PLC to PC Communication using USB

Hello everyone,

Can someone help me to program to make communication between a PLC (Do more automation direct BX-DM1E-18ED23-D) and PC using USB cable or Ethernet.

Thank you,
Kalai
 
What is the purpose of communicating with a PC. Is the PC to become an HMI for monitoring and control purposes? Programming changes?
Yes, PC will be an HMI for monitoring and controlling. I haven't started the programing part yet and I need the programming details from scratch
 
Use Ethernet, the DM1E comes with it and will support Modbus (TCP, RTU & ASCII) & Ethernet/IP.
If you try USB you will have to protocol convert USB to ethernet using something like a RedLion DA10D or DA30D and writing your own conversion mapping.
Once you are on Modbus TCP or Ethernet/IP you can use either a PC/HMI combination or a straight HMI for display only purposes.
 
I would implement modbus TCP (ethernet) for that.
Most PLCs support modbus, or a communication interface can be installed for that kind of interface. Or at least a modbus RTU RS-485 interface.
 
Hi
U can establish PC-PLC communications via Ethernet or USB cable.
Ethernet
  1. Connect your PC to the controller using an Ethernet cable.
  2. Access the controller's Ethernet settings by opening Uniapps.
  3. Check under Network> Ethernet to see the controller's IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
    Note that you can edit these values by touching a field to open the keypad.

    1. In UniLogic, on the Solution Explorer, click PLC Communications>Panel. The settings here must match the controller's settings.
    2. Click the PLC tab on the program ribbon, and then click Communication.
    3. Select Ethernet, and enter the controllers address; you may need to click the refresh icon in order to establish communications.
    4. Click OK.





    USB
    1. Directly connect your PC to the controller using a mini B USB cable.
    2. Click the PLC tab on the program ribbon, and then click Communication.
    3. Select USB; the network Discovery utility will begin to search for UniStream devices.
    4. Click the desired device to establish communications.
