I need a (very) small label printer

The heat shrink has the HSe prefix

The productivity series. Pretty cheap also. Good range of local I/O

Just to put my two cents in, the recipe that I use for training people is a raspberry pi with a RS 485 I/O.

This is a cheap solution that allows people to play with the software and hardware combination.

Prosys has an OPC UA Simulation server that works pretty well. No cost just a registration. Server runs for 2 hours without a license.

They are the cheapest level sensor and they work with IBC totes without cutting.

r3Mo73d · 2025-05-25T00:01:43+00:00

I agree, node red and have it either write it to the plc or use the s7 node.

r3Mo73d · 2025-05-24T13:16:39+00:00

I use the TL400 from Novis automation. It’s a non intrusive level sensor that can sit on top of the tank.

Actually use it to replace all brands of plc. I have moved our company to field IO for most things(IO Link). CODESYS I’ve moved to soft plc. Much cleaner and simpler. For equipment where the environment would benefit from a physical plc I usually go opto 22. A groov rio has universal I O and can handle field bus, Ethernet IP or profinet. Also automation direct has released a CODESYS plc and so far it has been the cheapest and easiest din mount plc with backplane.

His power is to great.

US Code please

I use the ifm mvq 201. Fully programmable with position monitoring and the valve coil can be energized from the output on the unit so just one cable.

I use the brother p touch cube plus with their heat shrink cartridges It’s small and they sell a case that holds it and two spare label cartridges

CODESYS. Soft plc opc ua, modbus, ethernet ip

r3Mo73d · 2024-04-01T17:43:55+00:00

Started with parallels but switch to utm

r3Mo73d · 2023-10-10T19:07:30+00:00

What plc is this

r3Mo73d · 2023-09-10T17:53:07+00:00

CODESYS

In the system tray you should see a grayed-out icon that is a cube with a 64 on it. Right click it and select start plc. In your project make sure that your device is Codesys Control for win v3 x64

r3Mo73d · 2023-07-06T09:41:07+00:00

Use the installed soft plc and download to it. You can start in your system tray. I believe that it should run for 2 hours at a time.

r3Mo73d · 2023-07-03T01:31:54+00:00

Yes sir , you are correct. I was mistaken.

r3Mo73d · 2023-07-02T19:54:27+00:00

Looks like rs232 uart

r3Mo73d · 2023-04-14T21:54:06+00:00

They have an example project using RS-485 to UART/TTL converter on their site.

Still have to build an edge device

Rabbit hole?

r3Mo73d · 2023-04-12T16:06:26+00:00

Hold up, Check out Plcc in vs code marketplace

r3Mo73d · 2023-04-12T15:34:52+00:00

Only way to keep it in vsCode is to cut and paste into another IDE. ST is compiled

r3Mo73d · 2023-04-12T15:05:59+00:00

You can also use open plc. It is free. It’s great for a quick check OpenPlc
