Abstract

In numerous academic and industrial fields, supervision, monitoring, and control are critical tasks for ensuring the proper handling and optimal application of data acquired or extracted from various sensors, as well as for controlling various actuators. The objective of this study is to demonstrate a straightforward approach to developing a supervision and control system using Arduino/Ethernet and a Siemens human machine interface (HMI) through the industrial Modbus TCP/IP protocol. The Modbus TCP/IP protocol establishes a connection between the Arduino master and the Siemens slave SCADA-based Wincc Flexible via RJ 45 Ethernet wire. Using the analog input of the Arduino microcontroller to the analog-to-digital converter (ADC), the supervision and real-time display of the variable voltage values (0 to 5 V) in the HMI interfaces were ensured. Additionally, the Arduino digital output was utilized to test the On/Off LED control from the HMI button.
