I'm recently getting into the field of PLC's and Automation due to my job that is in Renewable Energy realm. As a young professional I don't know how majority of this stuff works and I find automation and PLCs extremely intriguing so I want to learn more. I Googled/TH-camd a bunch and finally found a good step-by-step video! Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your positive feedback with us, Cesar! Great to hear. Happy learning :)
This served as a good reminder for me to make sure I have speced out and ordered every part I'll need to actually land wire from the field to the PLC card.
Love the videos, keep it going guys!
Glad you like the video. Thanks for watching!
I am a Chemical Engineer working in a Petrochemical Plant and these videos have been a great boost to my learning
Amit, great to hear you found this video helpful!
Great video
Im near to graduating with an I&E degree
and my studies were a bit vague
This page's videos are a great summary to some of the classes that were required
A great refresher and boost of confidence heading into the interviews phase
Greatly appreciated
What courses other than Electrical engineering?
I work in Operations, Process & Automations Controls Engineering for an OEM as a Field Service Engineer. Here is what I think after being a recent subscriber in the last month and after watching about 100+ of these videos because I myself find them so damn valuable in my own job and to enhance my education in what I do on the job.
Whomever the guy is doing these videos and his team, but especially the guy explaining and narrating these videos and whomever his boss is They Should Make Sure They Keep This Guy Doing These Video’s. As Well Give This Guy A Rey Nice Raise. That’s not a joke. Because all I’m saying is these videos are very high quality made, explained and yeah... explained for which I find them invaluable in my own job doing many Major Automation Upgrades and Commissioning Startup with our own OEM equipment at our customer sites which are almost all Power Plants. Real pars is a huge thumbs up to me.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us! Happy to hear that!
I use ferrules in my work I'm a Technical Support Engineer for a machine company. but I'm in the field often. Its great to see how others work. You can develop some new ideas and strategies. Thank you all for the valuable content you provide I'm subscribed to the Online Library. There's a wealth of knowledge there and I'd recommend others look into it. People think I'm a PLC master when troubleshooting incoming calls.
Hey!
Thanks a lot for your kind compliment! We are always extremely happy to hear such positive feedback! If you ever have any questions, feel free to reach out to us.
Happy learning!
I’m about to start my new Job as an I&E tech in a few weeks time. Watching your videos helped me land an interview then onward to a Job Offer, mostly due to the education of your videos.
Thank you!!
That's amazing to hear! Thank you so much for sharing, and best of luck with your new job.
Happy learning!
I learned about front connectors and how they're used with modules to get all terminal connections out to the field. This was very helpful to see physically, thank you!
Glad to hear that!
Those front connectors look great! So much easier to connect the wires compared to some other PLC modules, where wiring is awkward and fiddly.
Very true!
the most thing i like about your tutorials, that they're short and direct to the point . this is really matter when you need a piece of info while working on the project. thank you and keep going
Great to hear that! Thanks a lot.
You're teaching skills are remarcable! simple and useful for everybody to understand. good job! keep it that way!
Hi Costin, we’re stoked to hear that you found our videos helpful. Thanks for the feedback! :)
I did not know that an additional accessory namely the Front Connector would have to be purchased with the modules. Watching this video has definitely saved me some trouble. Thank you!
Great to hear your positive feedback.
All your videos are valuable and top-notch quality. So impressive!
Great to hear! Thanks a lot!

Nice video. I recently started a machinery technician job. While I have yet to wire a sensor directly to an I/O terminal box I have done prox sensor replacements and wiring repair. We use ferrules all the time
Thanks for sharing!
Getting to learn the basics of PLCs. Excellent video for the same
Great video didnt know about front connectors didnt know about wire ferrels didnt know this is how wires are connected
Thanks a lot! Happy to hear that you have learned some new things today! Keep up the learning curve!
This Training is AWESOME
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the basic information.
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching! :)
I have learnt what actually an input module looks like. It's beyond what I have been imagining
this video is very helpful to new in plc, now i know how to remove the front connector of plc io module
Glad to hear that!
These videos are very useful for me because I´m learning very names in English, for example, ferrule. Thanks a lot.
You got me at: "And that's where you'll say: What the heck!?" :D :D
This is some good basic information.For a beginner industrial technician.
Glad you found this video helpfull.
Big thank you sir, for making my profession very interesting you are such genius Man for all over world's
You're more than welcome, Kiran! Happy learning!
@@septianti417 what you saying dear
Can you please make a video about Emerson I/O modules and VIM?
Your videos are very helpful. The only drawback I could see is that it is solely based on Siemens PLC hardware.
Hi Elshad!
Thanks for your comment and your suggestion. I will pass this on to our course developers!
Thanks for sharing and happy learning!
After watching this video I learnt how devices placed in a remote location are wired to a PLC's input module. Interfacing control signal wires to the "front connector", an accessory required to be attached to the analog input module, is done using wire ferrules. Remove a chunk of an insulated wire using a wire stripper and insert the wire into a ferrule, a metal cap that strengthens the electrical connection. After crimping the ferrule, insert it into the front connector so that the information is relayed to the PLC.
Glad to hear that, happy learning!
great video, this little techical information is unique in TH-cam
Thanks for your input.
It was very useful and illustrated clearly for beginners as I am.
Happy to hear that!
Thanks for these useful videos..
Am working with an SIEMENS partner... these videos are helping me to understand the device details clearly.

You are very welcome, Ricardo!
I love your videos. This video is really helpful.
Glad you found the video helpful!
very nice channel video about plc thats a very very knowledge about controller so thanks
RK
You're very welcome!
This is what I have been waiting for picked up a Siemens s7-300 on ebay with a digital and analog input modules and am learning how to wire it up as I have some k type thermocouples that I would love to be able to use.
Awesome! Let us know of any questions.
was wondering if you have any videos regarding connecting thermo couples as I assume that the modules have an internal comp which would allow me to hook it straight up to the ai module?
Thanks for the video. Im on the third year of electrical engineering and I'm still thinking about which field of engineering I should focus. System engineering seems the right choice for me. Hope I can work with PLCs
Great to hear, Diego! Keep up the good work!
Really helpful video to know about Analog modules
thank for this educational video
You are very welcome, Ercan!
very amazing. Thanks for this video
I don't recommend using both hands to crimp the ferrule onto the wire as the wire/ferrule might slide out of place. I recommend using two hands to partially squeeze the crimping tool down (it has a ratcheting mechanism that will hold itself in place until you've squeezed it all the way down) so you can hold and crimp the ferrule with one hand (that is if your hands aren't big enough to squeeze it with one hand when the crimping tool is wide open) and hold the wire/ferrule with the other hand. I always pre-crimp the crimping tool down enough so there there is a small hole to slide the wire/ferrule in to ensure a perfect crimp every time.
Great addition, Stuart! Thank you for sharing this.
I found this useful! I completely forgot about front connectors.
Great to hear!
i like your video ,your way of explanation is very good
Thank you! Glad to hear you are enjoying our videos.
Very helpful and easy to understand.

very helpful information, keep up the good work, it is very nice to have this useful information avialable on youtube.
It's great to have people on TH-cam who know the true value of practical info! :)
So useful. What a great video
Glad it was helpful!
This was an excellent video which came after a long waiting time of more than a month. Hope the other part will come soon. Please upload frequently your excellent and lovely work as we all are looking forward for your uploads. The learning point for me here of using ferrules even though it is basic but important to use in such situation to avoid shorting to the surrounding. Regards,
Creating high quality videos take time but we're trying to upload more frequently here! Thanks for your input and sharing what you learned.
That is true dear sir. Same is the case with me. It take a lot of time to shoot and edit a video with quality. Anyhow your videos are great and helping a lot. Thanks for your reply.
great video, easy and simple enough to implement ..... keep up the good work guys
