Dear Sir,
I have the VersaMax Micro PLC IC200UDR005-DK with 28 Points and I have got the IC200CBL500A USB to RS-232/RJ-45 Cable for this PLC delivered to me from plccable.com. Please Sir, which free open source softwares allows one to connect online with this PLC to write relay ladder logic and function block programs to this PLC. And sir, which free open source softwares allows one to design a scada interface for this PLC? One GE Proficy Machine Edition 7.0 software that I got online and try to use with this PLC is always saying
Debugging Message:
Service did not save LanService all the time when I click the online/offline icon on the PME 7.0 Software to connect to this PLC.

Olakunle Olafiranye.

 

There are no widely recognized open-source software tools that natively support programming GE VersaMax PLCs. You can use open-source platforms like OpenPLC Project.

 

Thank you @bidrohini, I will try out the OpenPLC Project. I hope the steps to use their OpenPLC Editor for programming GE VersaMax PLCs will not be very hard to follow.

OpenPLC Runtime is officially supported on the following platforms:

• Arduino Uno / Nano / Leonardo / Micro
• Arduino Mega / Due
• Arduino Nano Every / IoT / BLE
• Arduino RB2040 Connect
• Arduino Mkr / Zero / WiFi
• Arduino Pro (Machine Control and EDGE)
• Controllino Maxi / Automation / Mega / Mini
• Productivity Open P1AM
• ESP8266 (nodemcu)
• ESP32
• Raspberry Pi 2 / 3 / 4
• PiXtend
• UniPi Industrial Platform
• Neuron PLC
• FreeWave Zumlink
• FreeWave ZumIQ
• Windows (generic target as a soft-PLC)
• Linux (generic target as a soft-PLC)

 

Yes, it's true. These are the Microcontrollers that are written on the OpenPLC Editor that the Editor support. Luckily for me, I have one Arduino Uno Board with the Ethernet Shield. I have been trying to write OpenPLC Ladder Logic and Function Block Diagrams to the Arduino Uno Board but this hasn't been successful. I will try to follow some YouTube Video Demos later.
