MODBUS TCP communication between C2000 and AH500 in speed mode

Modbus RTU is a famous layer 2 fieldbus protocol used in wide range of applications since the mid 80’s and it has its encapsulation in a Ethernet frame, on TCP/IP protocol of layer 4 – 3 of OSI model. It can be used on Ethernet networks though a logic IP address, Modbus TCP uses the same function codes of RTU. The main advantage is that it is faster and can be used to send or receive data through any Ethernet device such as switches and routers in different topologies like star, tree or other line topologies using TCP/UDP/IP protocols in Layer 3-4. It can be installed in Standard 10, 100 or 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet technology based on copper cables, fiber optics or wireless standards can be used. Number of stations is almost infinite and it can go up to a speed of 1.5 Kbyte per telegram frame.

PC – PLC Communication (PLC control without SCADA)

Is not very common, but sometimes is needed to communicate our PLC´s directly to PC.
The typical applications use to be testing machines, who needs accurate response time, or complex machines who use the PLC to easy control over simple parts of the machine.
And some times (why not) because our PLC’s are cheaper than a digital/analog I/O PCI Cards!

Because of that we create some libraries and examples in the most updated PC programming software to help you on this.

On the following compilation, you will find Examples in Visual Basic, VBNet, and CSharp.
PC-PLC communication Library
Delta DLL library
Delta Comunication Protocol definition

Feel free to download and use them for your applications.

HMI Getting Started

Here it is!
Again thinking in the begginers (and in this case not only them), let me share with you all our kit HMI Getting Started.
For the ones who uses PLC Getting started, and for the other too

HMI used to be more intuitive and user friendly than the PLC, but If you are trying to accomplish a complete program with reciepe, graph pictures etc.. you need some knowledge.
So our intention is give you some tutorials and examples and all the necessary tools to made your learning time as short as possible.

In this HMI getting started you will find:
1. eRemote / eServer Tutorials
2. HMI communication Examples with Delta devices
3. Manuals for DOPA and DOPB
4. Program examples for many features (graph, password, History, Event, Alarm, etc…)

Don’t hesitate to share with everybody.
