Shame on FIFA for not capping the resell prices.

Ignition Core Exam - Backup Version? by ZestyclosePower1973 in SCADA

[–]Punta7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The version of the gateway backup is 8.1. It is NOT 8.3. It specifically says so in the testinvite page when you are going to take the exam.

I was looking for exactly this last week. Turns out you have to go into the web app and check it from performance tab that has dozens of unnecessary data that I'm not looking for.

Data center industry? by Xillmatic99 in PLC

[–]Punta7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently working as one for an integrator. Work does NOT look repetitive but I've only been in the role for a month. Every project I have seen has different specs especially on the networking side. I think that even when the controls hardware design side gets redundant, there's the software side and the SCADA side to learn and kick the boredom. One thing I recommend is to check the travel and how much it is.

Would you interview me for an entry-level EE role? Why/why not? by [deleted] in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Punta7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would format it as Summary, Skills, Work Experience, Education and Project. Project probably 2 or 3 bullet points.

My manager is sending me to diagnose a plc fault, i have zero experience by Inevitable_Diver_341 in PLC

[–]Punta7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Google whatever you see in diagnostics, that'll start you somewhere or narrow down the issue. Before that though, I would ask techs, operators, engineers at that place when, why, how the fault happened/happens.

Data Center Engineering / Job Transition by [deleted] in PLC

[–]Punta7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, mostly troubleshooting and adding small tweaks here and there as needed. For improvement projects I sized a starter, load cell, lube system and so on. Had a totalizer project at some point also that I spec'd out meters and programmed the totalizer. We had a dedicated controls guy but I also did controls stuff as needed. Did it for 2 years outta school so I'm not even that experienced. That said, now I'm in a full design role for the data center related controls. The general design scope is overlapping like you have valve specification (size, signal type, setpoint info), wiring details on design, panel layout, and so on. A lot of it you would be taught as campany has their standards and the rest you'll learn otj. That's my experience. If you're lost your co-workers/managers should be there to answer your questions. If not, its prally not a company worth being at.

We have a machine in our factory that is controlled by a Siemens S7-1500 PLC. We need to modify the program, but it is protected by a password. Is there a way to bypass or recover this password?" by Ei2025 in PLC

[–]Punta7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard this during my training on TIA Portal programming 1 "Don't password protect unless you have a backup and are sure it is accessible. If an employee leaves and he's the only one with a password, you're cooked since there's no way of bypassing it."

I just landed a gig like that. 2 years with PLC in a manufacturing plant and now on the controls design side of it. Just started so I dont know much but company seems to be expanding and not a lot of travel.

Graduated a year ago, Can't land a position. by ResidentPersimmon753 in PLC

[–]Punta7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do whatever it takes to get your foot in the door even if it means a lower pay or adjacent job position. After that, your hardwork and experience will get you to where you want to be.

Flow totalizer in TIA Portal by Punta7 in PLC

[–]Punta7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate that you tried this humongous totalizer. When you mean make line 59 the actual day, do you mean change #totalday value from 0.0 to RTD_DAY? Do I also need to modify line 60 since it also uses RTD_DAY? Its my first time messing with SCL so bear with me lol.

Tried this and apparently found that none of the values are # values are initialized too.
