Plugin PLC Mitsubishi SmartSight - Asyril project

Overview

During my ES training, I undertook a diploma project to design a plugin for Mitsubishi PLCs. The aim of this plugin was to simplify TCP/IP communication for users integrating Asyril SmartSight system. My main role in this project was to design and develop the plugin. This project enabled me to deepen my skills in PLC programming and TCP/IP communication protocols. It also gave me the opportunity to work in depth with TCP/IP communication, especially with Mitsubishi PLC and its GX Works programming software.
