Transform Automation with LS XGB PLC: The Solution

The LS XGB PLC is a compact industrial controller with advanced motion control capabilities and an IEC programming environment.
The FREE programming software allows you to program in several IEC standard PLC languages, such as ladder diagram (LD), structured text (ST), sequential function chart (SFC), and instruction list (IL). User-defined functions/tags and easy tag creation like "Excel®" make this software versatile.
The LS Electric XGB PLC provides advanced motion control for up to 22 axes, with up to 6 axes embedded on the CPU and up to 16 axes using EtherCAT® modules. You can choose from several positioning methods, including linear, circular, helical, and ellipse interpolation. Additionally, the device offers seven homing routines, and you can use the FREE software to access a graphical interface that allows you to observe the motion in action.
This series will focus on the XGB PLC and how to quickly and easily get it up and running. Each post will have a corresponding video to demonstrate the concepts discussed. Let's start.

Thank you, Garry.
I am interested in how the LS does motion and is it like Studio 5000 where the motion commands are in the program? If yes, and on a side note, I wish Automation Direct did the same with Productivity (maybe it already does with their motion modules?) and/or with BRX Do-more. At my age, I would like to avoid having to learn another programming environment but if LS is the only option...

[@marcfruchtman9473]

The LS XGB PLC has a lot going for it. I wanted to learn more about the programming environment for it... so, I clicked on the links for "PLC Beginner’s Guide to PLC Programming" (points to accautomation ) and was served waaayyyy too many advertisements and just makes the page for the site look really bad. You can't possibly want that many ads on your own website...
Is this because the site is using a "web service" to make the site?

[@ACCautomation]

You are correct. The site uses a web service called Ezoic. It is not suppose to show that many ads, but have a good experience for the user. I will inquire as to the problem.
Thank you,
Garry
