CX-Progamming

[jeepers]

Any softies familiar with, and/or good at this?

We need to talk. Let me know.

Thanks.

cx?

the rest of this message is filler because the server tells me I need to type at least 10 characters.

 

[jeepers]

Yup, CX. Engineering bullcrap.

Need help.

 

[theblueark]

wow seems like a really specific industry.

Sorry I thought you were maybe referring to C/C++/C#. No experience with CX.

 

[jeepers]

Apparently so. Lol. Having trouble with it now.

I did C++/C# before, pretty easy stuff, but I forgot most of it already so I couldn't help the other softie out. Did C++/C# like 2 years back.

i don't think you really need anything other than to sit down and analyse the stuff. Most programming languages are the same, with varying degrees of how easy it is to do certain operations. Unless you have to finish by a deadline, in which case some people like mountain dew.

Isn't plc programming more like assembly than C?

 

[jeepers]

Yup there's a deadline, and I've sat down to analyse. Catch no balls, leh.

Mountain Dew? Elaborate?

PLC. Yes there's a fair bit of assembly, but you still have to do up a program. Or rather, a ladder diagram. That first, then the assembly later.

Wah power. Mission-critical language and PLC, I wish you best of luck. These are proprietary specialties you will only have application for in 1 or 2 environments and just one working field. It's quite different from traditional computer programming, because the scope is more on electronic programming or rather, various disciplines of gating et al. Most of it is based around, yes, ladder logic. This is why engineering is fun.

 

[jeepers]

Nice sum up, gutturalpiss.

All the luck I will need.

Yes engineering is fun, but very frustrating when nothing's going smoothly.

Oh well.

If anyone can help me, let me know.
