPi4 Counters http://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-counters Counters Video https://youtu.be/k84VQy8ifgg High Speed IO http://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-high-speed-io High Speed IO Video https://youtu.be/6B5hp_Ri0Ls BRX PLC Compare Instructions http://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-compare-instructions Compare Instructions Video https://youtu.be/CIDVcM0zszE BRX PLC Math Instructions http://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-math-instructions Math Instructions Video https://youtu.be/ZllosAv0DyY Program Control http://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-program-control Program Control Video https://youtu.be/1fewvxxUyW4 Shifting Instructions http://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-shifting-instructions Shifting Instructions Video https://youtu.be/FVTxIl8VKmg Drum Instruction http://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-drum-instruction Drum Instruction Video https://youtu.be/ILokPN1Aadk Serial Communication – Modbus RTU to Solo Process Temperature Controller http://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-serial-communication-modbus-rtu-to-solo-process-temperature-controller Serial Communication Video https://youtu.be/PndrIfBImGQ Data Logging http://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-data-logging Data Logging Video https://youtu.be/OBv7XJ9mJeA Email – Text SMS Messaging Gmail http://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-email-text-sms-messaging-gmail Email Video https://youtu.be/0L74qOwwWAE AdvancedHMI Communication – Modbus TCP http://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-advancedhmi-communication-modbus-tcp AdvancedHMI Communication Video https://youtu.be/1TjsdLwTKM0 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 Instructons 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 the 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. http://www.accautomation.ca
