DIY Arduino PLC - How to Build an Arduino Based PLC

[@ruslan.zhumabai]

Good job 👏. How much time did you spend to do this? I mean in proteus. What about think which is better do like this project in proteus or kicad?

[@engineeringmadeeasyingme6819]

Thanks for the compliment. I Haven't used kicad that much so can't speak to that. However with proteus it's pretty straight forward within 2hour you should be able to implement it using the auto routing functionality. The time consuming part is the circuit design planing which in my opinion has nothing to do with the PCB design software. If you have a clear layout plan you will spend less time implementing it in the PCB software. Hope this helps. Thank

what is input range of arduino PLC? means can i connect directly 12 volt sensor to it?

[@engineeringmadeeasyingme6819]

Yes, the Input can handle 12V directly. Thanks for your question

[@DuroLabs85]

Hey, how did you export the codes from the OPEN PLC software to build folder in your drive can you tell me plz.

[@engineeringmadeeasyingme6819]

You need to connect the board to your computer, then click on the Arduino Icon in OpenPLC editor. this will open the 'Upload to Arduino Board' window, In this window. 1. Select your board type (mine is Nano Board but Flashed with Uno Boot Loader so I selected Arduino Uno) 2. Select the correct com Port your Board is connected to. 3. After Click on 'Upload' button. Kindly check the last part of the video for this step (around 18:50 play time) Hope this answers your question. thanks

can you draw the circuit through altium software / my Proteus version is low so it can't be opened / thanks

[@engineeringmadeeasyingme6819]

Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately I don't have altium currently. However I will try get one and share it's circuit with you.

@@engineeringmadeeasyingme6819 hope you make more videos on how to use this plc_arduino (eg: using sensors, controlling motors)

Hi, I have a question regarding opto isolation, does the buck converter in your design provide this?

[@engineeringmadeeasyingme6819]

if I understand your question correctly, the Opto-isolators are only at the input pin to allow a wide rang of input voltage form say 5V to 24V, it also protect the arduino input pins. the Buck converter converts the 12V input supply to 5V for the arduino board since the converter is a module type, I don't really know if it has onboard Opto-isolator . guess this helps thanks for your question.

[@markdevlin653]

Hi, thanks for getting back to me, what I meant in my original question is, if the buck converter doesn’t have an isolated output, then there will be no galvanic isolation provided by the opto isolators because the input and output of the opto isolators are using the same ground point.

[@engineeringmadeeasyingme6819]

@@markdevlin653 oh Ok I get you now, I didn't consider that in this design will try and do that in the next version. thanks for the info I really appreciate.

[@markdevlin653]

Hi, no probs, You could consider using b2405s 24 V to 5V with isolated output.

Which software are you used for plc programming?

[@engineeringmadeeasyingme6819]

OpenPLC autonomylogic.com/ thanks

[@ientucongnghiep2761]

Why did I load the program and error, even though it was installed exactly like in the video

[@engineeringmadeeasyingme6819]

Thanks for your question. Do you have the error doing the Upload process or whiles the code is compiling? if possible, kindly share the error message. thanks

Please let me know how to get the gerber file to order JLCPCB.

Interesting class❤❤❤

[@marcosolaro9328]

Interesting, but i'm trying to buy the same components and i don't find the reference of 'V bost IM130731001' , 'TBLOCK-I2' , 'TBLOCK-I3' and the 'G5CLE-14-DC5' .You will help me a lot if you put the links to buying or the commercial references. Thanks a lot for share your knowledge!!

[@engineeringmadeeasyingme6819]

You are welcome and thanks too for your comment. kindly check, I have added the Links of the components to the video description now. Hope it helps.

[@sadranyi]

please send me one of the boards

Yh bro well noted.👍
