Shawn Tierney here from Insights and Automation. Today is Thursday. What is today? September 11, I believe. I hope you all are having a great day. And, you know, I didn't even know if I was gonna be able to do this, give it everything that's been going on. Plus, I just got off the phone, actually off of out of a meeting with a larger vendor talking about their brand new IO, which I'll be covering in a few weeks. Pretty awesome stuff. Can't wait to share it with you guys. But in any case, if you were here yesterday, I actually ended up deleting the livestream after the livestream because I ran into an issue that something didn't work. And I believe I resolved that. So I'm gonna try it again today. And what am I talking about? What are we gonna cover? Well and, again, if you can't hear me or if there's a problem with the visuals, let me know in the chat because there's no nobody in the control room. It's all just me. But in any case, we're gonna be integrating these two. I have, a long time ago, the folks over at, IFM sent me in some products. They didn't sponsor any coverage on it, and I've really struggled covering it. So I did cover these modules with a, with a, a PLC they sent me, and I did, cover these devices with Allen Bradley and Siemens products as dumb devices, not as IO Link devices. But I thought, you know, the automation, automation tech talk lunchtime edition, I think, would be a great time to cover some of these unsponsored products that have been piling up, and I try not to accept anymore because I'm out of room. But in any case, it's it's, I thought this would be a good time to test them out. And today, based on what happened yesterday, today, I'm going to try to get both of these set up on our CompactLogix. Now try to go back here to full screen. What happened yesterday was Logix kept crashing, and I believe it's because of, Connect Components Workbench when I upgraded it and installed something that was incompatible with the version of Logix I had. So we'll find out. But in any case, let's go over to the computer here, and I have to do this kind of a different way because if I do it through the camera system, I do have a I do have an, request into the company, this whose software this is, and it's not showing me the view I wanted. That's the view I wanted. But I'm like, guys, you gotta help me make my you know, zoom in on this camera, but in any case, I won't, bother you with that. What we are looking at here, though, is what's the first step in getting these things to work? And the first step is where's the web page I had up? K. We gotta go to the product's web page, and on the product's web page, we wanna grab a couple of downloads. Okay. If we're gonna integrate these, IO link blocks on EthernetIP to our CompactLogix, we're gonna wanna get the download. So this is the web page. After the fact, this is an AL thirteen twenty two. After the fact, I'll go and put all links. And, again, I ran right over here from the meeting I just had, so I didn't have a chance to put those links in. But any case, we wanna go to downloads. And the two downloads I needed, and I apologize if you caught yesterday's show. I'm gonna repeat myself a little bit, but I got the Allen Bradley collection here. Right? And I also got the,
