[VIDEO] PLC communication with an HMI (Allen Bradley + InTouch)

Hi, in this video I will briefly show you how to do a Communication PLC with a HMI.

I will use a PLC of Allen Bradley, We are going to communicate the Allen Bradley emulator, the Emulete 500, which could be a Micro Logic or an SLC, etc.

For this class, I will use the RS-Link Classic to transform the data from the PLC into OPC data, and finally we will pull this information to the WonderWhereInTouch through its driver called FC Gateway.

To quickly visualize how this communication is done, I will show you a small diagram where we have the PLC, , rslogix 500 plus the Emulete 500.

This information is then sent via RS links, which transforms this information into OPC communication.

This information is sent to a program called system management console where the FC Gateway is installed.

Finally, that information is sent to In Touch. This sounds complicated, but it's not; on the contrary, it's quite simple, and I'll show you how in this video.

We will see the steps through a basic example of starting and stopping a motor in the following video where I will show how PLC communication with an HMI is carried out.
