I'm recently getting into the field of PLC's and Automation due to my job that is in Renewable Energy realm. As a young professional I don't know how majority of this stuff works and I find automation and PLCs extremely intriguing so I want to learn more. I Googled/RU-vidd a bunch and finally found a good step-by-step video! Thank you.
This served as a good reminder for me to make sure I have speced out and ordered every part I'll need to actually land wire from the field to the PLC card. Love the videos, keep it going guys!
Great video Im near to graduating with an I&E degree and my studies were a bit vague This page's videos are a great summary to some of the classes that were required A great refresher and boost of confidence heading into the interviews phase Greatly appreciated
I learned about front connectors and how they're used with modules to get all terminal connections out to the field. This was very helpful to see physically, thank you!
I did not know that an additional accessory namely the Front Connector would have to be purchased with the modules. Watching this video has definitely saved me some trouble. Thank you!
I use ferrules in my work I'm a Technical Support Engineer for a machine company. but I'm in the field often. Its great to see how others work. You can develop some new ideas and strategies. Thank you all for the valuable content you provide I'm subscribed to the Online Library. There's a wealth of knowledge there and I'd recommend others look into it. People think I'm a PLC master when troubleshooting incoming calls.
Hey! Thanks a lot for your kind compliment! We are always extremely happy to hear such positive feedback! If you ever have any questions, feel free to reach out to us. Happy learning!
I’m about to start my new Job as an I&E tech in a few weeks time. Watching your videos helped me land an interview then onward to a Job Offer, mostly due to the education of your videos. Thank you!!
Amazing videos ! I have electronic background but not much field experience, thanks to your videos I'm finally not scared of controll panels and started to understand how things are working.Love your videos, please keep up with great work👏💪💪💪
That's amazing to hear, Grzegorz! If you have any questions in the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time - we're more than happy to help!
I work in Operations, Process & Automations Controls Engineering for an OEM as a Field Service Engineer. Here is what I think after being a recent subscriber in the last month and after watching about 100+ of these videos because I myself find them so damn valuable in my own job and to enhance my education in what I do on the job. Whomever the guy is doing these videos and his team, but especially the guy explaining and narrating these videos and whomever his boss is They Should Make Sure They Keep This Guy Doing These Video’s. As Well Give This Guy A Rey Nice Raise. That’s not a joke. Because all I’m saying is these videos are very high quality made, explained and yeah... explained for which I find them invaluable in my own job doing many Major Automation Upgrades and Commissioning Startup with our own OEM equipment at our customer sites which are almost all Power Plants. Real pars is a huge thumbs up to me.
the most thing i like about your tutorials, that they're short and direct to the point . this is really matter when you need a piece of info while working on the project. thank you and keep going
I'm trying to acquire more knowledge about controls and electrical stuff, I find you videos really helpful and interesting , thank you for sharing your experience!!
I am new to the world of PLCs. Loved the simplicity of your videos. Have already watched three of them in last 30mins. Loved each one of them!! Thank you!!
Nice video. I recently started a machinery technician job. While I have yet to wire a sensor directly to an I/O terminal box I have done prox sensor replacements and wiring repair. We use ferrules all the time
Thank you for this Video! I am starting to write my bachelor thesis on a station, which works with S7 and I don't have any idea what should do and where should I start from because at the university we only learn some ODE and algorithms. I study Mechatronics and Automatisation. Your videos save me thousands of work hours!
Thank you! Happy to hear that. All the best of luck with your Bachelor Thesis! We also have a free course on PLC Hardware, might be helpful to you as well realpars.vhx.tv/browse Happy learning! :)
Can you please make a video about Emerson I/O modules and VIM? Your videos are very helpful. The only drawback I could see is that it is solely based on Siemens PLC hardware.
This is what I have been waiting for picked up a Siemens s7-300 on ebay with a digital and analog input modules and am learning how to wire it up as I have some k type thermocouples that I would love to be able to use.
was wondering if you have any videos regarding connecting thermo couples as I assume that the modules have an internal comp which would allow me to hook it straight up to the ai module?
OMG :: Amazing content. Thank you for creating the channel and creating these amazing videos that show the real life devices as well as simulations. Thank you.
Thanks for the video. Im on the third year of electrical engineering and I'm still thinking about which field of engineering I should focus. System engineering seems the right choice for me. Hope I can work with PLCs
I don't recommend using both hands to crimp the ferrule onto the wire as the wire/ferrule might slide out of place. I recommend using two hands to partially squeeze the crimping tool down (it has a ratcheting mechanism that will hold itself in place until you've squeezed it all the way down) so you can hold and crimp the ferrule with one hand (that is if your hands aren't big enough to squeeze it with one hand when the crimping tool is wide open) and hold the wire/ferrule with the other hand. I always pre-crimp the crimping tool down enough so there there is a small hole to slide the wire/ferrule in to ensure a perfect crimp every time.
After watching this video I learnt how devices placed in a remote location are wired to a PLC's input module. Interfacing control signal wires to the "front connector", an accessory required to be attached to the analog input module, is done using wire ferrules. Remove a chunk of an insulated wire using a wire stripper and insert the wire into a ferrule, a metal cap that strengthens the electrical connection. After crimping the ferrule, insert it into the front connector so that the information is relayed to the PLC.
This was an excellent video which came after a long waiting time of more than a month. Hope the other part will come soon. Please upload frequently your excellent and lovely work as we all are looking forward for your uploads. The learning point for me here of using ferrules even though it is basic but important to use in such situation to avoid shorting to the surrounding. Regards,
That is true dear sir. Same is the case with me. It take a lot of time to shoot and edit a video with quality. Anyhow your videos are great and helping a lot. Thanks for your reply.
really knowledgeable videos. please upload a video for programming and details of encoder with PLC ☺ .and which type of module is used for interfacing.
