Summary of "PLC LOGO V8.3 Y HMI KINCO"

Summary of Video: “PLC LOGO V8.3 Y HMI KINCO”

This video, presented by Pablo Guzmán, is a detailed tutorial on how to establish communication between a Siemens LOGO! v8.3 PLC and a Kinco HMI (Human-Machine Interface) screen, specifically the Kinco Más series M2070 HE model. The tutorial covers hardware setup, network configuration, PLC programming, and HMI programming, including practical tests and demonstrations.

Key Technological Concepts and Product Features

Hardware Used

Siemens LOGO! PLC v8.3 (supports Ethernet communication, transistor and relay outputs).
Kinco Más series HMI screen (model M2070 HE) with enhanced touch sensitivity, memory, and processor power.
24V DC power supply, fuse, circuit breaker, Ethernet switch for network communication.
Analog input source (small generator) for testing voltage readings.

Communication Setup

Connection via Ethernet (RJ45 port) through a network switch.
IP addressing on the same subnet for PLC (e.g., 192.168.250.10) and HMI (e.g., 192.168.250.2).
Activation of S7 communication port 102 on LOGO! v8.3 for Ethernet access.
Use of Modbus TCP protocol for communication between LOGO! PLC and Kinco HMI.

PLC Programming (using Logosoft Comfort)

Configuring the LOGO! PLC’s IP address and enabling Ethernet communication.
Creating a simple timer-based program:
- Markers M1 and M2 to set/reset outputs.
- Output Q1 (24V pilot light) and Q10 (220V pilot light) controlled by timer and markers.
- Timer set with a delay (e.g., 5 seconds) to activate output Q10 after Q1.
Reading and scaling analog input values (0-1000 points resolution).
Conversion of integer analog values to floating-point for display purposes.

HMI Programming (using Kinco D Tools)

Selecting the correct HMI model (M2070 HE) and configuring its IP address.
Adding Siemens LOGO! PLC as an Ethernet TCP slave device.
Mapping PLC memory areas (markers and timers) to HMI components:
- Buttons linked to markers M1 and M2 for control.
- Numeric input for timer configuration (mapped to WW0).
- Display of timer values and output states.
- Bar chart and trend curve to visualize analog input values (mapped to WW10).
Customizing UI elements (colors, font sizes) for better visibility.
Compiling and uploading the project to the HMI.

Testing and Demonstration

Physical testing of outputs Q1 and Q10 with indicator lights.
Real-time timer control and display updates on HMI.
Analog input voltage variation using a generator, visualized on both PLC and HMI screens.
Demonstration of the Kinco HMI’s sensitive touch and responsiveness.

Additional Insights

LOGO! PLC analog input resolution is limited (0-1000 points).
Kinco devices support multiple PLC brands and protocols, including Siemens, Omron, Allen Bradley, Mitsubishi.
The video emphasizes the flexibility of Kinco HMI screens to work with various PLC brands via Ethernet and Modbus TCP.
