For more exciting content, follow “PLC Enthusiast” Often, technicians encounter the issue: why can’t my touch screen communicate with the PLC? For example, here are two common problems: 1. Weintek touch screen cannot communicate with Siemens PLC, always indicating no response from the PLC. How should it be set up? Solution Approach: Ensure you set … Read more
It is common for technicians to encounter the issue: why can’t my touch screen communicate with the PLC? Here are two problems that might occur: 1. Weintek Touch Screen Cannot Communicate with Siemens PLC, Always Prompting No Response from PLC. How Should I Set It Up? Solution approach: You need to set the same baud … Read more
The following example connects the MT6103IP touch screen to a Panasonic PLC; other brands of PLCs can be referenced. 1. Determine the connection scheme as follows: 2. Hardware wiring Below are the wiring terminals of the touch screen, which has 9 pins, allowing for one group of RS232 and another group of RS485. 1) RS232 … Read more
In microcontroller development, protocols such as UART, I2C, and RS485 are commonly used, and understanding them can be somewhat ambiguous. This article organizes these concepts. The reading time is approximately 10 minutes. UART Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter The UART port refers to a type of physical interface (hardware). UART is an asynchronous, full-duplex serial bus. It … Read more
In the previous article “UART Communication Interface Protocol – UART (I) Protocol Basics”, we briefly and meticulously describedUART configuration items and the signal timing of the communication process. This article will continue to introduce some interface specifications used by theUART interface under different electrical characteristics. 1. Introduction In fact,UART only defines the signal timing without … Read more
UART, I2C, RS485… These communication protocols are commonly used, but their explanations can be ambiguous. I feel it’s necessary to organize them to consolidate and differentiate. The article is a bit long, so I suggest saving it for later reference. UART stands for Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter. The UART port refers to a type of physical … Read more
