In industrial automation systems, stable communication between the touch screen and PLC is crucial for the normal operation of equipment. The Weintek touch screen, known for its cost-effectiveness, and the Mitsubishi FX3U PLC, recognized for its stability, have become the preferred combination for many automation projects. However, in actual wiring and parameter configuration, even a … Read more
Many believe that the electrical automation industry is favorable, but in reality, it is quite challenging. Let’s start with the essential skill – PLC programming. PLC, the brain of industrial control devices, is essentially standard equipment. However, this brain, like humans, has a “nationality” distinction, which for PLCs means – brand. Each brand develops its … Read more
The programming content of PLC switches varies among different machine tool manufacturers, but the signal addresses are universal. The above examples are for reference only.
The configuration software for Mitsubishi touch screens is: GT Designer3 This is the screen creation software used for the GOT2000 series and GOT1000 series. This software allows for project creation, simulation, and data transfer between the GOT and other devices. Here, we will directly explain the editing of the configuration interface. 1. Create a button … Read more
