Handy material to develop an industrial project using Arduino
#0 Handy material to develop an industrial project using Arduino
This course assumes you already know what Arduino is. It focuses on how to use Arduino boards and Arduino-based PLCs in industrial environments, working faster and with fewer errors.
Using a few simple and free tools, you will be able to develop an Arduino project efficiently. Time in an industrial project is money, so we will show you how to avoid repeating work.
- Check and evaluate the different variables and signals connected to the PLC with a graphical interface.
- Use examples already developed, so you don’t have to start from scratch. There are many valuable examples to build your projects on.
- Use libraries for your standard functions.
(Remember: for us, a PLC works like an individual Arduino board. Our PLCs use original Arduino boards inside, so you can practice the examples in this course using original Arduino boards).
Install the following material on your computer before starting chapter #1.
Using a simple graphical platform you can display the PLC status easily and in a friendly way. You can also use it as a SCADA in your project and integrate it as a Human-Machine-Interface. Simple, easy and free. We recommend an Open Source platform called PROCESSING. (The Arduino IDE is based on this platform, so you will find it very familiar).
Use the original Arduino IDE to program your PLC. Review the different examples from the Arduino IDE so you don’t have to start your project from scratch. Select the Arduino board on the right USB port, where it is connected to the computer.
Configuring the different inputs and outputs of the Industrial Shields PLC is easy.
You can also use the library from GitHub and forget about checking the pinout. See how to install the library in our blog.
