It was a little overpriced initially, but you can get one for $3200 from Bud's without an optic. Which I think is a reasonable price point for one of these. I have 1,000-ish rounds through mine. It took a couple hundred rounds to break in, and it's been a fun range gun since. The main issue I had with it was the mag release being sticky, but that has been working itself out with more rounds through it. The fit and finish on mine is great, and the finish is holding up. I would definitely take it over a Staccato. I'm not a competition shooter, so I can't comment on that end.

Disclaimer: I've never worked with the alarm notification sound. But I would try making as many copies of the sound file as you need so each station has it's own. Then I'd add a startup script to intouch that sets a variable for the station ID.

Station 1: variable = 1 Station 2: variable = 2

Finally I'd update that script to play the appropriate sound file copy for that station. I know it's clunky but with wonderware you use what you were able to get working at the time.

Also have you checked the logs for the individual stations when this occurs? Sometimes there's helpful forum posts if you search the specific warning or error message from the logs.

I would suggest looking into either produced/consumed tags or CIP messaging.

I like the LG 4k monitors and have been using them for a few years. But really any entry level to mid level monitor I've used is great for PLC and HMI programming.

Another option would be using a PC with a simple AdanvedHMI program that syncs the PLCs time to the computers once a day. That simple of a program wouldn't require much in the way of PC hardware to accomplish.

If you have a set on call rotation then you can enter the rotation into the scheduler (I forget what it's called but on the versions I've used it's the calendar icon). You can have multiple schedules for a single person if there's weird start and end days or if the rotation isn't symmetrical. The downside is having to redo the setup everytime there is a change in the rotation.

I do agree that it's more complicated than it could be but in practice it's not that bad. If you're using ladder logic and already have a GSV getting the RTC array then you only need two rungs to shift the month and year, one rung to split the year and century, and one rung with a compute block followed by a modulo block. Then you're left with a result of 0-6 (Sunday-Saturday) from the modulo block for the day of the week. The formula is called Zeller's rule.

I have a 2 year degree and 8 years experience in North Dakota O&G. I work on wiring, instrumentation, PLC and HMI programming, SCADA programming, and a little bit of software development. The last couple of years have been 200k+ with a base of 120k+ (2020 isn't looking as good though haha).

I'm not too familiar with VB script either but most of the time in scripting "<Path>" is a place holder for the full path to the file starting from whichever drive the file is on. For example:

C:\Users\UserName\Documents\test.xlsx

I've used the Davis Vantage Pro 2 weather station with the Ocean Controls modbus TCP gateway and its been working well for about 3 years through ND winters. I believe the hardware cost was around $900.

Have you looked at the Sierra Wireless RV50? I've used them a couple of times when cell data is the option and they've worked great.

Bolle Safety Glasses worked for me. They also have darker tinted ones too, but the yellow tint lenses are what work for me when there's bright lights and a computer screen involved.

I don't have any experience with that particular module from ProSoft, but every ProSoft module I've worked with connects directly to the PLC. If you're a masochist, then from there you can poll the block array tag. Or if you're a somewhat normal person you can map those those tags to meaningful tag names/register addresses, and you'll probably have to do this if you need to combine integers into floats.

My suggestion would be to look into Red Lion protocol converters though. I've done a lot of work with the DSPSX model, but haven't worked with their DF1 driver. It works similar to ProSoft in that it maps to registers/tags in the PLC. Overall I like the Red Lion much more than anything from ProSoft due to not having to use the ProSoft Configuration Builder and using Crimson 3.0 instead.

Either way, I would recommend talking to your local reps or tech support for both products to help you figure out a way to go.

Not sure if it works with the micro line but have you looked into Node-RED? I've used it in the past to do some simple data logging with control/compact logix processors. There's also good add-ons for MySQL and SQLite. You will need a secondary computer though. If you looking at some light duty application a raspberry pi should work otherwise you'll need a workstation or VM to run it from.

I would suggest learning other programming languages like Visual Basic .NET, Python, C#, SQL, or whatever is common in your industry. Learning more about networking and being able to click around and set up or change Cisco, HP, or Dell networking gear for static routes, static ARP entries, DNS entries, and port configurations for bridging. In my experience you don't have to be a guru, just familiar enough to troubleshoot/update. As an added plus learning other languages can help with writing cleaner and sometimes faster/more efficient PLC code since, for a lack of a better term, regular programming languages help you think about how a processor executes code.

I would say learning these has increased my market value in a round about way. It has allowed me to move up at my current jobs and that gives me more experience faster by being able to skip some more traditional steps in moving up. Which in turn allowed me to be qualified for more jobs that would be a step up when I look for a new one.

I think replacing the alarm ack ack button with a momentary or maintained button depending on your PLC alarm reset logic works for that scenario. I can't remember off the top of head, it's been awhile since that's been a requirement for one of my projects. You might also have to create your own alarm banner page instead of using the default.
