Tom that's pretty awesome, I'll say you definately win the prize for getting the most out of your technology. No telling what I could learn from hanging out with you for 5 minutes.

My brother is one of the top engineers at Allen Bradley and has worked for them for over 30 years. He quit trying to detail his projects to me about 15 years ago. He must be pretty good because every time they make a change they fire just about everyone else and keep him. He has also won Rockwell's Leonardo Da Vinci award (Engineer of the Year). Cane and him could probably have a few good talks.

If it was made by Allen Bradley then we could not afford it

. And it would cost you $3000 a year just to talk to Tech Support

, and most of the time I know more about there stuff then they do, so please don't wish for something like that. I have been in the Industrial Automation business for 27 years and they are alot of better controls out there.
