frecha (Customer) asked a question.
Hi,
I'm a new Click PLC user and need help creating a simple program. Here are my details:
Hardware:
- PLC: BX-DM1E-10ED23-D (Click PLUS)
- Temperature module: Eujgoov PTA8C04 — 4ch PT100 RTD RS485 Modbus RTU
- PT100 probe: Tri-Clamp waterproof RTD probe for measuring hot sauce fill temperature (up to 200°F)
What I need the program to do:
1. Read temperature from PTA8C04 via RS485 Port 2 (Modbus RTU, 9600 baud, slave address 1, holding register 40001 — temperature x10 in Celsius)
2. Convert the value to Fahrenheit
3. Store the Fahrenheit value in DS10 (so I can read it via Modbus TCP from my HMI software)
4. Enable Modbus TCP server on the ethernet port (port 502) so my software can:
- Read DS10 for fill temperature
- Write to Y1 coil to open/close a filler solenoid valve
That's all the program needs to do. No other logic required.
Can someone please share a working .csp project file or step-by-step instructions?
Thank you!
What do you have now?
Why do you need a PLC? What is your HMI software running on?
The BX-DM1E-10ED23-D is a Do-More, not a Click model. Could you verify which PLC you have?
It also sounds like you have a 2nd controller somewhere that you want to interface this to? Why not just add an RTD input to that controller, or convert the logic from the other one over to your new PLC and do everything in one place?
