Since I teach PLC training I get some strange calls to my number sometimes.
This morning a guy called and he said.
" I have SLC 100 running our plant's main operation and it's not working at all. It has power but none of the lights are working now. Our plant is down and I am going to need you to arrive in the next 4 hours or we are all going to be in big trouble because we are a critical operation to the state"
My first question was what city and state he was calling from and how he got my number. I told him we may be in big trouble since he was in northern California and I am in Middle Georgia.
I was kind enough to find his local Rockwell distributors number and a local contractors number for him.
I wonder why a critical operation to the state is still running a SLC 100
People find anything online about Allen Bradley PLC's and read no further they just call with their Allen Bradley line down questions.
Since so many seem to not be able to reach tech connect I may start a new billable service called Phil Connect.
