I'm working on a project to build a controller for an industrial robot arm motoman up 6. I would love to see suggestions. Ben looking at robodk it's a bit expensive. The maker of ar4 robot arm says his software will work. I'm thinking ros...
I received the Seeed studio's NVIDIA Jatson nano based development PC today morning a third price for Experimenting with Industrial Automation design contest. I already tried the Ubuntu inbuilt image with JATPACK-SDK.

Although the M251 does not have Inputs/Outputs like other series of the PLCs, the device has expansion connectors to improve the capabilities. In this learn...
Welcome back, automation enthusiasts! In our previous blogs, we explored the components of this project and how to set up the HMIST6 series HMI. Today, we'll put the spotlight on the Schneider Harmony Hub and its dynamic partnership with the ZBR...
Welcome back to our blog series! Today, we'll take a step back from specific applications and dig into the heart of the ZBRT2 system. We'll dissect all those mysterious (and exciting!) components you listed and then walk you through the world of Schn...
In the previous blogs I have mentioned about the project I am doing for Experimenting with Industrial Automation in detail and getting started with the kit. Now in this blog I will mention the technical details of the project. This Blog mainly has tw...
In this blog I show a resume around the learning path to use the Schneider Electric ecosystem. The journey has been amazing because in the past I have only used simulators to understand the ladder logic. I never had the opportunity to use a physical ...
Introduction
In the previous blogs I have already mentioned the requirements to create this project and explained the official Industrial Automation kit from Schneider Electric. Now it is time to actually get started with the kit.
I am someone ...
Thanks to rscasny, kmikemoo and members who helped with the software licensing issue. I got the license without any problems to test the HMIST6200 in a virtual environment first.
The EcoStruxure Operator Terminal Expert allows the des...
Training Bay Ventilation Automation
Because the upper half of my Training Bay walls are clad in metal, I was very curious how well the wireless communication of the ZBRN2 Harmony Hub, ZBRT2 transmitter modules and ZBRRH receiver module would work.&nb...
Welcome to the first chapter of Exploring Smart factory automation blog series, where we'll be learning about the world of smart factory automation using the ZBRT2 ecosystem. Buckle up, as we unlock a treasure trove of industrial applic...

In order to extend the capabilities of the Schneider Electric industrial architecture I added the Harmony Hub to the project. The Harmony Hub, which is the ZBRN2 version, has a Serial connection using the RS485 standard, consequently, a ModBus ...
The Modicon M251 has powerful features to connect each element of automation and control remote actuators or take information from remote sensors. In other hand, this does not mean that is local control is not allowed. The device takes advantages of ...
The first step in the automation journey is designing the process to control. For this challenge, I decided that a conveyor is one of the first concepts in the automation courses, consequently, this blog brings the situation about the academic mechan...

Unboxing the kit:
The kit arrived today.
I downloaded all of the part documents and the control software.
The first thing I'll do is wire the components up on a board using some DIN rail
so I can try out the PLC software and make sure all the c...
