Structured Text Math Instructions in Cscape’s IEC Editor
For some Automation Engineers - one of the key advantages of the Structured Text (ST) languages is its handling of math instructions. This gives ST the ability to elegantly and efficiently handle even complex algorithms with minimal lines of code. In this Livestream we will perform an extensive review of ST Math instructions - including
Floating Point PID Control in Cscape’s IEC Editor
For Machine Control and especially Process Control applications - PID is a basic building block for Automation Engineers. We have covered PID extensively on this channel - but not specifically as it relates to Cscape’s IEC Editor. The Cscape IEC editor offers some unique capabilities over its Advanced Ladder option - namely Floating Point PID.
Creating UDFBs in Cscape's IEC Editor
Structured Text is one of the most popular IEC languages - and for good reason. It’s Text based programming style is attractive to a number of programmers - especially those who are already familiar with languages like Java, Python and C. And even with traditional programmers - Structured Text’s elegant handling of instruction loops as
Creating UDFBs in Cscape's IEC Editor
August will be IEC month - as we present five different topics all using the Cscape IEC logic editor. In this first installment - we demonstrate how to create and use User-Defined Function Blocks (UDFBs) in Cscape using IEC. While UDFBs are a topic we have covered for Advanced Ladder - there are important differences
Using the Banner GPS Receiver with Horner OCS
Why would you interface a GPS receiver with a Horner OCS All-in-one Controller? There are several reasons, actually. For outdoor installations where accurate timekeeping for data logging and scheduling functions are important - a GPS provides a highly accurate real-time clock source. For mobile equipment - a GPS is a terrific way to provide detailed
Using the Horner Wi-Fi Adapter
There are a variety of wireless networks used in industry today - with 900MHz networks being the most popular due to their range and immunity from interference. But Wi-Fi also has a place - especially when it comes to monitoring machine operation via a web browser - using a feature like Horner’s WebMI for OCS.
