I love to see persons like you competent and qualified to work on Electrical work. Qualified means in the NEC, a worker who can work safely without injuring himself or others. A SAFETY kill device. YELLOW means caution or trouble. KILL the damn machine when its hurting hero workers.
Great question. I have done all of the lessons so far with the free version of Connected Components Workbench just so I would have exactly the same experience as someone starting out. There is no additional PLC functionality that the paid version gives you though it does have several features that make editing easier
hi Tim These drivers have the first scan bit? I need to reset a counter when the PLC goes into run mode (every time it is energized) Is it possible to do this?
Are you aware of how significantly worse the Micro 850 PLC simulator scan time can be. From Rockwell's Micro 800 selection brochure, I gather that the best-case scan time for Micro 850 is
I would doubt it would be a concern, I always say that the simulators are good for beginners who are just trying to learn the very basic instructions but it sounds like you've moved on and probably need a test PLC on your desk to develop your code.
@@TimWilborne This is just for my capstone project, I am aware that the simulator won't be as consistent in terms of low scan time. I was just curious if you have stumbled across unusual scan times while using the simulator. Just need to check a few more requirements before the client is ok with the proposed solution and he will submit an RFQ for the controller.
Honestly I've only used the simulator to make a video to show how it works. I can't speak for the Micro800 simulator but there were many differences even in how instructions are executed and the outcome with RSLogix emulate. It wouldn't surprise me if this would have similar discrepancies.
