This is a standalone application that will run on your PC and interact with your PLC (Automation Direct, Allen Bradley, Siemens and Mitsubishi), you will be given a link and step by step procedure on how to download the application (download via the internet only, no shipping), register your product and then be given an application key.

 

You will need a one of the supported PLCs (our trainers work great) at minimum you will need 4 inputs and/or have the ability to wire inputs to your PLC (momentary and latching), the intent of our HMI is to familiarize you with HMI applications and how they will interact with your PLC and how you control the applications using the HMI. This is a fixed application and cannot be edited, but the PLC program can be edited if you choose, both will be provided. We have documented the programs very well, so you will also get the benefit of how the HMI program interacts with the PLC program on every level, this is not a lesson on how to program the PLC or HMI, but does cover a lot of needed information for the person looking how to advanced their skills in PLC programming and HMI interaction.

All HMI's are similar in handling of the tag's and how they communicate (interact) to the PLC, no matter if you are using (or plan to use) Wonderware, RSView or Peak HMI this will give you general knowledge of HMI's and more advanced PLC programming, see our store for PLC programming lessons. Once you download the application and get it running, just explore the two programs and experiment... you can not hurt it but you can learn a lot!

 

There are two included applications

 

The Pump and Tank.....

In this application you will monitor the drum level, gas valve, gas gun, start/stop the boiler and more….

Follow along with the program, if you are using MicroLogix 1100, 1200 with a side HMI port, 1400 or 1500 with a LRP you can be online with the Ethernet or port two (RSLinx and RSLogix) at the same time as the HMI runs on your PC, if you are using a PLC with a single com port you will need to view the program off line as both (RSLogix and the HMI) cannot communicate on the same port at the same time. You will need a standard 1761-CBL-PM02 cable for communication to a MicroLogix, SC09 for the Mitsubishi FX, PPI cable for Siemens and the D2-DSCBL for the Automation Direct line

The CPU's with ports will make the application better to understand and much nicer to work on when it comes to an HMI

If you are looking to move beyond the basic PLC programming then this is a great tool for you....

email us if you have any questions info@plctrainer.net  after the key is issued there will not be any refunds so PLEASE ask questions before you make the purchase.... that is what we are here for (to answer your questions)
