ModbusRTU and ModbusTCP examples with the Arduino Uno and ESP8266 Introduction to PLC programming with OpenPLC, the first fully open source Programmable Logic Controller on the Raspberry Pi, and Modbus examples with Arduino Uno and ESP8266 PLC programming is very common in industry and home automation. This book describes how the Raspberry Pi 4 can be used as a Programmable Logic Controller. Before taking you into the programming, the author starts with the software installation on the Raspberry Pi and the PLC editor on the PC, followed by a description of the hardware. You'll then find interesting examples in the different programming languages complying with the IEC 61131-3 standard. This manual also explains in detail how to use the PLC editor and how to load and execute the programs on the Raspberry Pi. All IEC languages are explained with examples, starting with LD (Ladder Diagram) over ST (Structured Control Language) to SFC (Special Function Chart). All examples can be downloaded from the author's website. Networking gets thorough attention too. The Arduino Uno and the ESP8266 are programmed as ModbusRTU or ModbusTCP modules to get access to external peripherals, reading sensors and switching electrical loads. I/O circuits complying with the 24 V industry standard may also be of interest for the reader. The book ends with an overview of commands for ST and LD. After reading the book, the reader will be able to create his own controllers with the Raspberry Pi.

Das Programmpaket Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench (oder kurz LabVIEW) ist ein international anerkannter Standard zur Entwicklung und Gestaltung von Messgeräten und Prozesssteueroberflächen. Seine Universalität konfrontiert den LabVIEW-Einsteiger allerdings mit einer unübersichtlichen Vielfalt von Funktionen, die er ohne fundierte Anleitung kaum überblicken kann. Hier setzt diese neue mehrteilige Lehrbuchreihe an: Von Grund auf werden in einfach nachvollziehbaren Schritten der Aufbau, die Struktur und die Verwendung von LabVIEW erklärt, in praktischen Beispielen dargestellt und mit Übungen vertieft. Die notwendigen Vorkenntnisse sind äußerst gering, die erreichbaren Ergebnisse dagegen äußerst sehenswert. Der erste Band erläutert die Grunddatentypen und die zugehörigen numerischen Grundfunktionen ebenso ausführlich wie die elementaren Programmstrukturen. Im folgenden Band liegt der Schwerpunkt bei der Kopplung beliebiger Mikrocontrollersysteme über die serielle (USB-)Schnittstelle an den PC und an LabVIEW. Im dritten Band stehen Entwurf und Betrieb kompletter MSR-Systeme mit Hard- und Softwarekomponenten der wichtigsten Messtechnikhersteller im Vordergrund, einschließlich Fernsteuerung, -überwachung und -diagnose über das Internet oder WLAN-Systeme. Diese Lehrbuchreihe richtet sich an Schüler/Auszubildende technischer Bildungseinrichtungen, an Studenten von Fachhochschulen/Universitäten und an den engagierten Praktiker in der Industrie oder im privaten Bereich.

An 8-in-1 test & measurement instrument for the electronics workbench A well-equipped electronics lab is crammed with power supplies, measuring devices, test equipment and signal generators. Wouldn‘t it be better to have one compact device for almost all tasks? Based on the Arduino, a PC interface is to be developed that’s as versatile as possible for measurement and control. It simply hangs on a USB cable and – depending on the software – forms the measuring head of a digital voltmeter or PC oscilloscope, a signal generator, an adjustable voltage source, a frequency counter, an ohmmeter, a capacitance meter, a characteristic curve recorder, and much more. The circuits and methods collected here are not only relevant for exactly these tasks in the "MSR" electronics lab, but many details can also be used within completely different contexts.

From Detector to Software Defined RadioRadio frequency (RF) technology is one of the areas which still allows putting your own ideas into practice. Countless circuit variants with special objectives allow space for meaningful experiments and projects. Many things simply aren’t available off the shelf. Crystal detector radios without their own power source, simple tube receivers with a touch of nostalgia, the first reception attempts at Software Defined Radio, special receivers for amateur radio, all this can be realized with little effort and as a perfect introduction to RF electronics.For a long time, radio construction was the first step into electronics. Meanwhile, there are other ways, especially via computers, microcontrollers, and digital technology. However, the analog roots of electronics are often neglected. Elementary radio technology and easy-to-do experiments are particularly well suited as a learning field for electronics because you can start with the simplest basics here.But the connection to modern digital technology is also obvious, for example, when it comes to modern tuning methods such as PLL and DDS or modern DSP radios.This book aims to give an overview and present a collection of simple RF projects. The author would like to support you to develop your own ideas, to design your own receivers and to test them.
