Editor's Note
They say experience is the best teacher, and I’m sure we can all agree with that. After all, you only need to get shocked once to learn that “it should be off” doesn’t mean it’s actually off. And you only need one “free” haircut to realize how costly it can be to your self-confidence. These little life experiences, that we hopefully learn from, make us better, wiser individuals. At AutomationDirect, we want to take that a step further and use your experiences to be a better, wiser company. We strive every day to improve the experience you have with us as a customer because we don’t just want your business, we want your trust. But we can’t do it without you. So please let us know how we are doing. Visit the “Company Reviews” section located under “Learn More” on the left-hand side of our homepage (www.automationdirect.com) or any product overview page to submit company and/or product reviews. Tell us how you really feel and don’t hold back, because anyone can sell a product, but it’s the experience that counts!
This issue of NOTEBOOK is loaded with informative content such as our PLC Speaking section, which discusses the importance of PLC scan time in any control system. We also have a great Cover Story on how designing with maintenance in mind can reduce downtime and provide a bigger ROI from your automated systems. The User Solution shows how the Do-more PLC was able to provide precise temperature control for cold, warm and freezer chambers at UNC Chapel Hill, and our Student Spotlight catches up with Copley High School’s engineering students and their recent projects. In the FYI section, we answer commonly asked questions about our multi-conductor cable, the New Product Focus portion provides information on our absolutely free online PLC training and the new WEG variable frequency drives, and the What's New section highlights some of our many informative content pieces. As always, the Break Room is stocked with fun brainteasers so see how many puzzles you can solve.
