Many thanks for this video.

Snifting ) Then bottle burst sensor to trigger flushing, low fill --> bottle crowner --> Full Bottle Inspection machine --> Pasteurization Machine (temperature zones for PU corrections) --> Container Labeller ( bottle present sensor, bottle orientation system, servo motors for bottle seat position, cameras, coding of labels) --> Container/Crate Packer --> Full crate inspection machine --> Palletizer machine operations Conveyor synchronisation Kindly make a modular PLC training for each packaging machine Many thanks
I teach in the Electromechanical Engineering Technology program at Murray State University. Most of my students qualify for all these jobs as we focus heavily on PLC, HMI, and Robotic programming and most of our graduates are automation or controls engineers. This is the perfect recruiting video, thank you.
Can a person who has been working as lecturer in engineering college enter into this profession at the age of 32 after doing the course indistrial automation plc and scada...what are the future scope of this course...kindly reply sir...
@@aruns3392 I am going to be honest with you, it really depends greatly on the program that you teach in. With my program we are engaged with local and regional industry, meet with them regular, and try to stay up to date with technology. Some programs are mostly theory, and does not communicate with industry. If you come from one of these programs, it will be a harder transition into industry.
Hello Sir nice to meet you. As a student pursuing bachelors in mechanical engineering, I am looking forward to have masters after which I want to go in automation sector as a mechanical engineer. can you name some masters programs or skills as mechanical engineer in automation field which have a good demand and pay in the coming years??

Electronic control of tankless water heater: Use a PID? SSR vs SCR? I have an 8KW Atmor tankless water heater that has two switched heating elements. I want to add stable electronic temperature control. But I can't find good information about the different options! Seems the PID + SSR MAY have longer switching time, and that MAY reduce heating element life from thermal cycling vs a higher speed SCR. But I am having trouble finding the real answer.
The best approach is to use an SCR with a controller made for that purpose (such as the Watlow DB-20: www.watlow.com/Products/Controllers/Power-Switching-Devices/DIN-A-MITE-B-Power-Controller ). The controller essentially eliminates cycling and allows for longer heater life. I have used these (and others) for years with great success with many different kinds of heaters. The short answer to your initial question is an SCR can switch at any phase angle of the AC power supply and can control the output voltage linearly. On the other hand, SSR is a switching element that only turns ON/OFF. The better control of an SCR prolongs heater life and eliminates cycling. The SSR approach is faster, but I would not use it due to the nature of the device to cause temperature cycling.
@@realpars 1. The Watlow DB-20 appears to be the heater power control -- unclear what PID(?) Temperature Controller to use for this application to drive it. 2. How to keep SCR from adding noise harmonics and phase error to the power system? Should one look for a zero crossing type? On 50 Hz 230V BTW. Appreciate your advice...having trouble finding answers online.
where should i start if i want to get into Automation Industry? I majored in control system at my uni, know the basic of control system, PID controls, used matlab for my graduate project.

Hello, i have worked as a mechanical maintenance engineer for earthmoving machines, highways trucks and plant maintenace for kver 10 yrs. I wish to switch over to industrial automation. What are the likely steps you'll recommend to achieve my goal in the shortest possible time. Thanks
Hi Babatunde, Thank you for your question. You are making the right decision! Industrial Automation is a demanding field these days. And we have a shortage of personnel to fill the demands! First and foremost, if you have not signed up for the Pro membership with RealPars, you should do so. We are the site that offers easy-to-understand lessons that are up-to-date with experts that have done that and been there. I should know, having been in this field for 45 years with some of the major companies like Siemens and General Motors, to name a few. I highly recommend Mechatronic system learning programs. You will learn all the areas of study needed in this field. Not sure where you are in the world, but here is a link to help you get started.

I am currently an MES Operations specialist, more on the IT side of things. Interaction with IT systems integrating with plant and control/automation systems. I am studying an advanced diploma in Industrial Data communications, networks and IT and would like to advance a career further down closer to the plant, maybe level 2 on PLC/DCS level. Any advice? I am working in a chemicals plant where these disciplines are available.
The best way to learn is through training (subscribe to the video courses at Realpars.com!) and to get hands-on ex-experience. Spend some time with the automation engineers at your site to see what they do and what skills you will need to develop. Level 2 includes applications as well such as data historians, batch and recipe control, supervisory control and OPC and bus networks.
Industrial engineering would be relevant for industrial careers in general. Plenty of PLC/Automation professionals out there with non electrical/automation degrees
