Five projects have been done during the internship.

They are:

Silo Conveyor
Parking slots detection and reservation
Traffic lights
Smart home remote control
Mixer and Pumper

1. Creating Project in Unity Pro XL

1.1. PLC Configuration
First of all, Choose the PLC model and its OS Version.

Then, add the hardware module to the X Bus from Hardware Catalog.

After that, create Network base on the network connection. In case for using
network via Ethernet, choose Ethernet from the list of available network and
name the connection afterward. Then, fill IP address, subnetwork mask and
Gateway address. Besides, go to ETY PORT and select ETH TCP IP in X Bus in
order to confirm that the network is connected to Ethernet module.

1.2. Programming
Create Program in Program/Task/Mast/Sections.

Ladder Diagram(LD) and Sequential Function Chart (SFC) is used in these five
projects below.

1.3. Transferring Project to PLC

Set PLC address before connecting and transferring project to PLC.

Transferring Project to PLC is the most important part of all, so make sure that
the project is properly configured. Double check everything before transferring
the project is recommended in order to avoid unpleased error to PLC.

1.4. Simulation mode

Simulation mode is available in UNITY PRO, thus the project can be transfer to
virtual PLC, which comes along with UNITY PRO, without having the real PLC.

1.5. Operating PLC

PLC can be control from the PC whether to put PLC in run mode or stop mode.
Besides, in run mode variable can be forced or set to 0 or 1 depending on type of
variable.

2. Creating Project in Vijeo Designer

2.1. Setting up new Project
Enter Project name.

Enter Target Name, Target Type and Model. Then, press finish.

2.2. IO managing
Create new driver in IO manager.

Configure the driver.

2.3. Linking variable to Unity Pro XL

To link variable, Unity Pro file, with stu as extension, is needed.

Then select variable from the list.

2.4. Creating Panel

2.5. Downloading Project to HMI

After the project is done, the project can be download to HMI right away. Plus,
Vijeo Designer also allow us to do the simulation without the actual HMI and

even connect to Virtual PLC. However, in HMI simulation mode cannot address to
virtual I/O module of PLC, so address to I/O terminal should not be assigned in
UNITY PRO project.
