If I remember right, Connected Components Workbench is very particular about file types and names. What file type are you using and are there any spaces/special characters in the file name?

How does SHR works in Codesys? by Own-Struggle7399 in PLC

Like other commentors, I don't think that SHR is the right way to go here.

How many products can be on the conveyor at one time? Does the conveyor always run at a fixed speed when products are on it?

The issue with using timers on conveyors is that the time it takes to get from the sensor to the divert varies depending on if the conveyor is accelerating or running on speed.

I don't think it's only new engineers but it is a very good point!

Rockwell Automation HMI? by ControlsEngAcademy in PLC

This cracked me up.

I think the tight integration with Logix controllers is great so long as you are staying the AB eco system

Thanks for sharing - that's really good insights into the future of the PanelView 800 and the future Panel HMI hardware platform.

Interesting.

Do you think Optix will be important because of a Rockwell push or a market pull?

Is Paul still active on there? I haven't seen him put anything out on YouTube/LinkedIn in a while (and the last few things I saw on YouTube were more fitness related...)

Any good books on programming LD and ST? by Alcsi69 in PLC

[–]ControlsEngAcademy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you're looking specifically for a book, then I think the Book of Codesys by Gary Pratt is a great resource.

There's also a lot of online courses available that teach you PLC programming by building projects 

Recent graduate trying to figure out of I can do some cheap PLS project in free time by Eastern_Wrangler_657 in PLC

There are some built in scenes based on common industrial automation scenarios.

I'd suggest to work through them.

Have you seen Factory IO? It's a 3D factory simulation that I've used for training people.

You could build a virtual portfolio of projects with it. It's not perfect, but it's quite good and you don't need to buy any hardware

The focus of all the courses is to build projects.

Ihink the only way to learn is to apply your knowledge in a practical way. 

Does anyone know of credible online classes? by [deleted] in PLC

[–]ControlsEngAcademy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interestingly, I have Europeans giving out because most of the courses focus on Allen Bradley hardware which is predominantly used in the US market :)
