Hi everyone, Today I'd like to introduce you Factory I/O simulation software, you can easyly create your digital twin and test it before make it real or, if you prefer, you can use one of the scenes it has ready to use. You can test the trial version for 31 days. It has multiple drivers connections to several PLC's brands, Siemens PLCSIM or even with Modbus or OPC UA protocols. In next video I will show you how Factory I/O works with an automation controlled a little bit different. In spite of using a PLC I used Nodered working as a PLC running a Grafcet program with Modbus communication protocol. Take a look and let me know what you think about.

Hi everyone, Today I really like to recommend you ubidots.com. It's actually a IoT platform to monitor and control your IoT devices easily. With a very nice interface you can design a dashboard to monitor and control your devices like Arduino, Raspberry pi or even PLC's if you use a gateway as Node-red for example. You can test it with its free subscription with 3 devices and 10 dashboard widgets for free and with very few steps if for sure you can figure out lots of uses. Here you have a video with a very simply home automation I tested using Ubidots and a Node-red front end from sensetecnic, another very nice cloud platform to talk about.

Hi everyone, Siemens Tia portal is one of the best automation tools which integrate PLC, HMI, and Scada Programming besides drives, servos and much more. You can download Tia portal easyly from Siemens web site, then you just have to create and account and you will get a trial for 21 days. https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/109772803/descarga-del-simatic-step-7-incluyendo-safety-y-wincc-v16-de-prueba-(trial)?dti=0&lc=es-WW I recommend to install SIMATIC STEP 7 Basic/Professional, STEP 7 Safety Basic/Advanced y WinCC Professional (trial) and STEP 7 PLCSIM (trial) to try the simulation although you can install SIMATIC S7-PLCSIM Advanced instead, with much more options and which you can even simulate a more realistic S7-1500 controller. https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/109772889/descarga-del-simatic-s7-plcsim-advanced-v3-0-de-prueba-(trial)?dti=0&lc=es-ES Here you have a video where to see how it works:

Hi everyone, As you can notice, Node-red is a very handy tool for IOT, and of course, also for IIOT but we have to think that sometimes we want to publish our dashboards on Internet, to monitoring or to control our IOT appliances. To do so, we could open an Internet external connection (VPN, Port forwarding,...) to our hardware but we actually could use another option, to publish our data through a hardware in the cloud, and then you can access from everywhere. To do such thing you could use AWS IoT Platform, Microsoft Azure IoT Suite, Google Cloud's IoT Platform. ... but finally I've given a try to IBM Watson IoT Platform. Why? Because you can easyly create a free Node-red instance to test it and it works perfectly. Here you can check how it works:

Hi everyone, Modbus is a very used protocol in industrial applications, In fact, there are two types, Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP. Modbus RTU was the first one used, based in RS485 protocol, and there are lots of motor drives and sensors which still are using it. But lately, Modbus TCP is very used because is the same protocol but  implemented over TCP networks and you can find TCP networks everywhere, so the physical layer is very easily ready to use. Lots of PLC's have a Modbus server implemented by default (Scheneider, Wago,...)and you can read and write their internal memory easyly, but others need to implement Modbus protocol adding some program. This is the case of Siemens PLC's, if you want a Modbus server or a client you need to add some blocks that Tia portal has ready to use in its libraries. Let's see how it works...

Hi everyone, I've recently listened on Youtube these interesting videos about Industry 4.0, IIOT and digital transformation explained by Walker Reynolds from Intellic Integration and I really recommend you to check them out, they're worth listening.
