A coming engineering shortage ? ---- Who agrees ?
Respectfully disagree. As we live in a global market now, its possible for other countries to over supply a number of engineers keeping the salary down. An educational trade imbalance if you will. But if you look at the technical level like automation technicians, maintenance, then yes there is...- bin95

PLC "program error"
Re-download your latest certified working backup copy in to the PLC. This will either correct the problem or let you know the program is not the problem and it is a hardware problem. Under a load, it is not uncommon to see slightly less than 24vd. But if you do not know where to go in Mitsubishi...- bin95

PLC and PC Connection
Hi farzad89: In reading this string of replies, I was disappointed IRstuff's reply to you. [shadessad] I thought oh, if you give him brand, he can answer. Then you gave him brand and just replied [ask Siemens, not me]. I thought if he is spending time replying, he might offer us some insight...- bin95

PLC 24V PWM Output to 5V PWM microcontroller logic
Typically in dealing with 5v, you are dealing with solid state circuits, and therefor TTL interface would be best (speed and reliability). Don BIN Industrial & PLC Training http://bin95.com- bin95

PLC Failure Probability
Failure probability is categorized like this (in order of most likely to least likely. Mechanical Electro-Mechanical High Current Low Current Solid State As you eluded to, environment can be an exception to the general rule. (Relay card most likely, and MTBF is useless unless solid state, as...- bin95

PLC Configuration
You need to first set the PLC processor model type (CPU/RTU model number) in the PLC program to match the RTU/PLC processor you will be downloading program to. (model number example F4570, F4571 ... F4585) For US and Canada support contact: 1 (847) 576-4116 or ckc001@motorolasolutions.com...- bin95

KNOCK OUT
Next time (and anyone else seeing their design requires 5-10 counter/rate meters in a single panel door), use a HMI screen instead like Allen Bradley's Panelview. Then you will be only cutting out one squire to mount HMI screen, and you get the added functionality and expandability at little cost.- bin95
