He’s just downloading. You don’t program on job. You create program in office then download or fix a few bugs.

Plcs is what I’m learning and how to maintain automated systems can’t wait to finish this year

Ah, what I used to do. Happily retired these days. :)

Although I still help friends out. We were working on a Fanuc robot that loads and unloads a Mazak Integrex lathe yesterday. The PLC is a Compact Logix, and the HMI software is the free and outstanding AdvancedHMI.

We are also working on a conversion from a Compact Logix to a Turck TBEN PLC for use in Antarctica. The reason for the conversion is to reduce the size of the equipment since anything electronic has to be removed from the machine and stored above -40C. The Compact Logix was too big, and the university was getting tired of paying the "Rockwell tax". :)

CODESYS was easy to learn and use, but up next is the HMI programming. We'll see how that goes. :)

Any advice for how to get into the field… when you live in an area that doesn’t have many educational institutions where I can learn hands on? I have a good bit of mechanical experience and I’ve also worked as a plant technician the past 2+ years. I do have a fair bit of experience but officially I don’t have experience in this field and I’m not sure on how to actually get into it. Are there places that will hire you and train you in this field? Or is this something I would have to go to a school to learn?

Any work out there I got experience? I’m currently installing PLCs in all the Walmart DCs. Currently making around 1800$ a week. I’m free after July 10th if you got something around those dates.
