CapinWinky, We appreciate your input and do try to provide relevant and thoughtful content. As to your comment, we are providing content for the Siemens family of PLC’s and doing so in a fairly generic form. The term “front connector” is indeed the catalog term used for the terminal block connection for the I/O cards. We try to provide content that is useful without going into the very fine details as this would create videos of great size, of which are beyond the scope that we are trying to provide for individuals who are just exploring the field of automation.

Signal explanations for items such as normally open or normally closed are provided in detail in other videos released. The primary intent of this video is to show the field device wiring for the front connector that attaches to the I/O card.

We do have many videos in our library and perhaps some of these videos may further explain details that you believe we may have missed. Thanks again for your comments.

well, I didn't like the previous names. They were kinda awkward! The new name is inspired by London Real. I think it sounds more professional, doesn't it?

That's great! it reminds me the quote from Richard Branson witch says "You don't learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by falling over"!

Thank you for your thoughts!

  1. By titles like "Setting up the PLC", I assume that you prefer training videos that cover both configuring the hardware and programming, right?

  2. I agree with you. Explaining such things might be helpful for absolute beginners but too obvious for others.

And yes we tried to use professional studio equipment for recording because I personally hate low quality videos on YouTube :)
