 Thanks Mike, I needed a break! Apparently, space resonates in the key of B.

Does this increase your remodel speed and accuracy ?

I'm old and need frequent breaks to be able to continue in an efficient manner.
The music helps take my mind away from what I need to get done.

Tell me about OLD 79 next month
I have been going to reach out to you about a 3D print part
waiting till the remodel might be completed
Still too cold to woodwork here so no rush

Yeah whenever you get ready PM me, be glad to help.

Hi All,
I have been given the task (read 'saddle with') of reverse engineering and modifying a Siemens conveyor system. The thing uses a version of Ladder Logic (if you don't know it's a Programming system that was designed to be easy to read, I think we all know what that creates). I used a simple form Allen-Bradley form back at college (many moons ago!) I appear to have lost all reference I had for it. The situation is the system works, I don't want to risk breaking it. So if anyone has a reference it would be very nice!

I just went back to 1982. As an EE, my first job was as an equipment engineer, and I had to keep 3 machines running on the production line. We did a lot of ladder logic, relays, etc. The first thought I have is "simulator." PLCs are the children of ladder logic, so I would start poking around places like this: Online PLC Ladder Logic Simulator: Learn & practice coding![^]
One warning I would give you - nothing is ever standard. I've had to support machines that were 30 yo with controllers that were 15 yo. Your doc is going to be a photocopied manual that may or may not be accurate.
I'm actually jealous.

Hmmm, Nothing is standard, badly photocopied manuals, like the 80's Home PC! (Commodore VIC20 - 64, Spectrum 48k rubber mat). So in other words hack it until it works... I can do that.

yep, been there and done that. Have about 6" of paper manuals sitting on a shelf for an old NC machine I support. Years ago, I paid to have the product documentation scanned and converted to PDF.

I started to do some LAD stuff for a Rockwell system we used. This was about 10-12 years ago. I never got very deep. I did a DuckDuckGo search and found these Siemens ladder logic documentation[^]. The first link[^]
Seems promising. Probably not your equipment, but it might help bring back memories.
HTH.
P.S. I'm sure you've already searched and didn't find what you need, so feel free to ignore me.

The Siemens stuff is odd, Siemens web site is very awkward to navigate, you need to login to get access to bits and can be awkward and is generally awkward to use... I point people to it as a "don't do this" example.
