Shawn Tierney (Host): Hey, everybody. Happy lunchtime. It is Shawn Tierney here from Insights and Automation. I'm actually back in the training room working on a bunch of different stuff, but, I did wanna jump on here at lunchtime. Actually, I have to, be in another meeting at 01:00, but still, I wanted to stop by and do a automation tech talk with you at lunchtime.

And, I was just thinking of something, like, I just learned. Well, I shouldn't say I just learned it. But, in any case, guys, feel free to post any comments, questions, or in the in the chat. I don't see the names when you post them on LinkedIn. I don't know why this is a StreamYard limitation, but I should see your username if you post them from YouTube.

And, of course, afterwards, I do post these on the automation blog. I post them on the podcast channel, and I try to do the, the, the text version of the show afterwards when it's ready. So So if you wanna read it the following morning or later that night, you can. So with that, in any case, I hope you're having a great lunch. Today, I wanted to talk about a couple things here first.

The first one is if you're in any of my courses, I wanted to talk to you about I'm adding a bunch of new lessons every day as I work on the new ones, the new courses, which you all don't have access to yet, but you will get access to them, you know, and the appropriate ones. I updated the IO devices, lessons. So and I actually have all the updated IO here and addressing and whatnot. So I just wanted to make you guys aware of that. I'm doing that for all of the existing PLC courses.

I'm updating them all. Also, I have stop files coming too, updated stop files. So, keep your keep your eyes out for that. But now let's get into today's topic, and it's about the series c chassis, the 1756 ControlLogix series c's chassis. Let me go back to full screen here.

So recently, I'm I'm setting up a, an alternative, a filming studio in the house. Right? So if, you know, if we have a bad winter and I get snowed in, I wanna be able to film. Right? And so what I have had up to this date is, and, again, all these were purchased us on the secondhand market because of the expense of the new trying to keep my courses affordable.

But this is a series b seventeen fifty six chassis. I'm I'm sure most of you have seen these before, and this is actually getting mounted in this room. And I don't know how good this webcam is. I don't know if you guys will be able to see that label. I haven't I didn't try that before the show.

Everything on my screen is reversed, but that is definitely a series b. And I just wanna look at these patterns here. Right? Now one of the things that you may have noticed with newer products from Rockwell, and we've had them on the show that cover this stuff, and I hope to have them on the show many more times this year too. But in any case, I I love having all vendors on the show.

I think I was telling you guys early in the week. I met with, local, integrator who carries a lot of the brands that I have not had on the show, and I wanna get those people on the show. So they're gonna they're gonna I'm sorry. I should say a local reseller and panel shop, and they should, they're gonna try to hook me up with them. So great guys over there, Chris and Amy.

But in any case, I wanted to, you know, when when we came out to the new modules like this guy, you could see they now have this huge I hope you guys can see this okay. Huge heat sink on them,
