So I am new to the automation game as a developer. Previously I was in service and learned to utilize the PLC/HMI as a trouble shooting tool and had access to the developer if I ran into issues.
I have the basics covered between the AB manuals, this website and others. i.e. I can get information from the PLC and manipulate information enough to get what I want to show up on the screen. I doubt it is the efficient way, but sometime done is better then fancy. PV has a plethora of features that may not be worth spending time of understanding, so I am looking for a little guidance.
My role requires me to do some programming, but at this point I dont have ambitions to be an expert developer, project management has more appeal to me. With that said what are 5 tool/features that I need to master to be 80% proficient? Global object seem very helpful, but I have not fallen into that rabbit hole just yet.
Thank you
