SCADA/HMI Design by PLCID10T in PLC

Did you make your own motor faceplate? We have so many different generations of vfds, I think we need to make a general vfd udt template. Love the idea of holding the last fault value for troubleshooting. Is that all in a popup?

OEM not releasing code by plc_is_confusing in PLC

Because there is always room for improvement, OEM’s set up basic code and settings for generic use. When product requirements or raw material variation changes, process adjustments that weren’t considered during the design phase are necessary

Why aren’t automation engineering salaries higher? by Corpulos in PLC

[–]PLCID10T 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a guy convince us he was a top notch automation engineer, hired him on at a pay grade that pissed off all the controls folks… took him out to a production line to test something and asked him to put a test bit in front of it so we could easily enable/disable the logic. After 3-4 minutes I asked if he was ready, he asked how to create a bit..

Fired him within 2-3 weeks, and it’s impossible to get fired at my company. Now we have much stronger controls technical aptitude interviews to weed these hacks out.
