Description
This video tutorial introduces the use of openSYDE COMM Datapools when programming an application in Structured Text (ST) according to IEC61131-3. With an example, the programming of CAN communication between a controller and a temperature sensor using the openSYDE COM engine and COMM datapools is shown step by step. Code generated from openSYDE and its integration into the own application, as well as the display of variables at runtime of the application with openSYDE dashboards and in parallel with logi.CAD IDE are demonstrated.
Objectives
The participant
- Knows the required components and tools for programming an application according to IEC61131-3
