Control panel project

“

- [Instructor] For the first project, I'm going to write a program for a control panel in Factory IO using a simulator PLC in Connected Components, Workbench Software. I have provided you with the Factory IO scene file and a starting project file for Connected Components, Workbench Software. You can find them both in chapter three folder. However, you can start a new one if you prefer, as I demonstrated in the first chapter. In this scene within Factory IO, I have a control panel with start and stop push buttons and green and red LEDs. The push buttons also have light attached to them. A start push button light, and a stop push button light. They are separate from the other LEDs. The first step is to connect the factory IO scene to our simulator PLC. So I'm going to go back here and click on the simulator PLC window. Then I'm going to click on power on. Now I need to take the IP address of this PLC simulator and add it to Factory IO. So I'm going to go ahead to file, click on drivers, then from the dropdown menu select Allen Bradley micro 800, and then go to configuration, and add the IP address here. Then I'll go back. The second step is to add the IO addresses from Factory IO into Connected Components, Workbench Software. So I'm going to go here and double click on controller variables. Then I'm going to scroll down all the way to the end. In the file provided, I have added the input addresses. I'm going to go ahead and write the output addresses. Now the address's name should be the same as in factor IO software, but for the alias naming I usually choose the same naming as it is in factory IO because it makes it easier for me to keep track when I have multiple IOs. But feel free to change them as long as you understand which one is which.
