Has anyone ever programmed a Fagor PLC 64 using a Fagor 8025 MK control and a PC running Fagor software? IF so, I am looking for how to do it. Thanks in advance!!

Our Field support Technicians are receiving new laptop computers. They are all Windows 7 64 bit laptops. We have a bit of a dilemma.... We have changed to Siemens PLC's... so, the 90-30 PLC's are becoming few and far between. Our old laptops (Windows XP) had LM90 instaled on them and it worked out quite well... but not so much on the new ones... My question is.... Is there a version of LM90 that will work natively in 64 bit Windows 7, or will these all have to be upgraded to Proficy? There are about 40 laptops total... We do not want to set all of them up with a dual boot system and compatibility mode will not work (16bit vs. 64 bit)

cmoore73..... My name is Chip Moore......"cmoore" and "73" is used in amateur radio meaning "a friendly word between fellow operators" dating back to the old telegraph days where short and sweet was the name of the game. I have been a licensed amateur radio operator for 22 years. I earned my first license at the ripe old age of 10. so.... the full meaning is .... "a friendly word from chip moore" -

I am in the marketo for a Bucket of Steam to clean my bearings in. I was told that if you soak old bearings in a bucket of steam overnight, they will be totally "old grease" free by morning!!! I am also in need of concrete welding rods for welding up all of the holes in our shop floor from machine mounting anchors. -

If this went on for long, it would become a case of Natural Selection at work!!! I glad that someone put an end to it. I just hopw that whoever buys it on E-Bay does not ust it for the same purpose. Although, it looks like it is being sold "as-is", meaning with the chair attached. The pictures do not encourage industrial use very well though!!! -

It seems that everyone is either being bought or sold these days. I just heard that on of our biggest suppliers here has been bought out by an even b igger supplier. The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer...... -
Me too. I prefer to use the Phoenix Contact wire ferrules on anything smaller that 22 AWG though.
-
Not too bad for a sales pitch. I have been in the first situation though (with the elephand and the small box). NOT FUN!!!! I didn't have a problem with the download either.

Looks Awesome, Chako!!!!! I am just wondering how you find all of the extra time with the heavy duty machine build you are "supposed" to be working feverishly on??????? LOL Maybe next year at my house. I just have to convince the wife to let me do it! -

I have had very good luck with a PCMCIA card that gives me to real 16550 UART serial ports. It is made by a company called "Socket". It is: Socket part Number: SL0703-081 I buy it from CDW as number: 104101 -
Mostly automotive, but we are branching out into as many industries as will let us in!!!

I am proposing PLC LAW #36: If you write a program to help make a machine "idiot proof" the HR department will just hire better idiots

Hey Chako, I know a really good ebroiderer. He is extremely good and fast too. Let me know If you are interested.

I only have the beige one, but I would definitely be interested in getting some more!!! Let me know Chako!

We are looking at a silhouette, but we are also picking out patterns on the part. The Banner works much better at identifyinf characteristics than the Omorn. The Omron only looks at an overall profile of the part.
-
Banner makes an inexpensive "smart sensor". It is the Presence plus P4. We are using it as a pattern match sensor and it works quite well. Omron makes what they call the F10 series of pattern match sensors that work fairly well also.

Stupid question, was the encoder measuring the mill scale on the rebar, or the ridges???
