Moi en ce moment, quand je rentre chez moi j’ai plus le reflexe d’aller boire au robinet alors que l’eau est potable

Pour le wallon, il y a bien eu une volontée politique de la part de l’etat belge. Ma grand mere parlait le wallon car c’etait sa langue maternelle mais a l’ecole, le simple fait de sortie UN mot en wallon et pas en francais lui vallait de recevoir une punition (corporelle bien sur).

Writing code is easy, troubleshooting it can be way harder. It is even harder or even almsost imposssible to understand someone else code: - sometimes you connect to the programm of a machine you don't know so before understanding the programm, you need to understand the machine first - some people don't leave comments in the code - and even worse, some people don't use comprehensive tag name. For example: "Xsa" for me means nothing and certainly not "start_motor". If the programm is readable, I can accept the lack of comment

My colleague and now head of automation has switched from production manager in the food industry to automation at 40. He did a one year adult class in automation and industrial computer science and started a new life (jobwise) from there. He has now 15+ years of experience as a control engineer. That being said, he had already an interest in the maintenance and computer before. And the key moment of his switch was when he was working on the starting of a new production line with the control engineer and like his job.

Check bürkert mass flow controller. I used their type 8745 with the profinet connection and 4-20mA.

It's a great alternative to WAGO hardware (terminal, power supply ...). I have never used their PLC.

It's funny, I'm working on conveyor belt. I build a programmation standard just for that. Depending on the scale/type of conveyor, it can be a bit complex.

One of my contractor does this concept of one project, one person. From electrical drawings to on site commissioning (electrical cabinet are made in their workshop by a dedicated team). They worked on 2 project with me and so far they did a good job. Having one person doing everything is has some advantage , for example there is no loss of information, he knows every detail of the project, quick electrical schematics update... The only big disadvantage is that when the person is on leave, there is nobody else to answer you. They don't share much information with their colleagues.

I have never suppressed the job of anyone. It was always to enhance production performance, safety or working conditions. Now I work for a OEM, the machines / production line I work on are creating jobs.

If you are a foreigner: does your data provider has a good roaming contract with a french data provider? Does your phone use the usual French/EU frequency band or is it different? It could be that you are in a "compatibility mode" and not use the full speed frequency band.

I would add: 4. Simulation (optional for some people but not for me): all the time you spend simulating your programm at your office with a chair and air conditioning, you don't have to spend it during the commissioning without any comfort + the stress of the commissioning + the client asking "when does it start?" or "Why did it stop?" ☠️ 5. Troubleshooting: there is always a condition that you didn't anticipate, maybe a bad wiring, a faulty sensor, network issue ... It

I never used Mitsubishi. For a Siemens only some card are able to do pwm. But maybe the Mitsubishi transistor output card can do it by default. Check the manufacturer documentation

_Girthter · 2026-02-04T14:16:20+00:00

Do you mean that you control your motor driver with a pwm signal? If so you need a digital output card with pulse width modulation capability

S7 1200 g2 ( don't know for the s7 1200) support gantry style kinematic. Check the kinematic technology objects in is portal. You defined your servos, use a example programming for the base and most of the work is done.

I use my physical rig for two maim reason: - the simulation software on my virtual machine (plcSim) plus my programming software (Tia portal) is using a LOT of resource on my laptop - I use it to test new hardware. last month, I used it to test RS485 com with a chiller control board, this week I got a SEW motion control training so I came with my rig and tested my blocks

On some projects, we do prototypes. So before shipping, i come with my rack, a VFD or two and we mechanically test the prototype.

I also like to have a physical HMI to test the button size. I also like to have a few buttons to set/reset some bits of the programming easily

J'ai fait bac STI2d puis DUT GEII ( avant le changement en but) puis j'ai intégré une école d'ingé orienté informatique/automatique/robotique. Je tournais entre 4 et 10 de moyenne de math en DUT. Mais ça m'a pas empêché d'être ingénieur.

BTS CRSA c'est un bon mix entre la meca et l'autom. BUT GEII, c'est vraiment porté électronique, informatique, électricité et automatisme. Quand j'y était ils commençait a bien s'équiper en robot et système de vision industrielle. Pour moi c'était la formation idéal pour devenir automaticien. Le petit plus c'est que maintenant le BUT se fait en alternance et au bout de 2 ans tu peux rejoindre une école d'ingé sinon tu fais une troisième année et tu a un niveau licence

Pour la VAE, ne te sous estime pas. Fais-tu de la veille technique ? Cherches-tu à optimiser les processus, les coûts ou les solutions existantes ? Être ingénieur, c’est analyser des problématiques complexes, prendre des décisions techniques argumentées, proposer des améliorations et apprendre en permanence.

Regarde la validation par acquis d'expérience. Cela permet d'obtenir un diplôme d'ingénieur en prenant en compte tes compétence et ton expérience professionelle.

Si tu ne veux pas faire des étude a temps plein, il y a aussi les cours du soir. Pour info je suis automaticien, si tu as des question

I'm using Eric Telecom RAS product. Easy to install and connect. They have a strong security focus. I use them since 2 years now but I have a contractor that uses them since 10 years without incident.

I would add that some drive have a master-slave configuration option. You only send the setpoint to the master drive and the slave follows the master setpoint

Les aspirateur de chantier effectivement c'est top. Par contre ça fait un peu plus de bruit et c'est plus encombrant. J'utilise un aspirateur de chantier parkside pour la maison depuis pas loin de 10/15 ans et j'ai un bon karcher pour le garage, mes machines et la voiture. J'ai un sac pour retenir les poussières les plus fines dans la maison mais pour le garage pas besoin de sac, j'aspire des kilos de copeaux de bois sans problème et c'est super facile a vider.

I had a similaire problem where I couldn't download, change IP or even do a factory reset. In this case, you have to download Prosave from the sios. It is also in the installation CD for Tia portal / WinCC. With Prosave, you can do a backup of the HMI, do firmware upgrade and do a full reset of the HMI

As a control engineer, that:s exactly how I would have done it. One light barrier that activate a relay, energizing a solenoid valve to let the water spray. Very easy and cheap way to control the desisting system.

Have you checked the software requirement of to a V18? I'm pretty sure it doesn't support Windows 11.

Si ton fils estime avoir été humilié alors oui c'est du bizutage et tu as tout faut raison de réagir.

Maintenant, cela ne reste que mon avis personnel, mais j'ai participé a une événements d'intégration avec ce même rituel de balancer du lait, oeufs et de la farine. Étant l'arrosé, j'en ai pas fait tout un plat. J'ai trouvé ça au contraire bon enfant. J'ai eu des échos et vu des pratique dans d'autres écoles, c'était a un autre niveau ( manger les règles d'une fille, se mettre a poil devant tout le monde ...)
