This week we finished the 4th challenge,the exam and presentation.
On Thursday there was called a strike by the teachers, they voted and decided not to going to a strike.
On Friday we took an exam and was quite difficult but we don´t know yet what mark we get.
On Sunday we had general elections. Unai had the luck to be table president in Amorebieta.
Monday was the last day of the challenge. We presented our fourth challenge project to the whole class. Then Jabi, our tutor, evaluated the checklists and we showed the work done during the challenge. As a team we are happy with the results of our work and the impressions that Jabi has transmitted to us. As for the exam and individual grade, we are waiting until they correct us and tell us the results.
To end this challenge we need to finish with the objetives set in the subject of the "Company" and thus be able to obtain the full grade.
Luckily, the labor conflict between teachers and employers has been resolved and the strike has been called off.
This Tuesday we started the fifth challenge . In this previous challenge we worked with Omron, on this one we will work with step 7 of Siemens.
Consists of 4 automated tables communicated between them. We have to make the programs individually of each the table and be able to communicate with each other by profibus. They are tables with neumatic cylinders and position sensors that perform different sequences. Classmates who have previusly worked on this challenge have had problems with profibus. We hope to solve it.
To program we have to use is a virtual machine and the vmware program because the PLC are old and use the windows xp operating system and the class computers have the windos 10 installed.
We have until Thursday, December 5 to finish this fifth challenge. We hope to finish it for the date and meet the proposed requirements.
The bad weather has arrived and we hope not to get sick so we can come to class and continue learning.
