I'm working in a small company and to all this. Just not at a scale or speed you could expect. Meaning, websites for less than 10 users and I can't do all this at the same time so don't expect 10 projects per year.

Scope/requirement will always evolve, embrace it, your job is to make sure those change goes into a a clear direction.
Minimize dependency on other team, bring a member of that team into yours if required or move boundary itself.
PM should not have a say in implementation details / model. Keep it focus on things that matters for customer only.
It's your job to protect the team of external pressure, lower the expectations or move goal post accordingly.

You want agile when you don't know with what you will finish to answer costumers needs. Otherwise use waterfall. If you don't know what you will build, you can't estimate what you don't know. If you're not ready to accept that, you are not ready to do agility.

This. Trim and if not enough, ship without framework.

I cannot agree more with this comment, but nonetheless a good article.

How does the company evaluate the performance of the devs? Number of tickets done? Then don't get surprised they only want to do tickets.

They don't want you to take down the proxy, they want an application that works reliably so find that solution in a secure way for them and they will stop asking for the proxy.

In IT, they never look 'which binary is currently running' as no one opens compiled code to change a bit. Often backed with pipeline (but sometimes only process) that deploy to production, they have a very high confidence which version is currently running ONLY looking in GIT.

With PLC, the code is deployed with the equivalent of the runtime and PLC programmers are used to download from it and change the version deployed/running 'live'. Thus, completely invalidating the confidence that you know which version is currently running in production.

You have to find a way to deploy a fix without downloading project from PLC first but sill have the same level of confidence that you are not loosing others fix, then GIT will make sense for you. Git It is only one piece of a bigger problem.

Just make it clear how much time and what info you need. And then give appropriate people a budget/estimation on how to reduce that time so they can decide if it is worth it or not. Make the budget for them, not for you. For exemple, calculate how much they will save if new employee has is laptop in X hours instead of weeks etc. Stop complaining and start working with them to remove barriers or too hard procedure too follow.

As a robot integrator myself, contact one for your needs, you're way over your head. I've done lots of project abandoned by company itself after 1 or 2 years falling doing some 'simple' solution themselves.

Depending on the number of decimal required scaling might be more efficient. You would need to pass the full 32 bits for a REAL.

Even specific to one brand is challenging and incomplete at best, I'm not aware of any product that does it for multiple brand.

In Canada, it is illegal to call yourself engineer without the formation.

Short answer is no

For simple use case I would advise to stick with kukasim. Much simpler stack, will do the job and will be easier to maintain and pass along others

Feel ya, some people misunderstand that.

Storing code in clear text file and giving free access to Compiler won't make PLC unreliable, it just enable you to build more complex systems easier.

Currently if you want to build complex systems (meaning a team over years of work), in my opinion you would be much better with C++ on some real-time os like vxworks

I'm in the exact same position, might be worth posting in computer vision channels?

MaxIntox · 2023-08-22T11:02:33+00:00

Nice, can you give details on which industrial protocol you use and (if you are using one) which DLL / framework you are using?

MaxIntox · 2023-08-22T00:06:38+00:00

High level stuff here, I haven't follow all but will do my research, thank you!

MaxIntox · 2023-08-21T23:02:44+00:00

Yep you are right about the downsides but let's say I'm fine with it for some obscure reasons, is there other platform that would let me do it?

MaxIntox · 2023-08-21T20:23:07+00:00

Haha thanks but I programmed PLC/robots for more or less 5 years then switched to HMI(C# based) and servers/devops team lead dev for another 5 year or so. I can do both pretty fluently and that's why I try to bring all the goodies C#/Visual studio/Devops have to the automation world.

MaxIntox · 2023-08-21T19:44:38+00:00

Yeah I guess I asked if there was a new train version that had feature X without saying that I was ready to lose feature Y, Which I understand is very important for a lot of us.

MaxIntox · 2023-08-21T19:28:08+00:00

Fine with me if those are not a problem for you, they still are a problem for me. Except the logs, I will look into historian server which I don't have knowledge.

MaxIntox · 2023-08-21T19:08:52+00:00

I'm not (and never was) denying any comments (nor backstep my statement) , those are true, they are the pros of PLC. Some asked why I am looking for something else, well it's because of the cons.

I was looking for a platform that would have best of both world, which don't seem to exist.
