PLC Troubleshooting

In this tutorial we’re building a program contained within a function block in TIA Portal. Our goal is to create the basic functionality of a mixing process that would allow us to replicate the tank as needed. In order to accomplish the task, we’re using function blocks, timers, and various data blocks. Lastly, we go over some of the methodologies used to troubleshoot the logic, build a better understanding of how to reliably validate our online interactions.
