Sounds like job security to me.

I am still fairly new at this company and was just asked to "make it work" because at first they couldn't open the drawings at all. I would consider AutoCAD and like to get more experience using it other than the slight tinkering I have done on my own to play around with it but the company I...

thread555-188053 I tried to look up a similar thread but no luck and not sure if anyone has had this problem or not. At my office we (myself and the only other engineer) use Microsoft Visio to do any drawings or schematics, mainly because he has been here for 8 + years and that is what he...

Well played dV8r, I like it. [tongue]

In some cases it is, others you can't really tell. I had one interview where they talked with me over the phone (the HR department and one other management person) had my resume and asked questions, knew I was just out of school with only a single internship that wasn't related to their field...

I keep getting recruiter calls from CareerBuilder but that has been the jist of it. Head hunter calls, talks, passes on info to company then calls back to say they are shooting for local. I did manage a few interviews from CareerBuilder as well. I had a resume on Indeed.com and a few others...

Hi guys/gals, My co worker came up to me today and asked me to find/price an Allen-Bradley PLC and programming software for a project we have. He didn't give me much information but I figured a start would be to ask here and call our local rep. to see what I can find out. All I know so far is I...

Mike, Yes I have heard that before and completely agree unless the team leaves that member in the dust and does everything around/without them which isn't good or helpful for anyone. I just wanted to know in the sense of the original post what were they calling a leader. I personally love being...

I'll bite as well, I didn't know or need to know (right now) but well played with the picture examples and explanations. I would probably be entertained by a power point presentation created and given by you as well jraef!

What are we considering to be a leading position? Leading a team of electricians on a job? Leader a team of engineers on projects? I guess I am confused as to what a "leader" is in this field... Designing projects/equipment is leading and having others build/complete it in the field...

So I am curious how this turned out. He said he was going to go ahead and ask for a different project or transfer or whatever and we haven't heard the result... perhaps packing and looking for a new employer? :P hope it worked out well for you though with whichever path you took.

Bah I thought I had put in a reply to this thread before I was away, sorry about that but yes I agree with itsmoked. It is a simply PLC compared to some that are out there but worked great as a learning tool and for the projects I have had to do thus far. He is correct about the thousands of...

Well stated JBoggs, I really didn't have anything to say to the thread but I had to give you a star and props after that. Attitude is everything!

Not sure if it has a standard on that but if you look at the spec sheet for the power supply some times it lists by the dimensions what clearance it requires. I just had a PLC with a PSU and some other cards and it required like 6" on each side from any other equipment or enclosure walls for...

Thanks for clarifying jraef, I was trying to help but had not used that before so was just hoping maybe it was a user order error but that makes sense from what you posted.

I think that it gravitates more to the electrical engineering realm because most of the electives in the EE program today are based around controls, embedded systems, industrial controls. I just graduated last December and since the University I attended had lost their power professor most of...

Are you referring to rung comments, data tags, both? When you turn off monitor mode do the comments reappear? Did you save the program then load it into the PLC then try to turn on monitoring mode? If you didn't save it into the PLC it might be reading an earlier version of the code from the...

It doesn't look like they have any actual codes associated with them from what I can see but for the gripple wire hangers it has safety factors for the size and weight. Gripple Hangers or here was the local vendors verison BLine Gripples sorry if it doesn't answer your question but maybe it's a...

Let me see if I can find something on that. Not sure if it is an actual code or not but I was actually pricing fixtures/hanging methods the other day for a project and they had recommended cable/chain values based on the weight of the fixtures. I was looking at gripple hangers though.

We used another one for schematics while I was still in school called Circuit Maker I think it had it's own format as well (I believe it was .ckt files?) but it was easier just to go to visio do any wiring diagrams and then if you needed components like PLC's you could download the drawings and...
