    Control.com Help

    You bring up some issues that we struggle with all the time. Our moderators fend off an unbelievable number of posts that are clearly "do my homework for me" posts (mainly, I have to say, from India, although I'm not sure why we're so popular for that specific purpose there). We also get a...

    Control.com on IE9

    I compiled and installed new menus for the Control.com site, and they appear to work in IE9 without resorting to Compatibility View. Drop us a note if you see any "anomalies". Thanks, Ken Crater

    Control.com on IE9

    Hi all, What a surprise - the new version of Internet Explorer, IE9, is more standards compliant than IE8. Unfortunately, this breaks the workarounds for the incompatibilities of IE8, IE7, and IE6 in the menu system we use for Control.com. What this means is that, for users of IE9...

    >I didn't catch the source and you won't hear >anything like that in the mainstream media. I'd say the New York Times is pretty mainstream. There was a great article in Sunday's NYT: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/16/world/middleeast/16stuxnet.html The article features some in-depth...

    Rockwell vs Siemens

    >I must now retire from the list for >fear that I do not offend anyone. I'm always sorry to see a forum participant leave, especially one with important ideas to share. Just to be clear, the moderator interaction involved the specific language of the post and the focus on certain other...

    RIP Control Engineering

    It appears there's a move afoot to keep CE going. I just heard from one of the editors that the management team is purchasing the publication and will continue Control Engineering into the future. Perhaps with its new ownership it will be more contentful. It's certainly difficult for print...

    PLC Archive is reborn

    Hi all, A while back, due to the aging technology upon which the website was based, we had to take down the PLC Archive. This was a repository of programming examples contributed by various members of this forum. Well, it's back now, as part of the ControlWiki.com site. You can access it...

    How important is multivendor interoperability to you?

    Jeremy mentioned... >Ken Crater tried this with an independent lab and there was no interest in that either.... < Yes, that was an interesting experience. I remember having an exhibit at an OMAC conference, and getting virtually no support from those one would think to be natural allies...

    ControlWiki launched

    Hi all, A while back (longer than I'd like to admit) an idea was spurred on this forum to create a specialized wiki for our industry. We've finally gotten our act together to launch it, and it may be found at controlwiki.com (as well as a few other addresses). A few more details may be...
