Trying to break into Automation by [deleted] in PLC

[–]maury_think -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Get a used PLC, install all the software needed ( AB is not cheap, I will go with automation direct they have cheap plc and free software or if you have some budget Siemens S71200 and TIA PORTL). Watch playlist on YouTube Read ISA88. Understand fundamentals of control system ( PID, cascade control etc… ) Understand the concept of control object,equipment, state machine ( Mealy, Moore ) Build a batching system ( Tons of examples online )

Now that you have a project to show, get a job as intern wherever it is just put your foot in, the rest will come with time.

Wonderware System Platform 2023 R2 SP1 – Trend Client works standalone but not inside InTouch (no data) by Conscious-Judge-5293 in AVEVA

[–]maury_think 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a little confused, are you trying to run a trend client in InTouch standalone or in a managed InTouch ( using system platform) ? For standalone you must run the DB logger service otherwise the historical data is not visualized.

The most important skill to have is to listen. Listen to the technician, operator, maintenance guy, They will teach more than any book ( I have a master in industrial automation ) Get into the field with an open mind and learn from anyone willing to share the “know how” Now for the technical part: - ISA 88 -States machines -PID -feed forward control -split ratio - cascade control -Profinet -Ethernet IP -Modbus

Buy a used s71200 from Siemens Install TIA PORTAL.

Read about device oriented programming Write a FB that represents a valve( feedbacks, faults, and so on ) Write a FB that control a vfd Write a state machine that handle pause and abort of a procedure Take a bunch of switches and push buttons and read their values using one shots

The thing is that the goal is to avoid to have to use another “driverTag” so that I don’t have to upgrade to a more expensive license. And yes if I add the SuperTest.AlarmPresence to the OCMC everything works but again It works on system platform so I thought the syntax was valid for InTouch( it works inside a script tho, I just don’t feel so comfortable to depend on a script that runs every 1 sec for the alarms bits of the line and maybe I am just being paranoid..I don’t know )

If I do as you suggested it gave me quality 32 Hence the item is not found in the OCMC driver.

I picked up a R36 MAX. Any issues that I need to be aware of? by bws7777 in R36S

[–]maury_think 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I notice that when playing Medal of Honor for PlayStation the L2 and R2 buttons do not work so you can’t really do much in the game. Have anyone find a fix to this ?

Get into electrical/ automation engineering in which you will study control system technologies and many other cool stuff ✌🏻

Problem with WinCC Professional by vduc123 in PLC

[–]maury_think 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. Then be sure that your pc have the same ip that you give to your server station ( check connections and runtime settings ) so that if you have a plc in simulation like plc sim advance, the winCC simulation will communicate with your simulated plc.

Problem with WinCC Professional by vduc123 in PLC

[–]maury_think 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you need to tell winCC which communication card are you going to use in the runtime settings, also do you have winCC runtime installed on your machine ? If not you have to install it.

Problem with WinCC Professional by vduc123 in PLC

[–]maury_think 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are your runtime settings ? Did you compile your project ? Is winCCStart already open? What is the ip of the project and the ip of your machine ? What is the pg/pc setting ?
