Well,
Damien I have it done for you right now. Give me a call today so we can get this taken care of. This christmas cash is going to pay for my wife's gift.
Everyone else, I am a strong proponent of teaching and I will definately go over everything with him and explain it to him to the nth degree. Sometimes, people just need that. Sometimes a little instruction with a functioning program is enough to turn the light on.
Looking at what he had to begin with and where he left off, he would have been struggling for a while. The sequencer idea was way OVERKILL and difficult to follow. I spent alot of time in the beginning on sequencers so I could understand and apply them correctly. Still to this day, I have only met and seen one other program that applies them correctly(this is my experience, not a generalization, I am sure there are many here who can use them properly). At the time of this thread, while the help was great, from what I saw of the program, it would not have worked anyway. There was alot of duplication, thought processes that did not go to completion, way to many latch/unlatch bits for such a small program, and with it being a dust blower system, latches on a power failure might have caused a problem. I kept it simple and used some delay timers to help him follow things.
I have it broken down into 4 areas for him right now. System 1, System 2, the Main Blower, and alarms. It should be very nice for him to follow and learn some basics. I have to talk to him about how to really reset alarms, the system lights to verify I have it right, and the proper state of the equipment monitors.
So hopefully, after we get this up and going, he will have a better understanding and will be better equipped to handle the next project that comes his way.
Thanks
David
