If you are interested in a powerful but inexpensive PLC, you might want to consider the PLCnext Starterkit. If you haven’t already done so, download and install PLCnext Engineer which is the programming software for the PLCnext Starterkit. You can easily download PLCnext Engineer by following this link: https://www.phoenixcontact.com/en-us/products/programming-plcnext-engineer-1046008 The first thing to do is start PLCnext Engineer. We’re going to accomplish two things in this video. 1) First, we’ll create a New Project. 2) Second, we will start establishing Ethernet communication between the PLCnext Starterkit and a laptop or personal computer by configuring the laptop Ethernet port and setting it to a fixed IP address. 1) Let’s start a New Project. Starting a new project is just like opening a new document in Word. So, to start a new project, click File, and then click on New Project from the drop-down menu. A Folder called Project will appear under a window called PLANT. By default, when a NEW project is opened, PLCnext Engineer automatically assigns the name PROJECT1.pcwex. That name can be changed at any time. First of all, we need to include details about the PLCnext Starterkit Controller. Secondly, we need to ensure that Ethernet communication is properly established between the PLC and the laptop. Thirdly, we will include information about the I/O modules currently mounted on the Starterkit. This third step is referred to as Configuring the I/O and will be explained in the next video of this series. Under Components on the right side of your screen, drill down through the Network folder to the Controller folder. As your mouse hovers over each Controller listed, more details about the controller will be shown. Be sure to select the controller that matches yours. Note that Article Number and Order Number are the same things. Once you select your controller, drag it over and drop it into the Project folder. 2) Let’s move on to our second task and begin the process of establishing communication between the PLC and your laptop. Connect the Ethernet Cable between the PLC and the laptop. The PLC and the laptop communicate to each other via the Ethernet Cable if the respective IP addresses are set correctly. So, our first job is to set the IP addresses. Let’s start with the laptop. We’re going to go through the steps to set the laptop Ethernet Port IP address to 192.168.1.1. Click on the Microsoft symbol. Click on Settings. Click on Network and Internet. Choose Ethernet from the choices listed. Over the right-hand side of the screen, choose Change adapter options. ============================= PLCnext Tutorial for Beginners - Part 1 | What’s in the Starterkit Box? https://realpars.com/plcnext-starterkit PLCnext Tutorial for Beginners - Part 3 | Configure the I/O Modules https://realpars.com/phoenix-contact-plcnext PLCnext Tutorial for Beginners - Part 4 | How to Easily Create Ladder Logic Programs https://realpars.com/plcnext-ladder-logic ============================= Missed our most recent videos?
