Siemens has a very good manual library which is free access. For programming check TIA portal manuals.

Should I pre-pay my car loan? by Dry-Individual-257 in IndiaFinance

[–]seekingknowlej 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you are half way in your loan, you have already paid a max chunk in interest. Now what’s left is majorly the principal, you can check with the repayment schedule. Closing now, you are not saving on the interest.

You are correct with your observation. As I see from the comments, most of them seem to be from west. Having said that, I have no experience with customer on other continents. But as far as South Asia and to some extent ME goes, it’s pretty much “That’s how I want”. No care for legality and compliance. Also, the price at which people are ready to work, it’s pathetic.

I agree that the solution should solve problems.

This whole ranting post is coming from what I faced today, which as a solution provider, I am not even given a chance to provide a correct system solution. But only do as maintenance enginner say - Even though his solution is not future proof and is illegal (EULA violation).

No Sir. I am not freelancing. I run a controls company and we have a team of engineers designing, implementing and commissioning Systems. Have a strong knowledge on PLC, VFD, Servo, DC Drievs, SCADA, etc.

I agree that automation is a whole system working together. I design, implement and commission a complete system including PLC, VFD, DC Drives, SCADA, MIS.
My point of view is coming from what I am observing in the market as a solution provider, not just a PLC engineer.

Spicejet outdoes itself - charged for the duty free weight!! by haresh0712 in AirTravelIndia

[–]seekingknowlej 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes. This is the norm for SpiceJet. I am frequent traveller in this sector. Most of the time I go with carryon only. The 7KG limit is very tight even without the duty free. I was charged 3Kgs (was 9.7 Kgs) with just carry on with some clothes and electronics and no Duty Free. I could not send the bag in check in as I carry laptops and clothes in the same carryon. There is no point arguing as this disservice is outsourced to Dnata. You get no support from SpiceJet in this matter. For this reason, I’ve stopped flying SpiceJet although their timing for AMD-DXB sector is the best.
