How to Program Outseal Arduino PLC - Getting Started is the first tutorial in a series that will introduce you to the programming of Outseal PLC with a ladder diagram. Outseal PLC is open-source hardware that is programmed with ladder logic in Outseal studio. Arduino Nano is used with other modules and components in the practical demonstration of the different instruction blocks.

Contact are inputs instructions in a ladder diagram. While relays or coils are output instructions. The normally open contact, normally close contact, normal coil and inverse coil are explained in this video using the Outseal Studio simulation of a ladder diagram and online mode demonstration with the Arduino Nano PLC circuit connection.

The compare instructions in Outseal Studio are equal, not equal, greater than or equal, greater than, less than or equal, less than, limit, Tmatch and Dmatch. They are used to compare two or more variables or constants to determine a required action. This video demonstrates how to use them to sequentially turn on indicator lamps.

The Outseal Arduino PLC is programmed and scaled to reading the analog values of a potentiometer, LM35 temperature sensor and a 4-20mA temperature transmitter through a 4-20mA current to voltage converter module. the value of the potentiometer operates for relay outputs of the PLC. The converter module zero and span calibration was carried out before being connected to a temperature controller circuit.

All Outseal Arduino PLCs are Modbus Clients (Slave) by default. The Outseal Arduino PLC Relays, Switches, Memory Bits, Analog inputs and Holding Registers are mapped to the required Modbus Address and are accessed by a Modbus Server (Server). The VTScada Light has free 50 tags licence. VTScada is the Modbus server where it performed Modbus discrete output coils (relays) read, discrete input contacts (switches) read and discrete output coils (memory bits) read/write on indicators turn on sequences from video #10 on this series.

The Outseal Arduino PLC was interfaced to a VTScada system (free licence) with a TTL to RS485 Converter Module and a USB to RS485 Converter Module for industrial Modbus RTU/Serial communication up to a distance of 1 km. The Outseal PLC was programmed to read the temperature value of an LM35 temperature sensor, and turn On or Off an indicator lamp depending on the low and high setpoint. The raw value and scaled value of the temperature reading as well as the setpoints were displayed on the VTScada user interface. The required setpoints can also be adjusted from the VTScada interface.

Outseal Arduino PLC was programmed to read the DS3231 Real-Time Clock module and display accurate dates and times on the HMI Modbus App with the HC05 Bluetooth module.
The TMatch and DMatch instructions in Outseal Studio allow set date and time to be compared with the actual date & time which then initiates the enabling and disabling of an output device.

#plc #arduinoPLC #outseal #input_output

Outseal Arduino PLC Nano inputs and outputs can be extended from just 8 digital inputs, 8 digital outputs and 2 analog inputs by connecting more Arduino Nanos with their I2C SDA and SCL pins. The PLC program resides in the master PLC and accesses the inputs/outputs of the slave PLC.

#arduinoplc #outsealplc #bootloader
The current version of Outseal Studio can only program Arduino nano with the new Optiboot bootloader. If your nano has the old bootloader, you can download the improved Optiboot bootloader for Outseal PLC nano from the Outseal download page and burn it into the nano with the USBasp AVR Programmer and AVRDUDESS.

Please I would really like you to answer this question. What are the potentials of embedded systems in Nigeria seeing that we have less manufacturers here.... I really want to go into the field instead of web design, or software engineering?

There is great potential for embedded systems in Nigeria currently on small scale. It seems to be an uncharted territory that mainly revolves around student projects. There is a great prospect for startups with innovative ideas even though the Nigerian economy is largely in favour of importation from China.

If you are passionate about embedded systems, go for it but think globally. Do not allow the current state of the Nation to deter you. Who knows what invention you might come up with as you study along?

#servo #arduinoPLC #outseal #servomotor #servomotors

The SETPWM instruction in Outseal Studio sets the channel, frequency, and duty cycle of the PWM output of the Outseal Arduino PLCs. The SG90 servo motor is controlled by setting the SETPWM instruction channel, frequency and duty cycle. The SG90 servo motor was then programmed to operate automatically.

#modbus #arduinoPLC #outseal #flprog #modbuslcd

The Modbus LCD HMI provides Outseal PLCs with a mean to monitor various operation parameters through its Modbus interface. An Arduino Nano is programmed as a Modbus master to receive the PLC operating parameters through the Modbus RTU/serial RS485 interface and display the PLC parameters on an I2C LCD. Another Arduino Nano is then programmed as an Outseal PLC Nano Modbus slave and connected to the Modbus LCD Arduino Nano to test the operation of the Modbus LCD.

#esp8266 #arduinoPLC #outseal #flprog #nextion #hmi #wemos #modbus

The Nextion Display connected to the Wemos D1 mini ESP8266 wirelessly controls an Outseal Arduino Nano PLC with the DT-06 WiFi module. A FLProg program was written for the Wemos D1 mini ESP8266 to control the attributes of the Nextion display. The Wemos D1 mini ESP8266 inbuilt WIFI module, being the Modbus master, communicates with the DT-06 WIFI module connected to the Outseal Arduino PLC using the Modbus RTU over TCP protocol. The Outseal Arduino Nano PLC is a Modbus RTU slave by default. A simple demonstration counter program written for the Outseal Arduino Nano PLC is controlled by the Nextion HMI touch screen.

#esp8266 #e32 #ebyte #cdebyte #lora #iot #remotexy #flprog

Three EBYTE E32-433T20DT LoRa modules were used to build a LoRa network that connects to a cloud server. The LoRa network is made up of a DS18B20 temperature end node with an Arduino Nano and the EBYTE E32-433T20DT LoRa Module, a relay end node with an Arduino Nano and the EBYTE E32-433T20DT LoRa Module, and a master device with a Wemos D1 mini ESP8266 and the EBYTE E32-433T20DT LoRa Module and an LCD. The Wemos D1 mini ESP8266 LoRa master device receives the temperature readings periodically from the DS18B20 temperature end node and sends it through the remotexy IoT cloud to a mobile phone. The relay module is also operated from the remotexy mobile phone app through the Wemos D1 mini ESP8266 LoRa master device. Programming of the master device and end nodes was done with FLProg.
