Shane Welcher
I have a lifelong life of automation and have 18 years in the machinery automation industry with PLCcontrol & HMIinterfaces.
Having been working with Rockwell Automation software for 16 years seeing the industry changes that make bold changes in building careers.
This is why I started teaching automation, it is our future, it is our present, it is a requirement for growth in the world.
I found that what I enjoy the most was to teaching people.
I make sure I separate myself from the pack by only providing helpful and useful knowledge for anyone looking to better themselves.
In other words, I use it for the good of helping people so it more of a trade to help out in another way.

Very good

It may help to start with the user interfacece for the course. For example when you talk about downwloads the user does not know where to look, plus there is added confusion by mentioning your personal website, when your name is not even introduced...

It was a great course, it helped me a lot to get started with PLC programming, the pace was perfect and the explanation was very clear and to the point. I highly recommend it.

A good primer for RSlogix 500 especially if you have background with other PLCs
By Keith Smith on 11/14/2019
Fiddled my way around for years and want an understanding that will allow me to be a better troubleshooter and set up my own controllers when we add new hardware. After finishing here I will move on to RSLogix 5000 since we have a mix. Using this course as foundational with OJT experience. This is spot on so far with my needs and expectations.
