    MD-34A-DD Win10 IPC Tablet Dock

    Shawn details the MD-34A Windows 10 Industrial Tablet Desk Dock from Siemens in Episode 45 of The Automation Minute, Season 5. Listen to The Automation Minute on The Automation Blog: The Automation Minute, Season 5 Episode 45 Show Notes: The links mentioned in the video are listed below: MD-34A Product Website Previous episode on the MD-34A  Shawn's Siemens S7 Course Read the transcript on The Automation Blog: (automatically generated) Shawn Tierney (Host):  Hey everyone, welcome back to the show. Shawn Tierney here from Insights. And today, we're gonna take a look at the desk dock for the MD dash 34 a Windows 10 tablet from Siemens. You remember I took a look at this I five tablet a while back, and at the time, I asked if they could send me the desk dock or docking station so that I could leave it here on the stage and actually use it because it's a gray I five Windows PC that happens to also be a tablet and a barcode reader and an RFID reader and all these other things too. In any case, it did come in, several weeks later, and I filmed an episode. I don't know what happened to it, but it never got published. So, I wanted to in appreciation for them sending this over and sponsoring this episode so it's ad free, I did wanna cover. So in any case, let me first, though, take this guy out and, shut her down because her fan is running. I got it doing all kinds of cool stuff. Now I was really surprised. I turned it on and it still had all battery. Even though I hadn't used it in months, it still had a full battery. So I really appreciated that. That's cool. A lot of times at home, my tablet, you know, even if it's off, it still will, drain batteries. So I didn't like that at all. So look at that guy turned off. Now I'm not gonna do an unboxing because the, the box was just a simple cardboard box that came in there wrapped in plastic and very secure, but there wasn't a lot to show with that, so I didn't go and dig up that archival footage. But what I do wanna do here now is go to overhead mode, and then let me go ahead and unplug the ethernet cable and the power cable. This This is the same power cable that came with the tablet. Right? So you don't have to go and buy that again. And let's take a look at what comes with this, what they call their, desktop or what I would call a docking station. And I think we can even zoom in a little bit more on it. Here, let's try. Okay. The first thing I wanted to show you is that it has these two metal pegs that make it very easy to align the actual tablet when you go to pull it in. I'm gonna go ahead and bring the tablet back out here, and we can see those two little holes there. And so that makes it extremely easy to align it up and put it in there nice and secure. Right? And so I really like that. And so that's the first thing here, and you can see all the connections down there at the bottom. Alright. And then if we take a look at the back here, this is where we see this is where I have the power going in. And here we can see two, sorry, two USB two point o's, not three point o's. Alright. There is a three point o and a USB c in the unit itself. And then we have another RJ 45. This is a ten one hundred. So this is great if you're just leaving it on your desk and, when you plug in, you wanna get off Wi Fi. Again, there's an r j 45 in the unit itself as well, for Ethernet. Then we have the, VGA out. Like I said on the unit, it has an HDMI and a USB c, But, VGA now a lot of you may be saying, well, VGA, what am I gonna do with that? I have a lot of VGA output devices here in the studio that actually are very easy to convert it to either DVI or HDMI or, you know, display port, you know. So, 99%. I have actually haven't found a monitor or a television that didn't, accept converting VGA to high definition and it looks great. Then we have our serial port, which is awesome too because if you had some legacy serial device you had t...

    Adding IO-Link Devices to Logix: Automation Tech Talk for 09/12/25

    Shawn walk's through adding IO-Link devices to an IO-Link Master connected to a Rockwell Logix PAC using Studio 5000 in today's episode of #AutomationTechTalk Lunchtime Edition livestream: Watch Automation Tech Talk on The Automation Blog:  Listen to Automation Tech Talk on The Automation Blog: Automation Tech Talk Show Notes: Thanks for listening! If you'd like to join the show sometime, don't hesitate to use the contact us link. Link mentioned in video: - IFM AL1322 Webpage (includes AOI downloads) - Shawn's Online Courses - Shawn's In-Person Courses Read the transcript on The Automation Blog: (automatically generated) Shawn Tierney (Host): Hey everybody. Happy lunchtime. I hope everything is going great for you today. It is Friday, and I am pretty excited about that. Planning on spending a lot of time building more of these demos, this weekend. I got all the stuff finally came in. So and then I'll be sharing it with you over the next couple of weeks. Next week, I may have, more recorded content than live content. I'll still try to release it at lunchtime, but, just some of the things I gotta do requires me to have, you know, to go through and do edits and whatnot. So in any case, though but I should be around almost all of next week, lunchtime, whether it's recorded or live, I'll be here. But in any case, I just hope you all are having a great Friday. And today, we're gonna do part two, and we're gonna actually set up the two devices, the two IO Link devices. I thought this would be fun. Now if you guys are having any troubles hearing me or seeing me, please put it in the chat. Everything on my side looks like it's working. So, I'm just gonna go ahead and get started. Now I did play around with, some settings early this morning to see if I could get this to work. There we go. Okay. I I'm not a a huge fan of how they design everything, but, at least this is better than what we're doing the other day. In any case, we're back in Studio 5000. And for anybody who didn't catch yesterday's show, what we did was we added these two. Let me see if I can switch over to those. We added nope. That's not what I wanted to do, and that has to do with the selection. You always have to select this. So let's try it again. There we go. So we added these two devices to our ControlLogix, And we have one IO Link device here and one IO Link device here, but we already have the masters added to logic. So let's go back here, and, yeah, I'll click over here. And now we're inside logic, so you can see them right here down here. Make sure you guys are seeing what I'm seeing. And, now what we need to do is get the data in from the devices. We already have it coming in as, you know, just control the tags, but this is this is not, you know, what you would want. I mean, it's it's the twenty first century for crying out loud. Right? We want our data, you know, to be more, massage than that. And, thankfully, the vendor, IFM, has some AOIs, and they're in that same folder, that same download, the Allen Bradley download. They put all the AOIs in here, which I think is great. At first, I went to the actual pages for the different products, and there were no AOIs there. And I'm like, I think they're actually in the, the starter package for Allen Bradley. So I went into there. Again, we downloaded this yesterday. I talked about where to get this yesterday. There's the add on instructions, IFM devices. And the first device I have well, the device plugged into number, the first, IO MetLink master is, this was the RVP. So we're looking for RXP. Okay. And so what we wanna do is bring in this. We have an eight port, so we need one that goes all the way up to eight ports. And so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna copy this path here. I'm gonna come over to our assets folder here, add on instructions. I'm gonna, input and add on instruction. I'm gonna give it the path open. We have eight port devices here,

    IFM AL1322 IO-Link Master to Logix: Automation Tech Talk for 09/11/25

    Shawn walk's through connecting an IFM AL1322 IO-Link Master to a Rockwell Logix PAC using Studio 5000 in today's episode of #AutomationTechTalk Lunchtime Edition livestream: Watch Automation Tech Talk on The Automation Blog:  Listen to Automation Tech Talk on The Automation Blog: Automation Tech Talk Show Notes: Thanks for listening!

Link mentioned in video: - IFM AL1322 Webpage - Shawn's Online Courses - Shawn's In-Person Courses Read the transcript on The Automation Blog: (automatically generated) Shawn Tierney (Host):  Happy afternoon, everybody. Shawn Tierney here from Insights and Automation. Today is Thursday. What is today? September 11, I believe. I hope you all are having a great day. And, you know, I didn't even know if I was gonna be able to do this, give it everything that's been going on. Plus, I just got off the phone, actually off of out of a meeting with a larger vendor talking about their brand new IO, which I'll be covering in a few weeks. Pretty awesome stuff. Can't wait to share it with you guys. But in any case, if you were here yesterday, I actually ended up deleting the livestream after the livestream because I ran into an issue that something didn't work. And I believe I resolved that. So I'm gonna try it again today. And what am I talking about? What are we gonna cover? Well and, again, if you can't hear me or if there's a problem with the visuals, let me know in the chat because there's no nobody in the control room. It's all just me. But in any case, we're gonna be integrating these two. I have, a long time ago, the folks over at, IFM sent me in some products. They didn't sponsor any coverage on it, and I've really struggled covering it. So I did cover these modules with a, with a, a PLC they sent me, and I did, cover these devices with Allen Bradley and Siemens products as dumb devices, not as IO Link devices. But I thought, you know, the automation, automation tech talk lunchtime edition, I think, would be a great time to cover some of these unsponsored products that have been piling up, and I try not to accept anymore because I'm out of room. But in any case, it's it's, I thought this would be a good time to test them out. And today, based on what happened yesterday, today, I'm going to try to get both of these set up on our CompactLogix. Now try to go back here to full screen. What happened yesterday was Logix kept crashing, and I believe it's because of, Connect Components Workbench when I upgraded it and installed something that was incompatible with the version of Logix I had. So we'll find out. But in any case, let's go over to the computer here, and I have to do this kind of a different way because if I do it through the camera system, I do have a I do have an, request into the company, this whose software this is, and it's not showing me the view I wanted. That's the view I wanted. But I'm like, guys, you gotta help me make my you know, zoom in on this camera, but in any case, I won't, bother you with that. What we are looking at here, though, is what's the first step in getting these things to work? And the first step is where's the web page I had up? K. We gotta go to the product's web page, and on the product's web page, we wanna grab a couple of downloads. Okay. If we're gonna integrate these, IO link blocks on EthernetIP to our CompactLogix, we're gonna wanna get the download. So this is the web page. After the fact, this is an AL thirteen twenty two. After the fact, I'll go and put all links. And, again, I ran right over here from the meeting I just had, so I didn't have a chance to put those links in. But any case, we wanna go to downloads. And the two downloads I needed, and I apologize if you caught yesterday's show. I'm gonna repeat myself a little bit, but I got the Allen Bradley collection here. Right? And I also got the,

Welcome to Automation Tech Talk lunchtime edition. Shawn Tierney here from Insights. And today, we're gonna take a look at something different. We're gonna take a look at migrating a Micrologix program to a Micro 800 program, and we're going to do this because, I had somebody ask a question about connecting to a Micro 800 from a SCADA package. And, you know, when I did my VSC course, I did I think every Allen Bradley PLC except for the Micro 800. So I thought, you know, this would be a good time to convert my my VUSC application that I use to simulate the data for that for that course. And, anybody in my VUSC course can download that, in Micrologic, PLC five, ControlLogics, CompactLogics, multiple versions. You know, you know, I recently converted it to Siemens because I wanted to add those advanced graphical lessons to my unified comfort panel and unified, a basic panel course. So I need to convert it to Siemens, and then somebody asked me to test their SCADA package with Codesys. And as you know, I had a couple of vendors step up and send me Codesys PLCs. So I converted well, not all of it. There's five molding lines. I wanted to do something different than a bottling line or, you know, a a widget maker. And so, I only did one molding line into the into the code Sys because, you know, I I I we all we've talked about that before. But in any case, needs a little love and tender love and care to the code sys, IDE does. But in any case, yes. I figured, hey. Let's use this to convert my existing program, which I which I wrote from scratch to the micro 800, and let's see how it goes. Now I did this this morning around 04:30. I went through it once, and it seemed to work okay. So I figured, we would do this during lunchtime. And so if you guys have any questions on this or anything, let me know. Oh, a couple of housekeeping things. There will be no episode of the show tomorrow. I'm kinda backed up trying to get through a couple of videos that I'm, sponsored videos with vendors. And, also, I have to, just get all the stuff to do with the the automation school, but I do I did record this morning an update for any students at the automation school. So that I'm gonna schedule that to go out this afternoon because I said September 4 in it. Now looking backwards, I probably should have said September 5. But in any case, that'll come out this afternoon, and I kinda update a lot of the new lessons over at the automation school. So, especially customers and PLC courses, PAC courses over there, you wanna check that out. I did have a great conversation with a gentleman who was who knew what a Symax 300 was, so we'll try to get him on the automation museum podcast, which is I'm calling the history of automation. I have we've recorded three already. History of Triconics, history of Wonderware, history of, Rocco PLCs. And these are all from people's perspectives. This is, like, the definitive history, but, you know, it was been a lot of fun hanging out with these people who work with this old stuff, and, I really have enjoyed it. Sunday, my goal is to edit those three and, and,

Right? I was gonna say Tuesday. It's not Tuesday. It's Wednesday. I hope you're all doing good. I hope, my mic and video is coming out okay. Let me know in the chat if it's not. But in any case, I do want to, wish you all a great lunchtime here. And it is Wednesday, and, this is Automation Tech Talk lunchtime edition. And, feel free to chat in the, both on YouTube and on LinkedIn. And, of course, you'll always find the audio, the video, and the transcript up on the automationblog.com later in the day. Typically, right after the show's done, I try to get that all up there before going back to work. So in any case, today, I was gonna do one thing, and I decided to do something else. So, we're actually gonna take a look at discovering IO, automatically discovering IO so you don't have to crank in all those different part numbers. And, we're gonna do it today for Rockwell. And I did have some things that, I've been telling myself, Shawn, you gotta kinda remember to mention some things to everybody, when you're doing the show. So let me just pull my notes up here and bring them over to the screen right below here so I can read them. So, first of all, the idea for today's, discussion about discovering IO, adding IO, reading IO was, based on some lessons. I'm I actually had to I found some bugs in them, so I had to rerender them. So I'll be updating them, and, several of the courses over at the Automation School are getting updates, including my CompactLogics and ControlLogics. They're getting the most updates today. But in any case, I also wanted to mention that I already have two industry veterans who I'm talking to about coming on the Automation Museum's History of Automation podcast. And so I mentioned this because we already have three shows in the, in the can. We talked to experts about the history of Triconics, the history of InTouch or Wonderware, and the history of Rockwell PLCs. But, again, these are things where we want to have multiple guests on about each each product and, to share their own experiences with them. And, you know, everybody remembers things differently. Like, some people remember some features, other people remember other features, and so on. So, we have two new people who I'm talking to to get them to come on the show. And I wanna invite you, whether you're a vendor, user, integrated OEM, if you have done something with automation before the year February, I'm just using that as a kind of a benchmark. Right? So, you know, we're talking legacy stuff. We're not talking, you know, fifty three seventies and fifty three eighties or a '7 you know, fifteen hundreds or December, or m two sixty twos if you're a Snyder guy. But, we're talking we're talking, you know, older stuff, legacy stuff. The automation museum is not gonna be a museum of what just came out this this year. It's gonna be a museum of all that old stuff. And I wanna thank everybody who sent me stuff in. I will be doing more automation museum videos on the stuff you guys send in. I got a PCMK card. I got a net alert or or net net alert, I think, device too that I wanna show off. So, in any case, thank you everybody and, for that. So what else do I have to cover here before we get started? There is no podcast today.

It is September now, the second, and, please let me know if the video or audio is not working, but everything's looking great. I can actually get the, streaming out over here on the right. And, I was hoping to have a guest come on the show today. We were all set up. There was actually one that was, rescheduled, and, no guests. Now it could be a problem with StreamYard because I have seen the delay when somebody tries to join as a guest and when they actually show up in my in my web browser. I've, like, refreshed a 100 times, so I don't know what else to do. But in any case, I still have something that I was just working on for my students that I figured we could talk about since the guest is not connected. So and I was really looking forward to having a Julio on to talk about his company because it just sounded really interesting. But in any case, I don't see anything in the chat. So let me go ahead and switch over to this view. Now I've had many people, actually, I shouldn't say many people. I had one person I was talking to about two weeks ago, and they said, you know, Shawn, I was taking one of your courses, and I didn't recognize I didn't recognize Studio five thousand. I'm like, what do you mean? He's like, it looked totally different. And I'm like, well, that's not good. And so I'm going back, and I'm like, I think I know what happened. So some people work with only new products. Right? So they're only using the latest and the greatest version of the software, and I'm like, wow. You know, that that that's not me. I've been using RS logic since beta. Right? And so I'm like, wow. So some people make it that, you know, look and feel shock when they, when they, use the latest version and then go back a few versions. So I thought, you know, I did an update a lesson. I just rendered it for my students, and I figured we hey. Since we had a new show, again, he could still connect if he wanted to, but I figured, hey. Let's cover that. We'll call this, Studio 5,000 Logix Designer version 30 versus versus 31. And so what I wanna show you here is I actually have version 10. Now to save time, I typically will will often not install one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Right? And so and some of those versions don't exist. Right? So in any case, so this is what, Studio 5,000 Logix designer, a k a RS Logix 5,000, if you didn't know. This is what it looks like, brand new program. This is what it looked like the version 10. 10 is the first version that supported multi, multiple installs or what they call side by side installations where you can install ten and eleven and twelve and thirteen and fifteen and sixteen and seventeen and eighteen and so on. Before that, you can only install one, kinda like everything else that's come before it. Like, you can only have and and you guys correct me if I'm wrong, but, typically, you can only have one copy of Microsoft Word installed or one copy of, you know, most any application, Excel or Premiere Pro or whatever you're using. You can't have two installed at the same time. It's kinda annoying, but because Logix is has to be lockstep. In other words, you have version,

Welcome back to the Automation Tech Talk lunchtime edition. You may hear some background noise because today, I have a special guest on. It's Brandon Cooper, who you probably all know has written a bunch of articles over at the automation blog. And I've actually had Brandon on the automation podcast back on episode one zero six. That was in 2022. Brandon, thank you for, agreeing to share your lunch with us. Brandon Cooper (Guest): Hey. Glad to do it. Glad to do it. Thanks for Shawn Tierney (Host): having me. You're well. Thank you. And I was telling, Brandon in the preshow, he's actually sitting in his backyard in Louisiana, and it just sounds awesome. He's got birds chirping, and it sounds so great. It's like, man, that's so relaxing. But in any case, let me see. Brandon, you are Brandon Cooper (Guest): eighties this week, so it's almost fall in Louisiana. Shawn Tierney (Host): Yeah. Eighties. We got into the seventies. I had to put the heat on this morning because it was in the sixties, which is which is kinda odd for late August. How about you guys? Is this normal for late August? Or Brandon Cooper (Guest): not really. We usually don't hit get into the eighties until, sometime in September, but we get we got a a lower temp week this week, so it's it's nice. Shawn Tierney (Host): Yeah. I'm I'm not complaining at all. So you are a senior process control engineer, and, I know you from your what you do with POCs, but you also work on a lot of DCS systems or what would classically be called the DCS. And like I said, he Brandon was on, in episode one zero six. He's written several articles on Rockwell and Siemens. His latest one was on, simulating e threes, I think, for migration purposes. And he also wrote two articles recently on the things I've learned because, change. And I don't want you to give away the actual companies you worked for, but describe your old old role and the new role you've been doing now to give the audience some perspective on that's kinda how you change roles. Brandon Cooper (Guest): So I guess for twenty two years, starting at 19 years old, I joined on as basically a process control type technician and then moved up to to a process control engineer and then a senior engineer later, you know, working in in specific specific facilities, you know, doing the day to day program and then graphics and troubleshooting and working with operations at a facility, which is also, you know, being on call twenty four seven for for all those twenty two years. So, it was it was great. I learned a lot and, helped me get to the next step, I guess. So, three years ago, I had the opportunity to take a job, where we travel around and and do things in different sites. And there's, like a like a, capital project type, role. And that's been really good. I've, I've enjoyed it, learned a lot more, and just a a a different role. Kids are kinda grown now, so they didn't need me at home as much anymore. So just a lot of things fell into place about the same time and, decided to do something a little different. So Shawn Tierney (Host): Yeah. I could definitely see the appeal to that. So Brandon works. We're not gonna give him the company names. Brandon works for re a major Fortune 500 company.

    Distributed I/O: Automation Tech Talk for August 27, 2025

    Shawn discusses generations of Rockwell IP20 distributed / remote I/O in today's Automation Tech Talk, Lunchtime Edition: Watch Automation Tech Talk on The Automation Blog: Listen to Automation Tech Talk on The Automation Blog: Automation Tech Talk Show Notes: Thanks for listening! If you'd like to join the show sometime, don't hesitate to use the contact us link. Links mentioned in video: - Courses: https://theautomationschool.com Read the transcript on The Automation Blog: (automatically generated) Shawn Tierney (Host): Hey, everybody. Welcome to Automation Tech Talk. I'm Shawn Tierney from Insights, and I'm about seven minutes late today. I just got off a, really excellent call with a major automation supplier, actually, automation manufacturer, who, was introducing me to his next generation IO. And, so I didn't have a lot of time to prep, and I'm like, what am I gonna cover today? And I'm like, let's talk about distributed IO. So that's what we're gonna talk about. I love to hear in the chat where you what you guys are using for distributed IO if you're using distributed IO. Now OEMs typically don't need distributed IO. I mean, don't get me wrong. They will, oh, and I should also say if you guys can't hear me or you can't see me or something's wrong, let me know. But in any case, typically, an OEM with a small machine, they don't need the distributed IO. Now they will run a lot of times Ethernet through their different devices like VFDs and HMIs, but, they don't need distributed IO. However, a facility with a large machine or a large system, it makes no sense to run all the wires back from all the sensors and switches and buttons all the way back to the main panel, and that's where distributed IO really does extremely well. And, you know, PLCs and PACs more and more can handle even more and more higher quantities of distributed IO. But before we get into that, I thought we would talk a little bit about the history of distributed IO or remote IO as Rockwell coined the phrase or patented the phrase back in the day, back in the late seventies. In any case, in the first distributor IO I saw out there, saw a lot of it out there, was seventeen seventy one. And seventeen seventy one IO was, big and bulky. This is an eight point module. I just grabbed what I had available, you know you know, with two minutes to go before the show started. Let's see if I set up the overhead cam correctly. So I do not have the terminal block on here, but this is an 8.1771, IO module that was donated to, somebody who then donated it to me. And, thank you to both of companies for the donation. And I have a ton of this stuff, and, it's really super inexpensive online. But the, you know, the problem is the programming software is so expensive. So, you know, a lot of people could use this, reuse this stuff for hobbies or whatnot. But, in any case, this would fit in a big, jack. You guys have seen the racks here before, the big seventy seventy one chassis, and we don't call them racks. We call them chassis. And, you know, it worked. Remote IO definitely worked. The the digital was so easy to set up. The analog, a lot of people had a hard time getting their mind around block transfers. I always felt that I could explain it to people easily, and that's why I'm doing a PLC five course with seventeen seventy one IO. I don't have that on here on the stage because it's just so big. I actually have it over there on the floor. But in any case, you know, of this you see this a lot. I remember going to one power plant and walking through and and, because they wanted to migrate all this seventeen seventy one IO and just taking pictures and pictures and pictures of MCC is full of distributed IO racks with remote IO and seventeen seventy one IO. And as I was going through there in the seventy eighth rack of IO, I'm like, this is not affordable. This stuff, first of all, it's bulletproof. Why replace it?
