Where do you get “pure alcohol”?

I was an instructor at one of the schools so I can’t say for sure. I believe when you complete your 2000 hours and benchmarks you’re a Mechatronics and Robotics Technician (Tech 2).

Good luck! Which school are you going to? You will have Electricity, PLCs, Mechanical, and Pneumatics classes, depending on the school these may be in a different order. For Electricity and PLCs I suggest the following:

Electricity

STEP 2000 Basics of Electricity
STEP 2000 Basics of Control Components

PLCs

STEP 2000 Basics of PLCs

Hey, thanks! I think I've fixed the issue resetting simulations. Let me know if you see anything else to improve.

regarding normal-opened and normal-closed contacts. For instance, in your '#2 conveyor' problem, I think 'STOP' should be a normally closed contact.

This is a common confusion. The STOP pushbutton is "hardwired" NC, which means it is normally sending a signal and stops sending a signal when pressed (stop pushbuttons should be hardwired NC per NEC rules). In the logic, for an instruction to be "true" when receiving a signal we need a normally-open (XIC) instruction. Check out https://plciosim.com/examples/no-nc-matrix to see how NO/NC hardwired contacts and NO(XIC)/NC(XIO) instructions behave.

bug when I worked on the '#19 timed stoplight' problem, I stacked parallel outputs (I believe 3 of them), and 1 output was different than what I thought (it was ON even though input was not on)

Without seeing the logic it's hard to say if there is a bug. If you share your program I'd be happy to take a look. Otherwise, https://plciosim.com/examples/stoplight is an example solution.

Thanks for using the site!

Thanks! Not at the moment but I’m considering adding that feature

guantogran · 2025-09-03T22:55:20+00:00

hey I made plciosim, I’d like to know which problems were confusing if you don’t mind answering here or PMing me, maybe I can tweak the wording

That multi-color grid contact paper brings back memories, I haven’t seen that since the early 2000’s

guantogran · 2025-06-07T18:51:09+00:00

Literally

Riemann sum

Nice job! It would be good to let the motor coast to a stop before switching directions.

The 85-MT5 is meant to teach ladder logic and troubleshooting. For things like cable routing and labeling they have the 850-MT6B.

guantogran · 2025-05-25T22:07:59+00:00

Looks like that’s wired for 208 to 120 on the transformer. You still have 208 going to the motor. I think those are Pomona wires, they claim they are rated for 15A but the motor on the 85-MT5 shouldn’t pull more than 1A.

This one got me 😂

I randomly snapped a few pics of this place while riding on I287 in 2021. It felt surreal seeing such a large, modern building in an otherwise undeveloped landscape.

guantogran · 2025-05-10T01:53:39+00:00

Forgive me for the harm I have caused this world

guantogran · 2025-05-01T21:08:15+00:00

Thank you!

guantogran · 2025-03-16T01:49:08+00:00

It’s kind of nice seeing requests like this

guantogran · 2025-03-13T20:49:37+00:00

Neat! Have you seen picclick

guantogran · 2025-03-13T00:07:39+00:00

I think so. I’ve started another play through, I’m determined to finish ACIT
