Morning
I got started by going down to Craig Tibbs' office to try to track him down. He wasn't in today. Jim is also out for this entire week. I hit up Dean and Tobin on my maintenance hours estimate. Dean padded some of the numbers, and Tobin increased a few. I spent some time across the street talking with Curtis and Rich too. I was trying to find a time when S9 will be open so that I can try out some beam patterns using the existing PLC.
Afternoon
The drawing that I made for the backpanel didn't have a BOM or the new circuit breakers, so I added those items. Tony also pulled me over to Ken Hansen's office to look at what he did for beam patterns. He hooked up an old TekTronics scope with a Compact Logix cpu to produce a pretty good pattern. It wasn't perfect or anything, but it was more than we need for a furnace with only a small dedicated system. The real test will be if we can get away with just using the existing PLC. I am not as convinced as before, but all will be revealed when we try it out.
