In What Ways Have You Seen PLC Failure?

This belongs in the Commercial Section.

Agreed, given that the OP would likely take our input, then use it to create their training courses and get paid for it. BIN95 is not an engineering service, it's more like a private school. Schools typically do their own research or use properly credited documents already in existence. Some of the stuff I have seen on BIN95 videos is a bit too anecdotal for my taste, I'd rather not contribute to that kind of thing being done for profit. A better approach would be to solicit white papers from qualified engineers, who can then decide if they want to be compensated or not for your commercial use and publication of their work.

Those are not failures, they are cases of field abuse.

You try keeping a foundry running.

The operators are the enemy!

Tony, you're 100% correct!

However, if we want this thread to make any sense, you've got to talk about PLCs that fail, not operator failures that destroy PLCs. The latter is a problem that management has to to struggle with --- no PLC is going to solve it for them.

Either this forum gets back on the track, or let it dry up.
