As you know I recently accepted the position to train as systems automation and control tech. So far I love the challenges and frying my brain and pulling out my hair trying to figure things out. I was chosen for this job to train under the current tech as he is 66 years old and seriously knows his stuff when it comes to PLC's, HMI, and communications. However he has refused to train me stating he does not have time nor gets paid to train people. This makes my job quite difficult as there is so much to learn in the automation field, and being 26 I haven't been in the control side of things very long.
I hold no hard feelings as I understand where he comes from but never the less I wont let this bring me down, I chose to be in automation for a reason, I really like it. I just found out that he will be going for a job interview else where and I would imagine he will be hired as he is a talented programmer and could be an asset to any company with his experience. This leaves me alone to take over the reins, which is a great opportunity for me but also at the same time a huge undertaking and responsibility.
I have several training sessions booked with automationtraining.ca as I have a lot of ground to cover with the various PLC's and HMI's at our plant. The problem is the courses are quite spread out as the ones I need i.e rslogix5, slc 500, rslogix5000, Invensys wonderware intouch ect.. are only available at certain times. In the mean time I'll be given projects that will need to be completed and I'm sure I'll need help on. So in the next little while if you guys don't mind I'll be asking several questions to help me out.
This site and its members have helped me so much already and I'm very thankful for that and hope I can receive further assistance and eventually be able to be on the other side of things offering my advice to some one in my position on plctalk.net. thanks, brian
