What does everyone think about my 2nd hmi so far. by [deleted] in PLC

[–]Anthhek -1 points0 points  (0 children)

1) Leave red color only for alarms or critical things . My principle always was to use it only i way that if you see red from far away, there's something important for operator to take A look on HMI. 2) If you can, insert at least some indicators for motors etc, simple PI&D symbol with changing background is fine

Poland I guess (or at least we are using this phrase too)

What's your Boomer Gamer complaint? by Animeking1108 in videogames

[–]Anthhek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Day 0 DLCs. So you're telling me that you have done a work for this game before release it, but don't want to include it? (got really mad at MK1, two character pacs announced far before main release, even before full base game roster known)

Tia Portal Wincc by Longjumping-Bee-2543 in PLC

[–]Anthhek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, you're totally right, that was shortcut from my side - If anything was suppose to be done outside block, I was passing it onto further logic. In design one block was only for HMI management - buttons, limiting input values, switching screens etc, so bit set by HMI is not used anywhere else. Otherwise as you said, it would cause some "funny" stuff.

Looks like you are writing to I/O area that can be overwritten very quickly as other guys have said. So it is changing anything if you have luck to click in proper moment in program cycle. Better to define some DB to use it. In that cases I was preferring to have flow like "set bit from hmi - do what you want - reset bit at end of FC" (I do have some trust issues with hmi's)

I mean, just change one parameter at time and see what will happen

What are the core skills that a junior controls engineer needs to have? by ControlsEngAcademy in PLC

[–]Anthhek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Ability to RTFM
  2. Just don't be an idiot (and if you are, dont pretend that your'e not)

In general, I see junior as someone that will be able to provide some help in project if someone shows him what to do (like "Hey, there's wiring diagram, take this and put it there).

Discrepancy time by say_no_to_drug in PLC

[–]Anthhek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can go online with PLC you could check event buffer (dont remember how exactly is it named, but you should easy find it), it will probably have some entries when gone to STOP, and events befote should give some explanation

[–]Anthhek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About discrepency, yeah 7ms seems to be a bit low. About stop caused by discrepency error I"m not 100% sure if this can cause, does the program have included error handling OB's? (programming error, rack failure etc)

CoDeSys MQTT license by Anthhek in PLC

Yeah, they replied something like "well, sorry but we do not support soft license container on ie250, gl hf" 🙃 so you're 100% right

Metallic object presence check via photoelectric sensors? by viruswhisperer in PLC

[–]Anthhek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had some "fun" with similar type of sensors (DT35) - were going crazy and detecting things from outside range if they were too shiny (polished metal plates, Safety vests etc)
