16th week

   Well, this is our last week of the challenge. We have an exam on English Thursday and Challenge Friday. We have been very well prepared the exams and in the challenge we go very well of time. We can't fail as it's the last of the year and the whole group is looking forward to going on practice in March. In the challenge we only have to communicate two PLCs and apart communicate the 4 PLCs per X_GET. We're confident we'll pull him forward. With this latest Blog we say goodbye and have a life ahead of them.














 

   This week the challenge is over. We already have almost everything done and surely give us time to present the model without problems. We are very concerned about the exam, as we do not look comfortable with the content of this challenge. We hope to approve it this Friday, otherwise we have to make the recovery next Tuesday. We'd be notified of the test results on Saturday, so it wouldn't take much time to go over. We will pray to the Virgin Lourdes or prepare an envelope for the teacher.




We're in the last week of this course before we go to practice. We are very nervous about what the exam we have to do on Friday, it is quite complicated although PROFIBUS and XGET already know how to use. It is the most difficult challenge according to the opinion of our colleagues, it has been difficult for them to get these models to communicate with each other. In general we hope that by next year the models will work better and there will be more help material that teachers can provide us.



Last week of the blog, finally i was getting tired already, every tuesday/thursday writting 5 lines , but the grind was worth it, we have a very high score on the blog, and with the oral exam we have a very high grade. I hope we all pass and go to work soon, 6 years on maristas, i am eager to see some action finally, I would love to learn what the business worlds have to offer, and see how i can improve on my teamwork, with this I sign off, see you around!




This week we finish the challenge and class, on Friday we have exam and we have to pass it all to be able to go practice and after they give us the certificate of industrial robotics, we are quite nervous about this exam since it is very difficult and costs quite Understand. Once this exam is passed, we're going to take all the pressures on us. This year the English subject I liked very much because we have learned different things and I am very happy with the teacher.

15th week

This week we finished the profibus and MPI exercises with the functions of X-PUT and X-GET. These exercises are good for us to practice a little for the exam that we will have to do in 2 weeks. Now we've started with the 4 mock-up slats. We have divided the work among the 5 members of the group, each one makes a model and the most difficult one that has been made to us among 2 people. Once this programming is done we will have to start communicating with each other so that when one is launched the following will work automatically.



We started the main project, it isn't hard on its own, but connecting all the PLCs at once and make them comunicate, and getting X-PUT & X-GET is complicated. Also we have to use global commands or PROFIBUS, I think we might use PROFIBUS but we are not sure yet. All of us are working hard and trying to get it going, our last challenge and one of the hardest. We hope we dont stay here another year, we all want to get out and finally get a nice job.



We have just finished programming the panels individually, now it is up to us to communicate it with the PROFIBUS method. At first it becomes difficult to understand the interface of the program, but with the user guide and a little patience it is done little by little. The problem we're going to have is that everyone has made their program on a different computer and now we have to put them together, and that's quite complicated. We will have to look at tutorials on youtube of someone who explains it properly.



This week we started programming the 4 panels which is what the challenge is. We will try to start communicating what is the most complicated thing about this challenge. We still have the exercises to finish, which the exercises consist of communicating but we still can't do it. Apart from communicating we have to learn how to use the functions of X-PUT and X-GET that the operation is to take report and send information to a PLC. We only have two weeks of challenge left and
we have to organize well.

.


There are only 2 weeks to finish the challenge, this challenge is the most difficult on a personal level because you have to understand many things and learn a lot, on February 14th we have the last exam and if we pass it we go practice 3 months and we take the course ,I hope that my colleagues and I will pass this last exam so that we can all go on practice to learn in the world of work since many of us have never worked yet.

14TH WEEK

This week we are understanding the operation of the project that has touched us now, you could say that it is the most difficult of the whole year and that is why we have to be focused to learn everything for the exam of the next February 14th, we're having a hard time getting the robot up and running, but we're slowly moving forward both individually and in a group. It's the last test we have to do to leave in March of practice

We're in the second week of the challenge. We have to deliver for this week 6 mpi and PROFIBUS exercises. Apart for next week we plan to start programming the four panels that is the challenge project. We have to communicate 4 PLC via mpi and profibus. Each panel has to have its graphet, its inputs and outputs and separate its program. Once we have done the 4 programs we have to communicate them between them. We have to work together to overcome the challenge.

This week we have been given the results of the exam that we did, after being threatened by these results, now it is up to us to put the batteries in to finish the challenge well. We are making the communication through PROFIBUS, making some notes to take them to the exam. Other colleagues are working with the programming of the 4 models. Once we are done with this we have to communicate the models using PUT and GET and with PROFIBUS, since in the exam we will be asked to make this communication.

Last challenge, 2 weeks in and we are still clueless, we dont have much of an idea about communication, Profibus and MPI are both very complicated and need a lot of time to get used to.
But we are working on it and in 2 days we got 3 excersices done, if we keep this up we will end in no time, and we'll be off to study very soon, but I dont think that is likely, some issue we dont know about occurs very often, still we are giving our best and trying very hard, we dont want to end up here next  year.

This week we are finishing the exercises to be done in the challenge, as the teachers did not say that the deadline for delivery is this Friday. For me this is the most complicated challenge of the whole course since I have never touched what is given here. I'm afraid of the exam, because, last time the teacher got angry about how the previous ones did and doesn't want it to happen again. People did the bare minimum to pass with a 5. Let's hope he's good with us and doesn't create trouble for us on the test.

13TH Week

We have the oral exam on thursday, Mikel and I are working on it, we are ready for the conversation and are eager to speak about it. Today we started the last challenge, we have to do some excersices and then we also have to make the project, connecting 4 plcs with Profibus or MPI.

It seems Profibus is really hard, so we started working full on it, we only have until the 14 of February, so we hope to finish by that time.

Last challenge was Omron, and we think we did it all right, mostly everything worked but we couldn't get the servo-motor to work, and the graph had some issues, not our fault, but still didn't work. This one is the last challenge so we still have to work hard, we end classes on February, but practices don't start until March, so we still have a month to keep working on the challenge, and end the final project, we have around 10 days to finish whatever they choose.



This week we have started with the last challenge of the year. The previous examination of the challenge was done very well, although they still have to give us the result. This challenge is the most difficult of all the challenges of the class, so we can't relax. In this challenge what we have you do is programs 4 projects, and communicate them between them, and apart we have exercises to do to deliver it next week. We all have to work to get it approved and all of us to go on practice to the company.

This week we're nervous knowing that friday is going to give us the test note we did last week. We hope to pass but after finishing it doubts came out and we do not know if we did it right or wrong. Whatever comes out we have to dedicate ourselves to do as soon as possible the exercises of the new challenge to finish the project so that we can prepare well for the last exam that comes our way. We have to work hard to approve it, otherwise, we're going to have to go to the recoveries. We have to work hard to approve it, otherwise, we're going to have to go to the recoveries. We will have to leave the skin in this last challenge.



This week we finished the fourth challenge, we had an exam where we simulated the operation of a washing machine with different buttons and an engine that was spinning to one side or the other. Depending on the washing mode this motor was spinning at one speed or another. We thought it was a pretty easy test. Now we have the challenge of this course that for us seeing the results of the other colleagues is the most difficult challenge.

 Although the programming of the models is very simple, the complicated thing about this challenge is to communicate the 4 models with PROFIBUS, no group has managed to realize this challenge through that communication. As a tip of the teachers we have started from today to do different PROFIBUS exercises so that we can learn better how it has to be done.

12th Week

We started this week after having had 2 weeks of vacation, we come unwillingly after these, it shows. The good thing is that we have a lot of advance work and the return is getting more enjoyable. The bad thing is that on the way back we were waiting for the challenge exam and we were a little nervous, after the holiday it is difficult to remember everything we did before. We are using this week to finish what little challenge we have left, especially to review the exam and thus be able to pass it with less difficulty.



Omron isn't my favourite program to work with, but it runs just fine, im eager to end the classes, so we can start with the final project. I am thinking on using the Universal Robot one, I might have to do it alone, Mikel Lopez doesn't really want to do it, but it seems like it's a nice experience.
In the workfield you always need to work on new things so its always rewarding to do something in a new way, and learn other ways of programming and robot. But im just thinking about it, if I dont do that i would also like to work on the ABB robotic arm.



We are currently in the last week of the project, we already finished the main programming, but we are still working on the HMI, it's a more complex way of working than Siemens's TIA PORTAL.
We also have an exam on friday, so we are also working on that, only another month untill we end the school year, so we are giving our best. We are also working on the conversation, Endika and I are working on it and i think it will turn out great.



We're in the last week of the challenge, and we're getting along really well. We have an exam this Friday about a programming at Omron and also schedule the screen. We are working very well as a group as we carry an order. Let's hope we'll pass on Friday's exam for all of us so that we can focus better on the next challenge as it will be the last and we can't fail. Once these two challenges are over, we will all go from practice to different companies. Mikel, Alvaro and Ander, as they are already dual, will remain in their businesses.



This week we finished another challenge. This week we have to finish everything to make everything perfect for when the teachers correct them, on Friday we have exam, this exam on my part is the most difficult because there are many things we need to know. Let's hope the 5 of the group pass the exam and move on to the next challenge that is the last one and thus finish the exams. This challenge has been very interesting because we have learned a lot and it will be worth us for a future when we are working.
