first off, this is a really cool forum. beer and technically minded people, how can you go wrong? but this is kinda off topic and totally self indulgent...
but my question is, how did you end up in this field?
i kinda ended up here on accident. i was 19, just flunked out of a year at college and took a warehouse job so i could pay for my drinking habit.
i took a shining to the machinery. i couldn't get enough af learning about all the **** i was running. this eventually led to a position on the maintenance crew, and it didn't take long before i realized that PLC's were at the heart of the matter.
i started out with Opto22's stuff because it was fairly intuitive and easy to get into (i.e. we had the software). finally this year, i built up the resolve to learn RLL since most of our machines are AB based and talked my manager into buying rslogix for me.
bought Phil's book about 3 months ago and now here I am.
now, out of shear curiosity i'd like to hear your story.
