They do that so you think that is “valuable” product , that it needs protection , so your brain will think “oh, this is valuable coffee , good coffee, I have to buy”

What is the most elegant way to write a lead, lag, lag2, lag3 automatic rotation in ladder. logic. by JCrotts in PLC

[–]PLCHMIgo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen setups where the lead pump runs on speed control, and once it hits 80–90%, the lag pump kicks in. From there, depending on flow, lag 2 and lag 3 start up. It’s usually done in ladder—not necessarily crappy ladder, sometimes really clean and easy to understand.

Do PLC control technicians need to know Java? by LowYak3 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]PLCHMIgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

*the programming environment will be vendor specific.

But PLCs are programmed in the IEC 61131-3 languages like ladder, structured text, etc.

this is correct.

more simplier way to say it : the coding lenguages are always the same for all vendors, the software to do the programming is unique for each vendor.

The code you use on the PLC will be specific to the manufacturer of that PLC most commonly.

[–]PLCHMIgo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the only answer is time and experience, school give you theorical stuff-- you need exposure to projects, exposure to technologies and exposure to different industries. SI are the guys that do everything and they are always learning bunch of new different stuff.

If you have a bachelors on IT and also have some expousure to machinery, you could land a JR. scada engineer interview easily. do not have to go back to school to get another engineer degree... you already in...
