The next Do & Grow scenario is in the works!

This will have multiple aspects to it, looking at enabling all smaller PLCs to have their own MQTT Clients

First look at the HMI for the sand filter project

This is the base screen that we'll use to convert non-faceplate objects into faceplate ones. We'll see how much more quickly the development of a screen can be!

This script saved me a big chunk of time, and risk of copy/paste errors, by using the objects name to create the navigation link to a page.

@SkySportsF1 You should be showing qualifying now though, not the notebook...

Classic mistake from me this morning 🙃

Testing a sequence and getting some weird behaviour, shutting the sequence down when it should be healthy.

Eventually tracked it down to using the same coil twice (second one should be "_Inhibit").

This is a case…https://t.co/z4T3MIWaEI

I've run 3 live events this year and they've been really well received. These have all been the "Introduction To Structured Design In TIA Portal" event.

I'm now looking to expand on offerings there, I'll still run the same event (Introduction To Structur…https://t.co/6umvxfjTMN

Cross referencing in TIA Portal is powerful, with lots of different modes of operation to get the most out of it, but did you know that you can freeze the cross reference list?

By clicking the little pin, circled in the image, the cross reference list wi…https://t.co/8qSMQbeMyZ

Not my normal automation post and not something that I post often (or ever before), but something that is more important right now...

Love TIA Portal, but....

I wish there was a way of telling TIA not to do this. I want my branches to appear below the ones above, not trying to slot it in to the left if it'll fit.

I've found myself using TRUE constants in order to move the coils out fa…https://t.co/c1XWgnhKBy

Not long to go!

There's still time to jump on the introduction to structured design zoom event tomorrow morning!

Siemens, please fix this in TIA Portal, its very annoying!

"Please reset the call environment" is the most annoying message when debugging / writing code. I get it if there's multiple instances and you've changed the parent so TIA cannot guarantee the ca…https://t.co/mL0dJAte1d

Another live run through for Structured design has been planned for the 13th May! This is a weekend date in the morning, so if you couldn't make the last one, perhaps this is a little easier for you!

You can find out more about it…https://t.co/ZJKF0OSQzO https://t.co/yoCVSQl8Hy

Posting for visibility, someone hopefully has a solution to this? https://t.co/Je1KvuX2Ec
