Communication Between TSX Micro 37-21 PLCs on Beverage Production Plant
Abstract: Programmable Logic
Controller (PLC) is the most famous controller in industry. Because the process
in industry is getting more and more complex than before, the usage of more
than one PLC is needed and the communication between them have to be
existed. This paper describes about the
study of communicating two Schneider TSX Micro 37-21 PLCs in order to control
the miniature of beverage production. The usual (and expensive) way to communicate them is using
converter module TSX P ACC 01. Less expensive way uses original converter cable
TSX PCX 1031 that connect to the ports of PLCs
(TER and AUX port) which will be explained here. PL7 Pro V 4.0 software is used to program the PLCs. The communication cannot be established due
to some improper addressing. The exploration is continued to the serial communication.
It is found that the system uses RS 485.
