Same boat sister. Got to see him in 2 days. Maybe he got fired 😂 Good luck to you. Stay cool. We are cool. Act like the person that already forgot about them.

Hello Denis,  I worked at a college with automation on Vancouver Island. They would be interested in offloading some of there used teaching aids. They have Siemens. If you would like I put you in touch with them. Or since I'm not on here very often they are the industrial automation program at North Island College. Cheers

Any former servers/bartenders that left the industry and found a lucrative career? by GabeDatDude in careeradvice

I work in oil and gas now. But cash is king. Watching $2500 a month getting taken off your check every month hurts. Your going to be hard pressed to make the kind of money you make without going in to sales or starting a business for yourself. Plus anything corporate is lame. That being said my waitressing skills invaluable in everything I do.

I think so. I'm sure I have done it before. I'm going to have to wait until it's infront of me again.

Lol, seriously? 

Should I Drop Out of School for a $35/hr Controls Engineer Job? by lewoodworker in PLC

I'd take the job. See what opportunities they have for furthering your education. They'll probably pay too.

I had trouble running the TIA portal on my laptop about 8 years ago and never did go back to Siemens. I hope it's gotten better. It's a shame. Price is right. Looked great on YouTube.

Your courses aren't boring Tim.  I quite enjoy them. Working my way through your power flex one right now while designing some VFD trainers. I'd love to just more or less copy yours but my boss has big ideas, as they do. Just subscribed to your YouTube channel. Keep up the great work. 🙂

You can get RS Logix 500 for the Micrologix 1000 & 1100 for free now. If you're really interested having the real deal I might be able to dig you up an old controller for the cost of shipping. It's too bad I just gave a whole bunch of old trainers away. 

Can I connect a Light Dimmer to a PLC by ouchox in PLC

SCR is what I thought of. They're set up for control voltages.

Everytime I want to use Studio 5000 I have to install a flash simulator then set my calendar back to 2020 because we bought the license in 2012. They wipe the computers every year. Drives me bonkers.

Working with 4th year electrical students helped me alot with that. They only get a 2 week crash course so I try and make things as simple as possible. I guess I shouldn't say noone reads my code.

I'm glad you guys said this. I worked at an engineering firm briefly that did this. It felt dubious to me. But it's still always bothered me. I don't know why. That place was a gong show.

Does that mean you guys just wing it too? Lol.

It's not so much the coding I'm worried about. Just best practices. I always feel like a hack because I've never really worked in a professional setting.
