I just built a web HMI that connects to a CompactLogix AB PLC via EthernetIP to command a stepper motor. If the motor is alarmed, it sends me an email notifying the alarm code.
Hardware used:
- Any Logix family Allen Bradley PLC with Ethernet/IP communication
- Oriental motor AZD-KEP stepper motor driver
- DC 24V PS to supply voltage to both PLC and stepper driver
Packages used:
- node-red-contrib-ui-led
- node-red-contrib-cip-ethernet-ip
- node-red-dashboard
- node-red-node-email
Code:
