Hey bud, can I ask do they have Allen Bradley PLCs at your new job? Hope things are going well with it btw! I did shift maintenance at an OSB mill for Weyerhaeuser for about ten years. Alot of plc work almost exclusively Allen Bradley. They had PLC 5s, SLC (slick) 500s, micrologix, contrologix, im probably forgetting a few but you get the idea. The most fun job I've ever had troubleshooting and programming PLCs, VFDs and all kinds of other stuff.

@@michaelknight4041 yeah we use allen bradley exclusively. We build custom panels/skids and install asi networks, hmi's, anything the customer wants. I have SO much to learn, but i can tell my company is really invested in me. I am being trained on the whole process to be a controls engineer. And i will finish my bachelors of controls/automation engineering in about a year. So far ive helped set up a pasteurization line for the dairy industry, connected hundreds of devices to an asi network in an applesauce plant, replaced and programmed a vfd, written some I/O routines. Im starting to work with ladder logic and HMI panels now. Life is good. I love it.

loved this video and love all the content you put out. As a maintenance tech dealing with allen bradley plc's at a high pace distribution center your content has really helped. keep it up!

Just as a note at 38min in, to find an IP address. I use an IP scanner to find the address of a PLC. Most show a description and it will say something about AB... Product etc. Most modern routers have firmware improvements that reserve IP addresses matched to device descriptions so if you connect a device often it will "reserve" that IP for that device. Thought that might help.

Omg thank you for explaining download vs upload! I've literally overwritten all my logic and thought it would be really embarrassing to ask for help at work... Only to realize I just didn't understand what downloading meant. Ah I definitely learned the HARD way

@TimWilborne

RsLogix 5 is the Window's equivalent to 6200 but for one PLC, it may not be worth the money if you are not going to have to connect to it often. Another option would be a virtual machine such as Virtualbox to emulate a DOS session on a modern computer.
