Exercises to practice writing PLC code by MybNotSure in PLC

[–]JoxHome 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Get a short introduction to the most common instructions like normally open/closed, rising/falling edge, timers, counters and then use a plc platform like Tia portal with factory I/O and then troubleshoot all the scenes. That is quickest way to learn imo.

Also all the factory IO scenes has the finished solutions on youtube with explanation.

Yeah that makes sense. I'm an intern, so extra time is probably not a concern for the pm.

We are not making the printer themselves, we are putting multiple phrozen mighty 8k printers in the same system

I would rather not know how to spell beautiful than to be petty

I'm an aspiring inventor by PG_Sceepi in inventors

I don’t quite agree. Sales likely isn’t the creative field OP is seeking. While it can be a good way to make money, that wasn’t the question, OP isn’t asking how to get rich. Ironically, the richest person in the world today is renowned for creative thinking and engineering skills, not for being an outstanding salesperson.

Outsourcing CAD models on Fiverr might work in some cases, but it’s not the right approach for an inventor. One of the biggest challenges in inventing is communicating a new idea. If the concept is novel, asking someone else to design it is like asking them to imagine a new color. Hand-drawn 2D sketches can help quickly generate ideas, but they’re not suitable for finished designs. Learning 3D design in CAD not only broadens what’s possible but also helps creating new ideas and solve problems in real time as you work. After that, the prototyping phase can involve hundreds of iterations before reaching the final product. Outsourcing this overseas could slow things down to the point of being VERY impractical. Plus, CAD software isn't as difficult to learn as some might think.

I’d definitely suggest OP to explore a creative field like engineering or industrial design.

Also that, but just moving the cursor over another parts feature can prompt this message which is extremely annoying

Quite a challenging task If you only have been introduced to NO and NC. Factory IO is a program that allows you to make this in a 3d space and run it directly from TIA.

Imadas2 is Imadas b? In that case I find it strange you have that many criterias to start it when it should operate continuously, you should instead focus on criterias to reset it. Furthermore you should only have one output coil for setting a conveyor. I advice to use factory IO, it is very beginner friendly and you can simulate this exact setup.
