I2C Protocol Application: Sensor Interface and Data Reading I2C Protocol Application: Sensor Interface and Data Reading Hello everyone, I am Daodao. Today, let’s talk about the I2C protocol, which many sensors use to communicate with microcontrollers. Although it only uses two wires, it can connect multiple devices, making it a master of saving wires. However, … Read more
// Network 1: Start Conveyor Belt LD I0.0 // Start Button S Q0.0 // Conveyor Motor // Network 2: Stop Conveyor Belt LD I0.1 // Stop Button R Q0.0 // Conveyor Motor This code segment shows that I0.0 and I0.1 are inputs (like buttons), while Q0.0 is the output (like the conveyor motor). When the … Read more
This design guide discusses how to design RS-485 interface circuits. The necessity of balanced transmission line standards is discussed, along with an example of process control design. The article also covers line load, signal attenuation, failure protection, and current isolation under different headings. 1. Why Balanced Transmission Line Standards Are Needed This article focuses on … Read more
Setting Up Fanuc Robot as a Profibus Slave Ensure that the Profibus option is installed on the robot side (check the Fanuc robot communication options in the MENU settings). The PLC uses OpcOn (Bosch Rexroth) as the master. Connect the purple 9-pin cable to the PLC and configure the communication settings. MENU Settings Profibus Others … Read more
PROFIBUS is an international, open, and device-independent fieldbus standard. The transmission speed of PROFIBUS can be selected within the range of 9.6kbaud to 12Mbaud, and when the bus system starts, all devices connected to the bus should be set to the same speed. It is widely used in manufacturing automation, process automation, and other fields … Read more

1. Overview This article introduces the configuration of FANUC Robot Profibus communication as a slave, with a master station being a PLC that has Profibus DP functionality. The main steps are as follows: 2. Operation Steps 1. Confirm the Robot Profibus Functionality First, confirm whether the robot is equipped with the Profibus functionality. Select the … Read more
The plug and terminal resistor play a very important role in Profibus communication. They are very simple to use and do not require many complex settings; however, due to their simplicity, many engineers overlook some details during use, leading to various communication issues.(1) Structure and Simple Usage of Profibus Plugs Figure 1: Structure of Profibus … Read more
1 Characteristics of PROFIBUS-DP PROFIBUS-DP uses physical layer, data link layer, and user interface for high-speed data transmission at the field level. The master station periodically reads input information from the slave stations and sends output information to the slaves. The bus cycle time must be shorter than the master program cycle time. In addition, … Read more
The fieldbus is the “nervous system” of industrial automation, and PROFIBUS is the “highway” within it. This article will provide a detailed introduction to configuring and optimizing PROFIBUS in Siemens PLC from a practical perspective, helping you build a stable and efficient communication network. Understanding PROFIBUS: The “Highway” of the Industry PROFIBUS (Process Field Bus) … Read more
