Shawn Tierney (Host): So I wanna welcome everybody. Happy Monday. I wanna welcome you all too. Sorry if we get some echo. I'm actually here in the, really the, the foyer, the the kind of the you know, where you walk into my offices.

And today, we're gonna talk about the CompactLogic's fourth generation. I do wanna wish you all a very happy Monday morning. And what you see here is the METTLA Toledo trade show demo from well, I I expect it'll be an automation fair this year and other fairs as well. I wanna say hi to, I think it's Jim's the the because of the setup, the screen is very far away. So but hello to everybody who's watching.

So in any case, this is what I'm working on next couple days. I gotta get this all up and running and do a video on how to set it up and use it, and I just thought it would be really fun. It's a rate control application. So, the the scale feeds into the I n d three sixty, and then no matter how much is left in there, it keeps maintains a steady rate out. So it should be pretty cool, but I'm looking forward to getting that set up later today.

And I was here, so I figured, well, let's just do today's automation, tech talk lunchtime edition from the foyer. Again, I apologize for any echoes you're here. Last minute mic setup change. So I'm wearing the lavalier mic, not the the headset that I was hoping to use. But in any case, let me know if you guys can hear me okay.

If everything looks good on my side, make sure you could see me okay. What we're gonna do today is the generation for oh, I know what I wanted to say. Tomorrow and I believe it's tomorrow and Friday, we have special guests coming on to talk to us about their companies and, what they've learned, recently in automation. So this way, you guys don't have to always just wait to hear from me. And what I've learned, you can hear from other people, and I invite all our audience to also, thank you, Jims, to also, you know, come and join up in, a ten day a ten day lunchtime, automation tech talk with me.

Because, you know, I I'll tell you what. I learn every time I go somewhere or visit somebody or talk to someone, I learn something new, and, I love learning new stuff too. So I wanna invite you all to come on the show. Now with that said, let's see if everything's all still set up correctly. And to do to switch to make the switch because I'm here in the lobby, I'm gonna have to do it like this.

Okay. Great. It looks like it's working. Okay. Let's see here.

Alright. Alright. Excellent. So we're talking about the CompactLogic's fourth generation, which is also known as, the fifty three seventy line. So we talked about on the first gen, we talked about the fifty three twenty and thirty, then we talked about the fifty three thirty one, 32, and 35.

We talked about the fifty three forty three and forty five, and so now we're on the fifty three seventy. And I gotta tell you, this, I thought, was a great product launch. I gotta remember, I'm using my my webcam now, so, don't put my hands in front of my face. But in any case, yes. So I, you know, I thought it was such a great product watch because if I remember correctly, they all came out at the same time, the l one, l two, and l three.

They all have the same features. Now this presentation I'm using is a free presentation from Rockwell.
