1000 series. I remain involved in the day to day operation of Oven and Burner Management system. I am getting more involved in the communication end using RTU / Mobus/Ethernet IP /Remote I/O. Continuing to sharpen my skills with Allen Bradley Servo Drives. Currently I am now more involved using Indramat and Sew servo drives plus Parker Hydraulics servo. As always trying to keep up with the current improvements and new PLC coming out on the market. I have found a new interest working with Automation Direct and their other family of products that work so well together such as their GS2 drives (VFD's) and ViewMarq Led Message displays they have made it so easy to induce the communication between the PLC and Drives and displays. They really have made these a pleasure to work with. Some of the software still has some quirks but finding it easy to work around
