TAGS: electronics; automation; industrial; PLC; OpenPLC; FactoryIO; Modbus
Why I Did This
In previous articles, I've mentioned training and experiencing PLC development using OpenPLC and FactoryIO. In this demo, I using FBD to program FactoryIO's filling tank scene.
FactoryIO's 'Filling Tank' scene, programmed through OpenPLC.
Highlights
In this scene, I use FBD language to program the filling tank scene. The scene has a tank that fills up and drains with timers and buttons; I also use a set-reset latch with a multiplexer to switch between showing the fill and empty times on a display.
