week12

We continued with the new challenge, first we started identifying all the outputs, inputs, presence sensor, cylinder end of careers and PLCs inputs and outputs.

 After doing that, we started investigating about MPI and PROFIBUS comunications, and we realized that the MPI connection was easier than PROFIBUS connection.So, to do MPI exercises we didn´t have any problems but to do PROFIBUS exercises we needed the help of the teachers.

We have a lot of problems with the PLCs comunication exercises because the funtioning of the PLCs are wrong. So when we started doing the PROFIBUS exercises at the beginning we thought we were going to finish the exercises quickly but we had many complications during the challenge.

We have divided into three groups, each doing the exercises and programming her project PLC.
Jon and Giancarlo did the MPI and X-GET and X-PUT exercises, Unai and Josu did some of PROFIBUS exercises and Alvaro did the rest of PROFIBUS exercises.

In this challenge we have to comunicate each button of each PLC with the rest of PLCs, and in our opinion this has not been an easy work.

WEEK 11

We finished this challenge and now we have started a new one, the challenge 5.

Teachers gave to us what we have to do during the challenge and we had to organice how we were going to work.

We are worried because the rest of the groups have not been able to finish al the exercises on time.

On monday we started reading and understanding the exercises together but we realized that it was better to separate into groups and divide the work to be able to finish all the programs and exercises of the challenge.

On Tuesday we saw some videos in youtube to learn how to do some exercises and after that we started trying to do the exercises but we needed a lot of time to do it.

This Wednesday we continued doing programming exercises and once it was finished we started with comunication exercises.

On Thursday first we did English exercises and after that we continued doing comunication exercises, as with programming exercises, we had the watch videos on Youtube.

 On Friday we taked an our to see how we are doing the work together because is not easy work and do exercises in groups because someones will control more of some issues than others.
After reorganize, we continued with the comunication exercises.
