Sean Tierney here from Insights and Automation. And today on the show we're going to integrate the Indy three hundred sixty from Mettler Toledo into studio five thousand with Compact Logix five thousand three eighty, as well as into Factorytalk View Studio. And I think you guys are going to really enjoy this. This is a pretty cool integration here, and they did a great job, I think, with, uh, providing all the files that we need to make this happen. Now, that said, I do want to thank Mettler Toledo, who sponsored this episode, so we would make it completely ad free. So thank you to them. And with that said, let's go over to the computer here and get started and let me press the right button here. Okay. So here we are on the computer. You can see I've got SES links open. You can see I have well getting ready for another in-person hands on class. Um, we're going to be doing a special here. So if you guys want to buy block of times for in-person training next year, let me know. The special price is only good through the end of twenty twenty five. So even though you don't have to take the training until twenty twenty six. But in any case, um, what we're going to see here is this is the PLC I'm going to use this is my Or pack. This is my uh, L368 fifty three eighty, I think I got thirty seven in it. And then up here you can see the IND three sixty shows up o...

Discrete vs. Digital: Automation Tech Talk for 10/20/25

It's Sean Tierney here from Insights and Automation. And I'm trying something completely new. I hope it's working. I hope you can hear me. I'm actually in a different room here. What I'm calling studio C, which as I'm updating all my PLC courses, I need to I needed another spot to be able to, um, film videos.<br /> <br /> And so I'm kind of looking off to the side because I need to get another monitor in here. But in any case, I hope you're doing well. I don't know if you guys are seeing my audio. I don't know if you're hearing my audio or seeing my video. I don't know what the quality is, but hey, you get to try things out. I'm actually trying Restream instead of StreamYard because there's some audio delays with the StreamYard that, uh, if you're not using the webcams, audio or whatever.<br /> <br /> So in any case, I just figured I'd just, uh, show you, uh, you know, test this out. And I wanted to talk to you about discrete versus digital. I o so I've seen some people who call themselves experts. Of course, you guys know I train for a living. I teach, uh, you know, Allen-bradley, Siemens PLC, HMI and SCADA and, uh, you know, there's a lot of competition out there, a lot of people saying they're experts and a lot of them actually share incorrect information.<br /> <br /> And one of the not so, not so horrible information is shares when they're calling Rockwell's IO discrete IO. And of course, if you want to use the word discrete, fine. Right. I always use the word digital. And I'll show you why I use that word. And I know even in Rockwell, there was controversy years ago, I remember seeing a, uh, a letter come out from Rockwell. I don't know if it was rescinded or not, saying we're going to go from one to the other or whatever, but in any case, it kind of came to mind. Uh, I was reminded of this. Let me go to my my screen here, but I recently, uh, partnered with Schneider Electric, uh, great company to cover their modicon edge. Io wants a new a whole bunch of io they came out with, and I think it's really cool. I filmed, I think, a forty five or fifty minute, uh, episode on it. They're reviewing it now Ensure there's no additional graphics they want to add or anything I technically got wrong. That's one of the things we do with our sponsors, is they can go through and say, did you cut this? Add this. You know, just just we want to make sure it's technically correct. They don't they don't get the storyboard, a script, the the episode.<br /> <br /> But in any case, it was a lot of fun doing that episode. It's again, it's not ready to go out yet, but soon. Uh, in any case, um, I noticed I kept saying digital I o and their modules specifically say on them discrete I o. And so, um, I just noticed that the restream is putting their logo right over my face. Isn't that nice? So let me take care. See, this is what we call about testing things.

MD-34A-DD Win10 IPC Tablet Dock (M5E45)
<br /> Shawn details the MD-34A Windows 10 Industrial Tablet Desk Dock from Siemens in Episode 45 of The Automation Minute, Season 5.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Listen to The Automation Minute on The Automation Blog:<br /> <br /> The Automation Minute, Season 5 Episode 45 Show Notes: The links mentioned in the video are listed below:<br /> <br /> * <br /> <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://www.siemens.com/global/en/products/automation/industrial-computing/simatic-industrial-tablet-pc.html">MD-34A Product Website</a><br /> <br /> * <br /> <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://theautomationblog.com/first-look-simatic-ipc-tablet-md-34a/">Previous episode on the MD-34A </a><br /> <br /> * <br /> <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://theautomationschool.com/courses/101-s7c/">Shawn's Siemens S7 Course</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Read the transcript on The Automation Blog: (automatically generated)<br /> Shawn Tierney (Host): Hey everyone, welcome back to the show. Shawn Tierney here from Insights. And today, we're gonna take a look at the desk dock for the MD dash 34 a Windows 10 tablet from Siemens. You remember I took a look at this I five tablet a while back, and at the time, I asked if they could send me the desk dock or docking station so that I could leave it here on the stage and actually use it because it's a gray I five Windows PC that happens to also be a tablet and a barcode reader and an RFID reader and all these other things too. In any case, it did come in, several weeks later, and I filmed an episode.<br /> <br /> I don't know what happened to it, but it never got published. So, I wanted to in appreciation for them sending this over and sponsoring this episode so it's ad free, I did wanna cover. So in any case, let me first, though, take this guy out and, shut her down because her fan is running. I got it doing all kinds of cool stuff. Now I was really surprised.<br /> <br /> I turned it on and it still had all battery. Even though I hadn't used it in months, it still had a full battery. So I really appreciated that. That's cool. A lot of times at home, my tablet, you know, even if it's off, it still will, drain batteries.<br /> <br /> So I didn't like that at all. So look at that guy turned off. Now I'm not gonna do an unboxing because the, the box was just a simple cardboard box that came in there wrapped in plastic and very secure, but there wasn't a lot to show with that, so I didn't go and dig up that archival footage. But what I do wanna do here now is go to overhead mode, and then let me go ahead and unplug the ethernet cable and the power cable. This This is the same power cable that came with the tablet.<br /> <br /> Right? So you don't have to go and buy that again. And let's take a look at what comes with this, what they call their, desktop or what I would call a docking station. And I think we can even zoom in a little bit more on it. Here, let's try.<br /> <br /> Okay. The first thing I wanted to show you is that it has these two metal pegs that make it very easy to align the actual tablet when you go to pull it in. I'm gonna go ahead and bring the tablet back out here, and we can see those two little holes there. And so that makes it extremely easy to align it up and put it in there nice and secure. Right?<br /> <br /> And so I really like that. And so that's the first thing here, and you can see all the connections down there at the bottom. Alright. And then if we take a look at the back here, this is where we see this is where I have the power going in. And here we can see two, sorry, two USB two point o's, not three point o's.<br /> <br /> Alright. There is a three point o and a USB c in the unit itself. And then we have another RJ 45. This is a ten one hundred. So this is great if you're just leaving it on your desk and, when you plug in, you wanna get off Wi Fi.<br /> <br /> Again, there's an r j 45 in the unit itself as well,
