Course project, about 18 hours

Paddy dryer HMI on a cMT3092X: Modbus RTU register map, data sampling, event log and a moisture macro

Build an EasyBuilder Pro application for a paddy dryer, test it against a Modbus simulator and document it. A cMT3092X talks Modbus RTU on one RS-485 line to a Delta DVP PLC and two Delta MS300 drives. You deliver the project, your own register map, a FAT record and a hand-over note, and compare them with the sample pack an integrator would hand over.

Practise what you learn in the free 3D lab

Technical work is judged on what you can do: wiring, commissioning, finding a fault. Doing a task yourself teaches more than watching it a second time, and a lab lets you try it safely before you meet real equipment. It does not replace working on real hardware.

  • Practise safely, so a mistake costs nothing.
  • The lab checks your work like a site test, so you know when it is right.
  • Free, in your browser, with nothing to install.
