OT: A vent about Rockwell software

AustralIan · Aug 4, 2017

Don't use a LIM instruction, use a GEQ and a LEQ, or GRT and an LES for clarity.

I knew Peter or someone would turn this into a Siemens whine

Our guys prefer RSLogix over Siemens anytime. Step7 is powerful after you have had enough ***** sandwiches.

Sure beats having to pay extra to eat them... as is the case with anything Rockwell.

I still don't get why people don't abandon English, it's the most cumbersome, clunky, and inconsistent language.

How do you native english speakers do it?

Or the imperial system...

I find this whole conversation amusing. It makes me really glad that after 30+ years of A-B programming I went elsewhere when A-B attempted to force logix5000 on me.

There are countries that use the metric system, then there are countries that have landed on the moon, and sent probes that have left the solar system and still work.

NASA is metric since a long time ago though!

If Wikipedia is anything to go by...

The Solar System[a] is the gravitationally-bound system comprising the Sun and the objects that orbit it, either directly or indirectly.

Care to name the probes that went past Uranus and are still working (that we know of)?

Voyager I?

Dravik · Aug 4, 2017

I believe both Voy 1 and 2 have past Uranus and are still considered operational.

Mark Snodgrass · Aug 4, 2017

Also according to NASA

I love the metric system

And if i'm not mistaken, Rockwell designed and manufactured large portions of those projects.

Before purchasing Allen-Bradley in 1985.
