It is just me, or have other noticed that theyre more comfortable programming devices that they can see, as opposed to devices they can't see? The reason i ask is that I have a Redlion PTV sitting on my desk, clipped onto a DIN rail. A 24VDC power supply is also attached to it, connected to a surplus computer power supply cord with the receptacle end cut off. The PTV is connected to a network switch and I'm programming it over ethernet.
It looks bad and takes up room in my office. There's no good reason for having it here because there are no physical inputs or outputs that I can monitor (I'm just using it for OEE data collection). It could just as easily be mounted in a control poanel anywhere in the plant where there is a network connection. Subconsciously, however, there's a degree of comfort when I can see it.
I'm weird. That's all I have to say
