plc program

Hi group,

I was wondering if anyone could help me with obtaining a copy of PLC7 or another program for programming a PLC because i'm doing a project for school about PLC.

Thanks

From your newsgroup list I guess you are not talking about

"Patrol Leaders' Council" (a Scouting group)

but are talking about

"Programmable Logic Controllers"

and you are not talking about a Scout training program but are talking about a control software program. It further appears you want

VIPA PLC7 Software

or some other

Programmable Logic Controller software.

You are more likely to get what you want if you ask for it.

I would suggest contacting your local Technical Institute or Community College or a local Engineering College or large company with manufacturing processes. You will also need to specify what PLC you will be controlling or if you want to borrow one of those also.

Good Luck!

Since he cross posted to rec.scouting.usa and mentioned that it was a "school project" I'm going to guess he's in middle/high school. He might contact local council to get list of merit badge councilors for radio/electronics related merit badges( don't know which one as I've been out of Scouting for > 30 years). They would be local and used to answering/asking the "right" questions.

Since he probably is in Holland (Jeroen Van Vove and nl.hobb.elektronica), I think he is hoping such a MB counselor is on line and listening. Anyone out there?

Hi soepkip, ten eerste is dit een gewoon Nederlands groepje en is wat jij voor engels wil laten doorgaan nou niet echt gesmeerd.

PLC7 ken ik overigens niet, tenzij je S7 van Siemens bedoeld. En dat is beschermd met rechten en mag niet zomaar gekopieerd worden. Lukt het je om toch aan de illegale software te komen zal je volgende dilemma de kabel (of zullen we liever over de kabels praten, want Siemens heeft een aantal verschillende kabels voor de type range) ... En die zijn niet zo makkelijk na te maken...

Ga maar eens googelen naar Hitachi PLC's , die hebben de software on-line staan, en na een mailtje of belletje krijg je een registratiecode van ze zodat je de volledige functionaliteit van hun pakket kan gebruiken. Met een beetje doorzoeken vind je ook nog eens de kabels en pinbezettingen en steker typen voro Hitachi....

Zeg /dev/007, "dit" is geen nl-groepje, dit is een lijst van groepn (comp.arch.embedded, nl.hobby.elektronica,rec .scouting.usa, sci.engr.control), waarvan wel helemaal één in het Nederlands.... De wereld is groter dan je denk....

Nog altijd beter dan wat de gemiddelde amerikaan er zelf van bakt. Het publiek wat dit leest is overigens grotendeels engelstalig.

To others: ignore this message.

...

and there's room for many languages in it. Why only English?

Simply because it improves your chances of getting a meaningful answer. Usually there are similar language specific newsgroups available for other languages. At a guess, the above is Dutch. There are somewhat more users here with a reasonable command of English than of Dutch.

Because it's the largest common denominator?

Funny enough, although I'm Dutch, I write all my comments in my code in English. To me this feels more natural than writing Dutch comments behind English statements...

Heck, even the manuals I write for my products start out in English, then I tranlsate them in Dutch...I know, weird...

Follow the thread. OP asked in English, but it was clear that Dutch was his native tongue. He was answered in Dutch, which probably made it easier for him, and maybe also for the answerer. You "corrected" him, and I wondered why.

I suppose if you were exceptionally nationalistic you could use a series of #define statements:

#define for onder // just imagine that I'm actually #define if als // using the correct translations here, #define while terwije // eh?

etc.

That is a very reliable way to write very lousy Dutch manuals, but you probably knew that already ;-)

Not weird; the mind compartmentalizes. Once, when I was 5 and thoroughly American, I wore a beret (with pompom) on a ferry trip across New York harbor. A cousin had brought it after a fisit to France. As I stood by the rail, a gust blew it into the water. In spontaneous dismay, I cried, "Oh! Mon chapeau!" I was amused when I heard what I had said, so maybe it's funny, even if not weird.

At least your English-speaking customers will get English documentation. One of our clients has several pharmaceutical skids from France vendor. All of the comments in the A-B SLC-500 program are in French, except for the many alarm bits that have no description except for the symbol for the word they're in. I would have expected a bit more when spending a quarter million dollars US each on four identical units.

That would work very well for vacuum cleaner's users manuals indeed :-P

A usenet thread does not exist only for the benefit of the original poster. The point of using a public forum is that it spreads knowledge around - to the original poster, to any others reading the thread, and (in the archives) to future readers. An answer given in English is of more benefit to a wider audience than one given in Dutch. It is also clear that the original poster has a solid command of English (I've yet to meet a Dutch person who hasn't) and should have few problems understanding answers in English. But when someone answers in Dutch (or any other language), it means other people can't understand the information given, and other potential helpful posters can't comment and correct or expand the answer.

So, following the thread, the OP asked in English on international newsgroups standardised on English (presumably after having looked at the groups before posting, and understanding they are English-language). Thus replies should naturally be in English. It was a mistake to cross-post to a Dutch newsgroup - I'm sure they would have preferred the original post to have been in Dutch, and for the thread to have remained in Dutch.
