We report on the successful implementation of a monitoring project using our MELARECON and the SolidBlue platform. In addition, the controller takes on control tasks and uses CANopen as a bus system to connect a wide variety of sub-distributions. By using schedulers and production templates, the system can now automatically make the appropriate preparations for the successful start of production.
In this post, I would like to work with you to complete the dashboard from the previous post in this series. I will show you how to create process images and integrate them into our already created dashboard page.
New application scenarios are made possible by implementing the S7 protocol. Target and actual values can now also be exchanged with a SCADA system or HMI device. The data provided on the S7 side can be configured via an interface.
In this post I will show you how to create a visualization on SolidBlue. I use my test setup from the previous posts in this series.
SolidBlue makes it possible to view and operate the screen of connected MELARECON devices live. Above all, this supports the service staff in helping the customer on site. In SolidBlue’s latest update, screen mirroring has been revamped with new features.
In this third part of the series “Cloud IO!” an example shows which security measures are available. The entry shows you how an abort in communication can lead to an error message. It also shows how you can parameterize safe input states in the error state.
In this article I would like to show how to set up a trend recording with a MELARECON IO. I also connect the device to SolidBlue and show what additional possibilities this intelligent I/O module can offer.
In this second part of the series “Cloud IO!” an example shows how you can use Cloud IO as physical hardware. The article shows you how you can transfer the state of a button to SolidBlue and use it on another MELARECON device as a digital input for a lighting group of a MELARECON Lighting.
In this article I would like to show how to use the MELARECON IO as a complete CANopen node with a PLC. This is illustrated by a practical example and everyone is welcome to take part in.
With the MELARECON it is possible to exchange any data regardless of manufacturer and location. Furthermore, these data points can be made available to the peripherals, which means that they behave like inputs or outputs of an I/O module. In this first post I would like to explain the settings and options in more detail.
