What are you using PLC's in Sy?  or were you on a course?

I did a course about 18 months ago, probably not overly advanced and I've not touched one since so I guess a whole load of skill fade  :laugh:

Im doing a degree in building services(electrical) design and managment.  This was part of one of the fundamentals modules before we hit the design phase and building managament phases etc. 

we spent most of the last few weeks programming the PLCs for lift systems, HVAC and water systems etc.  the went into a bit of scada system managment.  Should hopefully go into it in a lot more detail later on in the course when we do the the BMS modules.

i know what you mean, the 7 of us on this course are all electricians, and the in instructors always presume we remember every little bit of theory for electrics.  They ususlly get a blank look back :scared: 

I think i have given him whathe needed anyway, as much as i could off the top of my head anyway

Sounds familiar... I spent a while programming M6800 processors back in about 2001. I wouldn't have a clue where to start now!  :ashamed:
