I'm recently getting into the field of PLC's and Automation due to my job that is in Renewable Energy realm. As a young professional I don't know how majority of this stuff works and I find automation and PLCs extremely intriguing so I want to learn more. I Googled/KZbind a bunch and finally found a good step-by-step video! Thank you.

[@realpars]

Thanks for sharing your positive feedback with us, Cesar! Great to hear. Happy learning :)

[@engineeredappliancerepair2752]

I use ferrules in my work I'm a Technical Support Engineer for a machine company. but I'm in the field often. Its great to see how others work. You can develop some new ideas and strategies. Thank you all for the valuable content you provide I'm subscribed to the Online Library. There's a wealth of knowledge there and I'd recommend others look into it. People think I'm a PLC master when troubleshooting incoming calls.

[@realpars]

Hey! Thanks a lot for your kind compliment! We are always extremely happy to hear such positive feedback! If you ever have any questions, feel free to reach out to us. Happy learning!

[@amitsaini9149]

I am a Chemical Engineer working in a Petrochemical Plant and these videos have been a great boost to my learning

[@realpars]

Amit, great to hear you found this video helpful!

[@ardentdfender4116]

I work in Operations, Process & Automations Controls Engineering for an OEM as a Field Service Engineer. Here is what I think after being a recent subscriber in the last month and after watching about 100+ of these videos because I myself find them so damn valuable in my own job and to enhance my education in what I do on the job. Whomever the guy is doing these videos and his team, but especially the guy explaining and narrating these videos and whomever his boss is They Should Make Sure They Keep This Guy Doing These Video’s. As Well Give This Guy A Rey Nice Raise. That’s not a joke. Because all I’m saying is these videos are very high quality made, explained and yeah... explained for which I find them invaluable in my own job doing many Major Automation Upgrades and Commissioning Startup with our own OEM equipment at our customer sites which are almost all Power Plants. Real pars is a huge thumbs up to me.

[@realpars]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us! Happy to hear that!

[@realpars]

That's amazing to hear! Thank you so much for sharing, and best of luck with your new job. Happy learning!

[@brettwashburn9611]

This served as a good reminder for me to make sure I have speced out and ordered every part I'll need to actually land wire from the field to the PLC card. Love the videos, keep it going guys!

[@realpars]

Glad you like the video. Thanks for watching!

[@geppeto]

You're teaching skills are remarcable! simple and useful for everybody to understand. good job! keep it that way!

[@realpars]

Hi Costin, we’re stoked to hear that you found our videos helpful. Thanks for the feedback! :)

[@texas4434]

Great video Im near to graduating with an I&E degree and my studies were a bit vague This page's videos are a great summary to some of the classes that were required A great refresher and boost of confidence heading into the interviews phase Greatly appreciated

[@rmrieee9748]

What courses other than Electrical engineering?

[@baconsledge]

All your videos are valuable and top-notch quality. So impressive!

[@realpars]

Great to hear! Thanks a lot!

[@ohnoesgoes]

I learned about front connectors and how they're used with modules to get all terminal connections out to the field. This was very helpful to see physically, thank you!

[@realpars]

Glad to hear that!

[@SK-zy6pj]

I am new to the world of PLCs. Loved the simplicity of your videos. Have already watched three of them in last 30mins. Loved each one of them!! Thank you!!

[@Blades-fm6ck]

Those front connectors look great! So much easier to connect the wires compared to some other PLC modules, where wiring is awkward and fiddly.

[@realpars]

Very true!

Thank you for this Video! I am starting to write my bachelor thesis on a station, which works with S7 and I don't have any idea what should do and where should I start from because at the university we only learn some ODE and algorithms. I study Mechatronics and Automatisation. Your videos save me thousands of work hours!

This was an excellent video which came after a long waiting time of more than a month. Hope the other part will come soon. Please upload frequently your excellent and lovely work as we all are looking forward for your uploads. The learning point for me here of using ferrules even though it is basic but important to use in such situation to avoid shorting to the surrounding. Regards,

[@realpars]

Creating high quality videos take time but we're trying to upload more frequently here! Thanks for your input and sharing what you learned.

Very professional and we'll explained, thanks

[@realpars]

Thank you! Great to hear.

[@91Jawad]

After watching this video I learnt how devices placed in a remote location are wired to a PLC's input module. Interfacing control signal wires to the "front connector", an accessory required to be attached to the analog input module, is done using wire ferrules. Remove a chunk of an insulated wire using a wire stripper and insert the wire into a ferrule, a metal cap that strengthens the electrical connection. After crimping the ferrule, insert it into the front connector so that the information is relayed to the PLC.

[@realpars]

Glad to hear that, happy learning!

This is what I have been waiting for picked up a Siemens s7-300 on ebay with a digital and analog input modules and am learning how to wire it up as I have some k type thermocouples that I would love to be able to use.

[@realpars]

Awesome! Let us know of any questions.

[@thechriskelly12]

was wondering if you have any videos regarding connecting thermo couples as I assume that the modules have an internal comp which would allow me to hook it straight up to the ai module?
