This may seem like an after thought, but I've witnessed the damage this can cause in a plant. Engineers a lot of the time just assume they are more intelligent than people like operators or maintenance. The truth is simply that engineers are generally more educated about certain aspects of how the machines work, and that doesn't necessarily mean more intelligent.
I've learned that operators are invaluable in my job, because they are the people that know the process the best. ALWAYS value the input operators and maintenance people can give. Sometimes it won't be helpful, and sometimes operators can be downright annoying. It's great advice, however, to stay on their good side and engage them whenever you can for input.
This leads me to believe you're unclear on the PLC scan cycle. A cursory look at the PLC 1 curriculum doesn't mention this subject. Was the scan cycle covered in that unit?When working on programming, is it possible that a logic in a lower rung will cause a previously correct (before the later logic was added) rung before it to fault?.
