Best video on youtube regarding the explanation of data blocks

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

Thanks a lot, hopefully you have subbed for more!

[@aamirawan7998]

@@ScantimeAutomationTraining I sure have Sir

[@plctrainings5400]

Best explanation of data blocks GOD bless you my dear

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for the video😊

[@ratsimaratralivaarijaona]

Very clear, best explaination

[@osutakizito2688]

This is the best PLC programmer

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

Thanks!

[@PiKei-s8z]

Brilliant 👏 I like the way you explain things

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@AmIi-jh8di]

So good explanation thank you very much

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

Glad it was helpful!

[@gcinangidi4736]

Thank you so much!

[@Blades-fm6ck]

Excellent, clear explanation. My only slight bugbear is the volume of the background music, maybe turn it down a tad. Don't get me wrong, great content. Subscribed.

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

Thanks for the tip!

Great stuff

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

Thanks a lot!

[@kabilslimen4701]

Thanks

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

No problem

[@bryanfrancisco-t7x]

How to use the start time in that DB?

[@hewking]

hi is it possible to compare 2 datablocks if they match using some library function?

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

I would need to look at this.

[@michaelcostello6991]

Where are the Data Blocks actually stored. Is this something we do not need to consider as they cannot clash with the other memory area like bits bytes and words. Does the PLC handle everything to do with the storage of the Data Blocks

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

Data Blocks are stored within the PLC, there are a finite number of DBs that you can create but this ranges into the thousands, so we shouldn't need to worry too much about that

[@badreddineessahi6457]

Could you use these data blocks to log data from an HMI panel?

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

You certainly can!

[@firashamdan4175]

very good

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

Thanks

[@altaibskt1]

thanks

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

No problem

[@ahmedatef5563]

Please make course on modular(structural) programming

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

Could you explain more?

[@sarahhussien3104]

Without background music please , it is distracting

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

Apologies!
