Read the transcript on The Automation Blog: (automatically generated) Shawn Tierney (Host): Thank you for tuning back in to the automation podcast. My name is Shawn Tierney from Insights. And today on the show, we have a special treat. We have Mark Berger back on from Siemens to bring us up to speed on serious act. He’s gonna tell us all about the product, and then we’re even gonna do a small demo and take a look at it working live. So with that said, let’s go ahead and jump into this episode with Mark Burger from Siemens and learn all about their push buttons on PROFINET. Mark, it’s been a while since you’ve been on the show. Thank you for coming back on and agreeing to talk about this. Mark Berger (Siemens): Oh, thank you so much. I truly appreciate you letting me be on. I appreciate your channel, and I enjoy watching it. And I’m excited to show you some of this great technology. So I’ve got, the PowerPoint up here. We’ll just do a simple PowerPoint to kinda give you an overview, and then we’ll dive into the hardware. Shawn Tierney (Host): Appreciate it. Thank you. Mark Berger (Siemens): No problem. So as we stated, the Sirius X over PROFINET, let me emphasize that, the, actuators, the push buttons, the estops, the selector switches, they are all standard, when you use these. So if you have those on the shelf, the only thing that PROFINET does is that it adds, removes the normal contact blocks and adds the PROFINET, terminal blocks on the back. So every all the actuators that we’re showing are just standard actuators for the 22 millimeter push button line. So easy to use, modern design, performance and action, and extremely rugged and flexible. The, 22 millimeter is out of the box IP 69 k, which for those who are maybe in the food and beverage, verticals would understand what that is. And that’s for direct hose down, wash down, able to handle a high pressure washing and not able to leak past the actuator into the panel. So IP 69 k is a a great place for dust and wash down and hosing and where you’re having rain and so forth, to be able to protect for a keep of any, water passing into the panel. So introduction wise, it’s, the PROFINET push buttons for us. It it is, again, the same actuators, the same, connections, and so forth, but what we’re going to exchange is the terminal blocks, for it. So on there, I stated it’s, IP 69 k is standard. You don’t need any, extra covers forward or anything to fulfill that requirement, But it’s, it’s insensitive to dust and oil and caustic solutions, you know, like citric acid where you’re hosing down some stainless steel parts and so forth. Now what we have here is, changing out the terminal blocks that have wiring. So usually on a push button, you have two wires coming in, and then you have, for illuminated, you have two wires coming in and so forth and going out. And after you have 20 or 30 push buttons or 10 or 15 push buttons, you’ve got a substantial little bit of wiring or cabling that will be passing from the door over into the main cabinet of your control cabinet. What we’re going to do with PROFINET push buttons is we’re going to eliminate all that wiring. And then in addition, eliminate the input and output cards that you will need for your PLC and take it down to a pro, Ethernet cable, an r j r j 45 cable, and then down to a 24 volts. And that’s all that will pass from the cabinet onto the door where you’re mounting your push buttons. So, huge, safe and cost of wires. We’re reducing all the wire outlay. And, you know, back in the day when I build panels, it was an art how you got all the wires all nice and pretty and got them laid out and wire tied them down and so forth and just made the a piece of art on the backside. And then, it it was all done. You got it all wired. And then, of course, there was somebody that said, hey. We forgot to add another selector switch. So you had to go back and cut all that stuff and redo the whole layout and so forth. So with PROFINET, it’s extremely flexible and easily, to adapt to if you need something, more because you’re not taking all that wiring back to the panel, passing it across the hinge of the door and so forth. It is also with a safety PLC. You do have PROFIsafe, so we can do estops on the door as you can see here in the picture, but then we can do non safe applications also. So today, we’ll be just doing some non safe applications. And then the communications again is PROFINET. But then also just to touch real quick, we do have it on IO Link and on Aussie with our push buttons. So what is SiriusACT with PROFINET? There we go. So what you have is the first, block or interface module that you put on the back of your push button, that’s where the, Ethernet is plugged into and your 24 volts is plugged into. And then after that, subsequently, then the push buttons that you have is that you have what we call a terminal module. And in between the, the interface module to a terminal module or from terminal module to terminal module, you can go up to one meter of cabling, and it’s a ribbon cable. And we’ll show that here shortly. And then if you have up to we can do up to 20 push buttons, terminal modules, with a total of 21 push buttons. And then so from the first interface module all the way to the last push button, you can go up to 10 meters. And then it gives, again, 24 volt power supply for it. And we have, again, as I stated, as nonsafe, talking just PROFINET, and then the safety version, talking PROFISAFE on PROFINET. So serious act, we can go up on the the safety up to seal three and performance level e as an echo. We have, again, the the standard interface module without safety. You have the PLC, the interface module, and then the subsequent terminal modules for it. And then the cabling that goes from the interface module to out to the terminal modules is a simple ribbon cable that comes into the back of the terminal modules. The only tool that you need is simply it’s just a screwdriver, and, you, push it into the terminal module, push down. It uses, vampire connections, insulation displacement, vampire connections, and you push it down in. There’s no stripping of the wires. There’s no mix up. The indicator you can see on the wires here in a minute will show you that there’s a little red line that shows you, which way it, enters into the terminal, and then that’s it. It’s very straightforward. It’s, very simple with tools. And, as I stated, it’s, just like a normal push button that you’d put on, but then we’re gonna add, remove the contact block and add the terminal module or the interface module in the place of the contact block. Just to emphasize again, we can do PROFISAFE on, with a safety PLC and a safety controller, and we can give you all the safety, requirements for the either the ISO or the IEC specifications for safety out there in the field. Here’s some of the part numbers. First one, of course, is the interface module, and that has the ability to do PROFIsafe. It has also, additionally, four digital inputs, one digital output, and then one analog input. And we’ll talk about that a little bit more just in a few minutes. And then the non safe version, 24 volts. You have a, two versions of this one, one with just with just a standard, 24 volts input, but then there’s an additional one that has the four digital in, one digital out, and one analog in. So there’s two different part numbers. One where you don’t need the additional, digital inputs and outputs and analog, and then the and then the part number with the the additional inputs and outputs. But the safety one comes there’s no other version, just the one. Then you have what we call the terminal modules, and there’s three versions. One terminal module is just the command module only. It’s mounted with two mechanical signaling blocks to signal. So you have two contact blocks built in. Then you have one that’s a terminal module with the command, the terminal blocks, and then also an integrated LED. And then you can put what color you want the LED to be, and you can see there the the part number changed for red, blue, amber, so on. And then you have a just an LED module to where it’s no contactors. It’s just LED. And, I think with our demo we’re gonna show today, we’re just gonna show the contact block and LED module and only the LED module today. There’s some other, accessories with the safety. There’s a memory module to where that you, is all the configurations are put into the memory module, and something happens to that interface module. Everything’s put in there, the IP address, the configuration, and everything. If something gets broke and so forth or you have to replace it, you pull the memory module out, put the new terminal or interface module in, plug in the memory module, cycle the power, and it’s up and running. All the configurations, the IP address, everything’s already there. And then on the interface module, it does not come with an LED, so you’re required to buy this this, LED right here if you need it for it, and that’s what you use for the interface module. And then, of course, the ribbon cable that goes between the interface module to the terminal block or terminal module and terminal module and so forth come in five meter length and 10 meter length. K. So what’s it provide for you? Well, the benefits are, I’ll I’ll be very blunt. If it’s just one or two buttons on a panel, it won’t be that cost effective. Yes. We’re reducing the IO, the IO inputs and outputs, but for the savings, it’s not the best. Now when you get up to about three or four push buttons, then that cost saving is, very realized. Now when you go up to 20 push buttons, yes, you’re saving a lot of money, especially in the IO cards that you’re not gonna be required to have. And then, of course, all the wiring and the labor, getting it all wired up and doing all the loop checks to make sure that when you push this button, it’s wired into the right terminal block on the IO card, so on and so forth. So about, the break is about two to three push buttons to where it will become very cost effective for you to use it. But like I said yesterday, without PROFINET push buttons, it was all the wiring you brought across and putting them into all your IO cards and so forth. And now with PROFINET push buttons, all that goes away, and all you’re bringing across is an Ethernet cable and 24 volts positive and 24 volts negative across that hinge into the door. And that’s it. K. And then emphasizing again, we can do PROFIsafe and those, push buttons and estops. The estop can be part of your safety circuit and give you the, safety levels that you’re required from either sill and or performance level safeties depending on the specification, IEC, or ISO that you’re following within your plant. K? And then hardware configuration. Now this is where we step into reduction of engineering and helping you guys get going, quicker and making sure engineering is done properly. You know, back in the day, we’d wire up all the wires, coming from the push buttons, you know, a selector switch, a start button, stop button, indicator lights, and so forth. And and all those wires sometimes just, you know, the what we’re working with, all the wires look the same. You’ve put labels on them. You may have labeled it wrong, and you wired into an input card or an output card. So there’s some time where you’re over there doing some loop checks where you’re trying to say, yes. That’s coming into input byte dot bit, and that should be the selector switch. Well, with the PROFINET push buttons, we’re able to not have to worry about that, and we’re gonna demonstrate that just here in a minute. But you also have a full lineup of the push buttons coming into portal so that you can see the lineup and verify that it is the parts that you want. In TI portal, you can see that, of course, the first, button is the interface module, and then sequentially is the terminal modules that have either just contactors, LED and contactors, or just LEDs. And we’ll we’ll show that just here momentarily. But it’s all integrated into TIA portal. It has a visual representation of all the push buttons, and it’s simple and fast, to, configure. We’ll show you that here in just a moment. And there’s no addressing, for it. So some of the stuff that you have out there, you have addressing, making sure what the address is right, and so on. This is a standardized data management, and it’s extremely time saving and engineering saving for, the user. Shawn Tierney (Host): Well, let me ask you a question about that. If the snow addressing, do the items show up, in the order that they’re wired? In other words, you know, you’re daisy chasing the you’re you’re going cable to cable from device to device. Is that the order that they show up? Mark Berger (Siemens): That’s exactly right. Shawn Tierney (Host): Okay. Mark Berger (Siemens): So if you don’t know which ones are what, you just literally put run your hand from the interface module, follow that cable, and the next one that will be visually saw in portal will be the one that it lands on first. Perfect. And then there’s a cable that leaves that one and goes into the next one, daisy chained, and then that’s what’ll be represented in that lineup. And here in just a minute, we’ll we’ll show that. Alright. Thank you for that question. Okay. Now once I got it wired up, how do I know that I got it wired properly? And we’re gonna show that here in just a minute. But just graphically wise, you have the ability to see if it is all wired up. You do not need to plug it into the PLC. This all it needs is 24 volts. The PLC can come later and plugging it in later and so forth. There’s no programming. This all comes out of the box. So once you plug it in, if all on the backside looking at the terminal blocks and the daisy chain ribbon cable, if it’s all green, you wired it up properly, and it’s working properly. But then if you see a red light flashing either at the terminal module because that will that will bubble up to the terminal module. So if you have a problem somewhere pardon me, the interface module. If you have some problem with the terminal modules, a push button like number two or three or four, it will bubble up into the, interface module to let it know, hey. We got a problem. Can you look to see where it’s at? And as you see here, we have maybe a device that’s defective. And so it bubbles up into the interface module to let you know, and a red light lets you know that we have maybe a defective module. You know, something hammered it pretty hard, or, it may have been miswired. Then the second one down below, we’ve got a wiring error to where you don’t have the green lights on the back and everybody else’s there’s no green light shown. That means you have a wiring error. Or if everything works great, it’s green lights across, but then the next level of this is is my push button working? So then we you’ll push or actuate the push button or actuate the selector switch, and the green light will flash to let you know that that terminal module or interface module is working properly. And we’ve done our our, loop checks right there before we’ve even plugged it into the PLC or your programmer has come out and sat down and worked with it. We can prove that that panel is ready to roll and ready to go, and you can set it aside. And if you got four or five of the same panel, you can build them all up, power it up, verify that it’s all green lights across the board. It is. Great. Set it down. Build up another one and go on from there. So it shows you fast fault detection without any additional equipment or additional people to come in and help you show you that. When we used to do loop checks, usually had somebody push the button, then yell at the programmer, hey. Is this coming in at I zero dot zero? Yeah. I see it. Okay. Or then he pushed another one. Hey. Is this coming in on I 0.one? No. It’s coming in on i0. Three. So there was that two people and then more time to do that loop check or the ring out as some people have called it. So in this case, you don’t need to do that, and you’ll see why here in just a minute. And then, again, if we do have an interface module that, maybe it got short circuited or something hit it, it you just pull the ePROM out, plug it into the new one, bring in the ribbon cable, and cycle the power, and you’re up and running. Alright. And then this is just some of the handling options of how it handles the data, with the projects and so forth, with basic setups, options that you can be handling with this, filling bottles. What we wanna make sure to understand is that if maybe push buttons, you can pick push buttons to work with whatever project you want it to do. So if you have six push buttons out there, two of them are working on one, bottle filling, and then the rest of them are working on the labeling, you can separate those push buttons. Even though that they’re all tied together via PROFINET, you can use them in different applications across your machine. Shawn Tierney (Host): You’re saying if I have multiple CPUs, I could have some buttons in light work with CPU one, PLC one, and some work with PLC two? Mark Berger (Siemens): Yep. There’s handling there. There’s programming in the backside that needs to be done, but, yes, that can happen. Yep. Oh, alright. So conclusion, integrated into TI portal. We’re gonna show that here in a minute. So universal system, high flexibility with your digital in, digital outs, analogs, quick and easy installation, one man, one hand, no special tooling, and then substantially reducing the wiring and labor to get it going. And then, again, integrated safety if, required for the your time. So with that, let’s, switch over to TI portal. So I’ve already got a project started. I just called it project three. I’ve already got a PLC. I’ve got our, new g, s seven twelve hundred g two already in. And then what I’m gonna do is I’ve, already built up the panel. And, Shawn, if you wanna show your panel right here. Shawn Tierney (Host): Yeah. Let me go ahead and switch the camera over to mine. And so now everybody’s seeing my overhead. Now do you want me to turn it on at this point? It’s off. Yeah. Yeah. Mark Berger (Siemens): Let’s do it. Shawn Tierney (Host): Gonna turn it on, and all the lights came on. So we have some push buttons and pilot lights here, but the push buttons are illuminated, and now they’ve all gone off. Do you want me to show the back now? Mark Berger (Siemens): Yep. So what we did there is that we just showed that the LEDs are all working, and that’s at the initial powering up of the 24 volts. Now we’re gonna switch over and, you know, open up the cabinet and look inside, and now we’re looking on the backside. And if you remember in the PowerPoint, I said that we’d have all green lights, the everything’s wired properly. And as you look, all the terminal modules all have green lights, and so that means that’s all been wired properly. If you notice, you see a little red stripe on the ribbon cable. That’s a indication. Yep. To show you that. And then if you look on the on the out on the, the interface module, Shawn, there’s it says out right there at the bottom. Yeah. There’s a little dot, and that dot means that’s where the red stripe goes, coming out. So that little dot means that’s where the red stripe comes. Yep. Right there. And that’s how it comes out. And then if you look just to the left a little bit, there’s another, in, and there’d be a red dot underneath that ribbon cable showing you how the red the the red goes into it. Notice that everything’s clear, so you can see that the wire gets engaged properly all the way in. And then all you do is take a screwdriver and push down, and then the vent, comes in. The insulation displacement comes in and, and, makes the connections for you. So there’s no strip tie cable stripping tools or anything special for doing that. Another item, just while we’re looking, if you look in the bottom left hand corner of that terminal module, you see kind of a a t and then a circle and then another t. That’s an indicator to let you know that that’s two contactors and an LED that you have on the backside. Shawn Tierney (Host): We’re talking about right here? Mark Berger (Siemens): Yep. Yep. Right there. Shawn Tierney (Host): Okay. Mark Berger (Siemens): So that’s an indicator to tell you what type of terminal block it is a terminal, block that it is. That’s two contactors and LED. And then if you look at one in the bottom left hand corner, there’s just a circle. That means you just have an LED. So you have some indicators to show you what you’re looking at and so forth. So today, we’re just using the two, LED only, and then we’re doing the contactor and LED combination. I I don’t have one there on your demo that’s just the contactor. So Shawn Tierney (Host): Now you were telling me about these earlier. Yeah. Mark Berger (Siemens): So yeah. The so if you look there on that second row of the terminal blocks, you have a UV and an AI, and I’ll show that in the schematic here in just a little bit, but there, that is a 10 volt output. If you put a 250 ohm or 250 k ohm, potentiometer and then bring that signal back into AI, you have an analog set point that comes in for it that will automatically be scaled zero to 1,000 count or zero to 10 volts. Mhmm. And then you can use that for a speed reference for a VFD. And it’s already there. All you have to do, you don’t have to scale it or anything. You can put it towards, you know, okay. Zero to 1,000 count means zero to 500 PSI or or zero to 100 feet per second on a conveyor belt, and I’m I’m just pulling numbers out. But that’s the only real scalability scaling you have to do. So it’ll be a zero to 1,000 count is what you’ll see instead of, like, yep. Then you got four digital ins that you can use and then a one digital out. Now the four, I, kinda inquired wife just four, but let’s say that you have a four position joystick. You could wire all four positions into that interface module, and then the output could be something else for a local horn that you want or something to that case with it. So you in addition to the, push buttons, you also have a small, distribution IO block right there in the in your panel. Shawn Tierney (Host): Which is cool. Yeah. I mean, maybe yeah. Like you said, maybe you have something else on the panel that doesn’t fit in with, you know, this line of push buttons and pilot lights like a joystick. Right? And that makes a lot of sense. You were saying too, if I push the button, I can test to see if it’s working. Mark Berger (Siemens): Correct. So if you yep. Go right ahead. Shawn Tierney (Host): I’m pushing that middle one right there. You can see it blinking now. Mark Berger (Siemens): And that tells you that the contacts have been made, and it’s telling you that the contacts work properly. Shawn Tierney (Host): And now I’m pushing the one below it. So that shows me that everything’s working. The contacts are working, and we’re good to go. Mark Berger (Siemens): Yep. Everything’s done. We’ve done the loop checks. We know that this is ready to be plugged into the PLC and handed off to whomever is going to be, programming the PLC and bring it in, in which means that we’ll go to the next step in the TI portal. Shawn Tierney (Host): Yeah. Let me switch back to you, and we’re seeing your TI portal now. Mark Berger (Siemens): Awesome. Okay. So I’ve got the PLC. I’ve plugged it in to if if I needed an Ethernet switch or I’ve plugged it directly into the PLC. Now I have just built up that panel. I haven’t had anything, done with it for an IP address because it is a TCP IP protocol. So we need to do a IP address, but it’s on PROFINET. And then I’m gonna come here to online access, and I wanna see that I can see it out there that I’m talking to it. So I’m gonna do update accessible devices. It’s gonna reach out via my, Ethernet port on my laptop. And then there’s our g two PLC and its IP address. So that’s that guy right here. Mhmm. And then I have something out there called accessible devices, and then this is its MAC address. So what I and I just have those two items on the network, but, you know, you could have multiples as, you know, with GI portal. We can put an entire machine in one project. So I come here and drop that down, and I go to online diagnostics. I I go online with it, but I don’t have really a lot here to tell me what’s going on or anything yet. But I come here, and I say assign IP address. And I call one ninety two, one sixty eight, zero zero zero, and zero ten zero, and then our usual 255, two fifty five, two fifty five, and then I say assign IP address. Give it a second. It’s gonna go out and tell it, okay. You’re it. Now I wanna see if it took, and you look right there, it took. And I’m I’m kinda anal, so I kinda do it again just to verify. Yep. Everything’s done. It’s got an IP address. Now I’m gonna come up, and I’m going to go to my project, and I’m gonna switch this to new network view. Here’s my PLC. I’m gonna highlight my project. Now there’s two ways I can go about it, and I’m sure, Shawn, you’ve learned that Siemens allows you to kinda do it multiple ways. I could come in here and go into my field devices, and I could come into my commanding and interface modules, and I’d start building my push button station. But we’re gonna be a little oh and ah today. We’re gonna highlight the project. I’m gonna go to online, and I’m gonna come down here to hardware detection and do PROFINET devices from network. Brings up the screen to say, hey. I want you to go out and search for PROFINET industrial Ethernet. Come out via my, NIC card from my laptop, and I want you to start search. Shawn Tierney (Host): For those of you who watched my previous episodes doing the e t 200 I o, this is exactly the same process we used for that. Mark Berger (Siemens): Yep. And I found something out there that I know I gave the IP address, but it doesn’t have a PROFINET name yet. So that’s okay. I’ve I got the IP address. We’ll worry about the PROFINET name. So we’ll hide check mark this, and this could be multiple items. Shawn Tierney (Host): Mhmm. Mark Berger (Siemens): K. So now add device. Shawn Tierney (Host): And this is the sweet part. Mark Berger (Siemens): And right here, it’s done. It went out, interrogated the interface module, and said, okay. Are you there? Yep. I’m here. Here’s my IP address. And it also shared with it all of come in here, double click on it now. Shawn Tierney (Host): The real time saver. Yep. Mark Berger (Siemens): Yep. And then now here’s all the push buttons in your thing. And let me zoom that out. It’s at 200%. Let’s go out to a 100. And now it already interrogated the interface module and all the terminal modules to tell me what’s in my demo. Yep. And again, as you stated in your questions, how do I know which one’s the next one? You just saw the ribbon cable Mhmm. And then it brings you so forth and so on. So that’s done. We’re good. I’m gonna go back to my network view, and I’m gonna say, hey. I want you to communicate via PROFINET to there, which I’m done. And then it also gives you here’s the PLC that you’re gonna do because, you know, if we have a big project, we may have four or five of these stations, and you wanna know which PLC is the primary PLC on it. And then we’ve done that. I’m going to quickly just do a quick compile. And next, I’m gonna come here. I’m gonna click here. Now I could just do download and and let the PROFINET name, which is here, go into it. But I’m gonna right click, and I’m gonna say assign device name and say update list. It’s gonna go interrogate the network. Takes a second. No device name assigned. No PROFINET name. So this is how we do that time determinism with PROFINET. So I’m gonna highlight it, and I say assign the name, and it’s done. Close. So now it has a PROFINET name and IP address. So now I’m able to go in here and hit download and load. And we’re going to stop because we are adding hardware, so we are putting the CPU in stop and hit finish. Now I always make sure I’m starting the CPU back up and then hit finish. And then I’m gonna go online, go over here and show network view, and go online. And I got green balls and green check marks all over the board, so I’m excited. This works out. Everything’s done. But now what about the IO? So now your programmer is already talking to it, but now I need to know what the inputs and outputs are. So go back offline, double click here, and then I’m gonna just quickly look at a couple things. The interface modules IO tags are in a different spot than the terminal modules. So just a little note. It’s right here. If you double click on integrated I LED, you click here and then go to properties and say IO tags. There it lists all of the inputs and outputs. So it comes here. But if I do a terminal module, click here, then once you just click on it in general oops. Sorry. In general, it’s right here in the IO addressing. There’s where it starts start the bytes, but then I come here to tags, and then here’s the listing. So the the the programs automatically already allocated the byte and the bit for each of these guys. So if I click there, there, click there, there’s it there, onward and upward. Now notice that the byte so if I click on position four, it is three. So it’s one one less because the base zero versus here, it’s five. Just give me a little bit of a so if you look in here, all that starts at I four dot zero. I four dot zero. So k. So that’s there. So I’m gonna come here. I’m gonna go to the selector switch for this, and I’ve called it s s one, and that’s input two dot zero. Then I’m gonna click here, and I’m gonna call this green push button. Notice there’s two inputs because I have one contactor here, one contactor there, and 30 and 31. So then what I’m gonna do is that I’m going to go over here to the PLC, and I’m gonna go to and it’s updated my PLC tag table. There you go. It’s in there. So then I’m gonna grab that guy. I’m gonna because portal pushes you to use two monitors. I’m gonna come here, go to the main OB, and then I’m gonna just grab a normally open contact, drag it on, drop it, put it in there we go. And then I’m gonna grab selector switch and drop that right there, and grab green LED and drop that right there, and then close that out and compile. And everybody’s happy. I’m gonna download and say yes. Okay. And then I’m gonna go online. Alright. So it’s waiting in for me to switch that, and there you go. And if you wanna see my screen there, Shawn, that’s the green light is turned on. Shawn Tierney (Host): Yeah. Let me switch over to Okay. Bring up your, alright. And could you switch it back off now? Mark Berger (Siemens): Yeah. No problem. Yep. So there we go. We switch it off. We switch it on. Now I wanna show you something kinda cool. If I turn that off and I come back here and I go offline Mhmm. I have a indicator light that needs to flash to let the operator know that there’s something here I need you to attend to. So we used to put in some type of timer. Right? Mhmm. Shawn Tierney (Host): Mhmm. Mark Berger (Siemens): And so what we would do here instead of that, I’m gonna come back down here to my tab and go to the hardware config. I’m gonna double click here. I’m gonna go to module parameters, and I’m gonna drop this down, and I’m gonna put it at two hertz. Also, just to point out, I can also do a normally open contact and a normally closed contact and switch them. You see right here. Cool. And I can control the brightness of the LED if it has an LED, and it’s all hard coded into it. So once I’ve done that, do a quick compile. I’m I mean, you know, I’ve always compile and then do download. Mhmm. Mhmm. So we’re gonna download that and hit load and finish. K. Here we go. Turn that on, and now it’s flashing. Shawn Tierney (Host): That’s great. So you have a timer built in. If you need to flash, you don’t have to go get a clock bit or create your own timer. Plus, if it’s a button, you can change the contacts from normally open to normally closed. That is very cool. Mark Berger (Siemens): Yep. And that is PROFINET push buttons. As I stated let me quickly pull that up. Remember, you pointed out just a few minutes ago, here is the wiring diagram for that. So here’s the back of that with the terminal blocks. And you come down here, and it shows you that you just wire in that, variable resistor or a potentiometer. And you see m and you there’s the 10 volts, and then the signal comes into a. And then that guy is right here. Excellent. So if you come here, you go to properties and IO tags, and it comes in on I 60 fours and input and IO tags, and then I could call that a pot. Yeah. And now you have a potentiometer that you can use as a a speed reference for your VFD. That is very cool. Engineering efficiency, we reduced wiring. We don’t have all the IO cards that is required, and we have the diagnostics. Emphasize that each of these here, their names, you can change those if you would like because this is your diagnostic string. So if something goes wrong here, then it would come up and say commanding. So you double click here, and we go here to general, and it’ll say commanding and underscore LED module two, or you can you can call that start conveyor p b. And then that would change this. Now see this changed it. This would be your diagnostic string to let you know if if that button got damaged or is not working properly. Shawn Tierney (Host): You know, I wanted to ask you too. If I had, let’s say I needed two potentiometers on the front of the enclosure, could I put another interface module in the system? Even if it didn’t have any push buttons on it or pilots on it, could I just put it in there to grab, some more IO? Mark Berger (Siemens): Yep. Yes, sir. I have a customer that he uses these as small little IO blocks. Shawn Tierney (Host): Yeah. I mean, if you just needed a second pot, it might make sense to buy another interface module and bring it into that than buying an analog card. Right? Assuming the resolution and everything was app you know, correct for your application, but that’s very cool. I you know, it it really goes in line with all the videos we’ve done recently looking at e t 200 I o, all the different flavors and types. And when you walk through here, you know, I’m just so especially, thankful that it reads in all the push buttons and their positions and pilot lights. Because if you have this on your desk, you’re doing your first project, you can save a lot of dragging and dropping and searching through the hardware catalog just by reading it in just like we can read in a rack of, like, e t 200 SPIO. Mark Berger (Siemens): Yep. Engineering efficiency, reducing wiring, reducing time in front of the PC to get things up and running. You saw how quickly just a simple push button and a and, you know, again, a simple start and turn that on and off the races we went. Shawn Tierney (Host): Well, Mark, I really wanna thank you. Was there anything else that we wanted to cover before we close out the show? Mark Berger (Siemens): Nope. That’s just about it. I think, we got a little bit to have your your viewers, think about for it. So I appreciate the time, and I really appreciate you allowing me to show this. I think this is a a really engineering efficiency way of going about using our push buttons and and, making everybody’s projects in a timely manner and getting everything done and having cost savings with it. Shawn Tierney (Host): Well, and I wanna thank you for taking the time out of your busy day, not only to put together a little demo like you have for me to use here in the school, but also to come on and show our audience how to use this. And I wanna thank our audience. This was actually prompted from one of you guys out there at calling in or writing in. I think it was on YouTube somewhere and saying, hey. Could you cover the PROFINET push buttons from Siemens? I didn’t even know they had them. So thanks to the viewers out there for your feedback that helps guide me on what you wanna see. And, Mark, this would not be possible if it wasn’t for your expertise. Thank you for coming back on the show. I really appreciate it. Mark Berger (Siemens): Thank you, Shawn. All the best. Thank you. Shawn Tierney (Host): I hope you enjoyed that episode. And I wanna thank Mark for taking time out of his busy schedule to put together that demo and presentation for us and really bring us up to speed on Sirius X. And I wanna thank the user out there who put a comment on one of my previous videos that said, hey. Did you know Siemens has this? Because I wouldn’t have known that unless you said that. So thank you to all you. I try to read the comments every day or at least every two days, and so I appreciate you all wherever you are, whether you’re on YouTube, the automation blog, Spotify, iTunes, Google Podcasts, and wherever you’re listening to this, I just wanna thank you for tuning in. And now with next week being Thanksgiving, we’ll have a pause in the automation show, then we have some more shows in December, and we’re already filming episodes for next year. So I’m looking forward to, releasing all those for you. And if you didn’t know, I also do another podcast called the History of Automation. Right now, it’s only available on video platforms, so YouTube, LinkedIn, and the automation blog. Hopefully, someday we’ll also do it on, audio as well. But, we’re meeting with some of the really legends in automation who worked on some of the really, you know, just really original PLCs, original HMIs, up and through, like, more modern day systems. So it’s just been a blast having these folks on to talk about the history of automation. And so if you need something to listen to during Thanksgiving week or maybe during the holidays, check out the history of automation. Again, right now, it’s only available on YouTube, the automation blog, and LinkedIn, but I think you guys will enjoy that. And I wanna wish you guys, since I won’t be back next week, a very happy Thanksgiving. I wanna thank you always for tuning in and listening, and I also wanna wish you all good health and happiness. And until next time, my friends, peace. Until next time, Peace ✌️  If you enjoyed this content, please give it a Like, and consider Sharing a link to it as that is the best way for us to grow our audience, which in turn allows us to produce more content

Olá, eu sou Leo Lopes e este é o POD NOTÍCIAS, a sua dose semanal de informação sobre o mercado de podcasts no Brasil e no mundo! Hoje é segunda-feira, dia 18 de março de 2024 e esta é a nossa sétima edição! 1 - Na última semana, foi divulgado pelas empresas Rephonic e PodMatch o último AE Report, um relatório mensal sobre podcasts de entrevista. Os dados desse mês de março apontam que os podcasts de entrevista não estão tendo um crescimento expressivo, mas por outro lado, estão com números estáveis. Além disso, segundo a definição da pesquisa, só 13% de todos os podcasts desse tipo, são considerados podcasts "ativos e estabelecidos". Aqui vale a gente definir certinho o que é um podcast ativo e estabelecido segundo eles: é um podcast baseado em entrevistas com pelo menos 100 episódios publicados, cujo último episódio tenha sido postado a 10 dias ou menos, e que seja apresentado por alguém que não é uma celebridade - e nem parte de uma grande rede de mídia. Isso significa que, embora o número total de podcasts tenha aumentado em cerca de 20 mil entre fevereiro e março de 2024, o aumento de podcasts ativos foi de apenas 13 mil - já que vários podcasts deixaram de ser ativos nesse meio-tempo. Outro dado que o relatório apontou, foi que apenas 3,7% dos podcasters conseguem produzir mais de 300 episódios. A grande maioria dos programas acaba sendo encerrado depois do primeiro episódio. Link 2 - Um outro relatório que saiu recentemente, foi o Podcast Ranker da Triton Digital, com os números de fevereiro de 2024. A Triton avalia várias categorias do ecossistema do áudio mundial, e uma das mais importantes é a da Rede Que Mais Gerou Lucro com Áudio. O primeiro lugar do último mês ficou com a SiriusXM, que sempre tá ali, flutuando entre o primeiro e o terceiro lugar. A segunda empresa do pódio foi a NPR, que veio seguida de perto pela Wondery. A pesquisa também deu destaque para os podcasts que lideram em downloads e número de ouvintes. Nos Estados Unidos, os maiores destaques foram os programas News Now da NPR e o Crime Junkie, enquanto aqui na América latina, alguns dos programas mais baixados e ouvidos foram O Assunto do G1 (brasileiro), o Panda Show Sin Censura (mexicano) e o Modus Operandi (brasileiro). Todo mês, o relatório Ranker coloca uma grande ênfase na importância que os dados têm para profissionais de marketing e criadores de conteúdo, e o exemplo prático dessa vez, foi o caso do podcast que foi deletado pelo Spotify. Link 3 - E que caso é esse? Bom, pra quem não está sabendo, uns 10 dias atrás o podcast "Evolving Prisons" da podcaster Kaigan Carrie foi removido do Spotify, depois que a empresa alegou que estavam acontecendo atividades suspeitas relacionadas à pagamentos na plataforma. E, como o feed RSS também desapareceu, o programam começou a ser removido de outras plataformas e diretórios. No entanto, a remoção do podcast foi um engano. O programa foi deletado do Spotify menos de 48 horas depois de ser indicado na categoria "Podcast Independente Excepcional" na premiação True Crime Awards. O Spotify fez uma revisão no dia seguinte do erro, mas aí a Kaigan já tinha perdido seguidores, assinantes pagos, estatísticas e toda a receita acumulada dos últimos 4 meses. Depois da cagada, o Spotify declarou que estava trabalhando pra reverter a situação. E embora eles tenham conseguido restaurar as estatísticas e reembolsar a renda perdida, a podcaster sofreu um grande prejuízo, principalmente pela perda de seguidores em outras plataformas. E o Spotify pode ter mandado e-mail pra todos os inscritos do Evolving Prisions, pedindo pra eles refazerem a assinatura, mas quantos deles vão mesmo fazer isso? 50%? 80%? Todos? Enfim. A Kaigan disse que perdeu completamente a confiança no Spotify e que vai buscar outro serviço de hospedagem pro seu podcast, com toda razão. Link AINDA EM NOTÍCIAS DA SEMANA: 4 - Com o fim iminente do Google Podcasts, o YouTube Music continua aumentando o seu catálogo de novos recursos, e a adição dessa vez é do "Trim Silence", que elimina pausas em podcasts. O recurso não existia no YouTube Music antes da versão v6.43 já que o aplicativo foi feito pra ouvir música, mas como ele têm se adaptado às demandas dos ouvintes de podcast, o novo "aparador de vácuos" identifica e pula períodos de silêncio nos episódios de podcast, o que reduz o tempo total da reprodução do áudio. Por enquanto, a funcionalidade não tá disponível pra todos os usuários do YouTube Music, provavelmente porque os desenvolvedores estão esperando uma atualização adicional do servidor ou do próprio aplicativo. Vamos esperar. Link 5 - A revista online The Baptist Paper está incentivando os fiéis da Igreja Batista a criarem podcasts, destacando vários benefícios da nossa mídia. Segundo um informativo publicado pelo portal na semana passada, um podcast pode ser uma adição valiosa para as igrejas, porque oferece uma forma conveniente e íntima de comunicação com os fiéis. Além de se encaixarem na rotina diária dos ouvintes, os podcasts também permitem uma conexão pessoal genuína, inspiram os ouvintes, e se tornam uma ferramenta poderosa pra promover o crescimento espiritual. Outra vantagem que o Baptist Paper destacou, foi a facilidade de compartilhamento dos podcasts, o que (em tese) ajudaria a ampliar o alcance da instituição. É importante a gente ressaltar aqui que os podcasts religiosos são muito populares no Brasil. Nas paradas do Spotify, por exemplo, os podcasts "Café Com Deus Pai" e "Frei Gilson Podcast" estão sempre - SEMPRE! - incluídos no TOP 10 dos mais ouvidos. É interessante ver como o podcasting têm sido valorizado em todo tipo de comunidade. Link E MAIS: 6 - Uma podcaster independente ganhou um processo judicial de marca registrada contra outra criadora de conteúdo que estava usando o mesmo nome do seu podcast. O caso aconteceu na Australia. Canna Campbell, uma influencer de finanças que também é conhecida como SugarMamma, foi considerada culpada por violação de direitos autorais na última segunda-feira, dia 11 de março. Ela passou meses usando o termo "Financial Foreplay" em seu podcast, só que a marca Financial Foreplay® já estava registrada desde 2016 para a proprietária Rhondalynn Korolak, outra podcaster bem menos conhecida que a Canna. Segundo os autos do processo, a Canna Campbell tentou registrar o seu podcast com esse nome sem sucesso, porque afinal de contas ele já estava registrado pra Rhondalynn, mas mesmo com o pedido de reconhecimento negado, ela continuou usando o nome em iniciativas comerciais, palestras pagas e acordos publicitários com lucro ativo. A Rhondalynn afirmou que a Canna Campbell usou sua propriedade intelectual sem autorização, e criticou suas justificativas no tribunal. Com o desfecho, a influencer foi obrigada a pagar cerca de 75 mil dólares em custos legais depois de infringir a marca registrada. E agora são dois trabalhos: o de pagar o pato e de refazer toda a identidade do podcast. Podia ter sido evitado se ela tivesse sido honesta desde o começo. Link 7 - A Prefeitura de São Paulo inaugurou o terceiro estúdio público de podcast da cidade, chamado Sampa Cast. A iniciativa foi realizada em parceria com a Secretaria Municipal de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Trabalho e a Agência São Paulo de Desenvolvimento, no intuito de fortalecer a criação de conteúdo e incentivar o empreendedorismo na área da comunicação e do audiovisual. Mais de 700 pessoas já utilizaram os serviços dos estúdios públicos, o que se reflete em mais de 1.200 horas de conteúdo gravado. Um exemplo deles, é o "Compartilha Cast", criado pela Vivian Castanheda e a Priscila Berquó, que já gravaram mais de 90 episódios. Os estúdios estão localizados em Pinheiros, Heliópolis e Lapa, e operam de segunda a sexta-feira, das 9h15 às 17h30, com agendamento realizado todo mês, através do site da Ade Sampa. O link, como sempre, vai estar na descrição desse episódio. Link 8 - E pra quem é fã de podcast e de séries animadas, eu tenho uma boa notícia: a empresa Starburns Industries, que produziu Rick & Morty, vai adaptar o podcast de comédia "Hello From The Magic Tavern" pra uma série animada. A adaptação vai ser feita em parceria com a Play Hooky Productions, comandada pelo ator Sam Rockwell e o executivo Mark Berger. O podcast Hello from the Magic Tavern é um programa de storytelling, que segue os anfitriões enquanto eles entrevistam criaturas, magos e aventureiros na terra fantástica de "Foon". O apresentador principal do podcast é Arnie Niekamp, que criou o programa com uma mistura de narrativa, comédia improvisada e show do absurdo. Quem acompanha ele nessa jornada são seus co-apresentadores Chunt, o metamorfo, e Usidore, o mago. Essa não é a primeira vez que um podcast é transformado em animação, o exemplo mais famoso que a gente tem até agora é o The Midnight Gospel, que foi feito em cima do podcast The Duncan Trussell Family Hour, e ta aí pra não me deixar mentir. Até o momento, todos os envolvidos no projeto disseram que estão muito animados com a adaptação. Os criadores do podcast estão postando nas suas redes sociais que não vêem a hora de compartilhar sua visão com os fãs, e de contar as suas histórias em um novo formato. Link HOJE NO GIRO SOBRE PESSOAS QUE FAZEM A MÍDIA: 9 - Depois de um hiato que foi anunciado como "o fim do podcast", o Foro de Teresina da revista piauí retornou nesta última sexta-feira, dia 15, com uma nova bancada. O Foro de Teresina tinha sido interrompido no final de outubro do ano passado, depois das saídas de Thais Bilenky e José Roberto de Toledo, que foram recebidas com revolta por parte do público. Na época, a revista decidiu encerrar o podcast, que estava em produção tinha cinco anos e meio. Agora, de volta ao setor, o programa é composto pelo jornalista Fernando de Barros e Silva, pela jornalista Ana Clara Costa e pelo cientista político Celso Rocha de Barros - que já tinha participado algumas vezes como convidado na estrutura antiga do podcast. Ele é, também, autor do livro "PT, uma história" e colunista da Folha de S.Paulo. Ana Clara Costa tem experiência na Veja, nO Globo e Revista Época. Além das mudanças na bancada, o podcast também teve alterações na trilha sonora e na identidade visual. A produção continua nas mãos da Rádio Novelo, com direção de Mari Faria e coordenação geral de Évelin Argenta. Link 10 - E na nossa Caixa de perguntas do Instagram na semana passada, a gente perguntou pra você, o nosso ouvinte, qual foi o último podcast que realmente te surpreendeu ou prendeu a sua atenção. Essa foi mais uma daquelas perguntas que trouxe várias respostas bem variadas, entre elas: o Pausa Pra Sentir do Thiago Queiroz, o 80 WATTS do Shi, o Dois Empregos do Caio e do Klaus, o Dentro da Minha Cabeça do Príncipe Vidane e, pra minha alegria, até o Acepipes e Birinaites foi mencionado. Vários outros programas também foram citados, mas por conta de um bug do Instagram que sumiu com o nosso story da caixinha, a gente perdeu umas 10 respostas dos ouvintes. Valeu pela eficiência, viu, Instagram? Só que não. Agora, deixando os perrengues de lado, nessa semana a gente quer saber outra coisa: há quanto tempo você ouve podcasts? A caixinha de perguntas vai ficar aberta nos stories do Instagram do Pod Notícias por 24 horas - se o Instagram não der outro bug -, então não deixe de acessar lá ainda hoje pra deixar a sua contribuição, e também não deixa de seguir a gente em @pod.noticias. Instagram do Pod Notícias SOBRE LANÇAMENTOS: 11 - Na segunda-feira passada foi lançado o podcast Sambas Contados, apresentado por ninguém mais, ninguém menos do que o cantor e compositor Emicida. O programa é uma parceria entre a Globo e o Laboratório Fantasma, e mergulha fundo na história do samba em uma série de 10 episódios lançados de segunda a sexta-feira, ao longo de duas semanas. No podcast, o Emicida não só explora a evolução do gênero musical, mas também reverencia os grandes nomes do samba, ao mesmo tempo que fala sobre a importância histórica e cultural do samba na sociedade brasileira. Todos os episódios lançados até agora tem um conteúdo muito bacana, que vale muito a pena ouvir, e que celebra uma parte muito importante da música brasileira. Os episódios tem entre 20-30 minutos, e o programa já está disponível em todas as principais plataformas de áudio. Link 12 - Também foi lançado na última semana o novo podcast da BBC Sounds, o "Miss Me?", apresentado por duas amigas bastante famosas: a cantora Lily Allen e a apresentadora de televisão Miquita Oliver. No primeiro episódio, a dupla falou sobre as diferenças entre cerimônias de premiação no Reino Unido e nos Estados Unidos, desavenças familiares, páginas da Wikipédia e até aquela foto da Kate Middleton que deixou a internet fervendo em teorias da conspiração na semana passada. O podcast está programado pra ir ao ar duas vezes por semana; nas segundas-feiras elas vão abrir participação da audiência sobre algum tema específico, e na quinta-feira elas vão só conversar sem filtro - daquele jeito que amigos de longa data fazem. Os ouvintes podem enviar as suas participações por e-mail. O Miss Me é publicado pela network da BBC, mas já está disponível em todas as principais plataformas de podcast - em inglês, que é o idioma das apresentadoras. Link RECOMENDAÇÃO NACIONAL: 13 - E nessa semana, nossa recomendação nacional vai pro fantástico podcast Rádio Escafandro, apresentado pelo jornalista Tomás Chiaverini. O programa segue a linha de documentário, e em cada episódio faz uma investigação jornalística profunda sobre algum tema variado. Lá no Escafandro já foi falado sobre greenwashing, o vício que população brasileira desenvolveu em Zolpidem, a monogamia, uso de psicodélicos e muito mais. Tudo isso abordado com seriedade e irreverência - ao mesmo tempo. Os episódios tem mais ou menos 1 hora de duração, e são montados com entrevistas inéditas, gravações em campo e áudios de arquivo, além de, é claro, a narração do Tomás costurando tudo. O Rádio Escafandro vai ao ar quinzenalmente, às quartas-feiras, e está disponível em todas as principais plataformas de áudio. Então você já pode assinar o programa no seu agregador de podcast preferido e acompanhar de perto esses mergulhos profundos que buscam a verdade e os fatos.

What's good Revolutionaries? Learning to be free begins with the ability to let go of the external forces that attack us daily and to find the time and space for us to look inward. Former White House luminary and Political Operative, now CEO of Active Peace Yoga joins me on the show to talk about his journey out of the stressful political ranks that saw him as he says, "smoking cigarettes and drinking bourbon for breakfast" to leaning into a practice of yoga and meditation that have allowed him to be free. As Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley quips, "When Reggie Hubbard walks into a room, the collective heart rate decreases. Reggie is unapologetically Black and proud. He is a peaceful force that motivates you to think about how cultivating your own peace will allow you to fulfill your revolution. You will be excited by this episode. It will uplift you, push you, and make you want to learn how to implement the practices Reggie talks about right now. Shout out to my production team - Seko Varner and Sarah Boyinde.

"You're an errand boy sent by grocery clerks to collect a bill."The Next Reel's Speakeasy is an ongoing series of ours in which we invite an industry guest to join us and bring along one of their favorite movies to talk about. In this month's episode, cinematographer Paul Cameron joins us to talk about one of his favorite films, Apocalypse Now.We talk about why this film is such a key film for us and why Paul picked it, specifically the darkly poetic journey we go on with the characters, both internally and externally. We look at what Francis Ford Coppola went through to get this film made and how he, his crew and his cast all took their own dark journeys to make it happen. We discuss the script and what John Milius, Coppola and Michael Herr built into it as they adapted Joseph Conrad's novella “Heart of Darkness” into a Vietnam setting. We chat about what the actors – notably Martin Sheen, Marlon Brando, Robert Duvall, Frederic Forrest, Larry Fishburne, Sam Bottoms, Albert Hall and Dennis Hopper – bring to the table. We discuss the importance of the look of the film, beautifully shot by Vittorio Storaro; and of the sound, designed by Walter Murch, Mark Berger, Richard Beggs and Nathan Boxer, and how it's the grandfather of Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound. We touch on the original cut and Apocalypse Now Redux, not to mention Coppola's wife's documentary Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse and how all of the behind the scenes stories may affect one's views of the film (if at all). And we look at how well the film did, assuaging any concerns Coppola had during the making (especially since it was self-financed and required him to mortgage his vineyards). It's a brilliant film, truly one of the great American classics and well worth talking about.

Episode 15 - Eugene MirmanHello listeners! We made it to 15!Serendipitously, this article (http://www.recorder.com/15-Minutes-4996757) in the local press came out today about the show. Are we famous yet?!At this mini milestone, I’d like to send out huge thanks to my guests so far for their trust and earnest, eager, fun participation, so here we go. THANKS: John Hodgman, Case Hudson, Mark Berger, Annie Duke, Tim Lockfeld, Lois Parkison, Monte Belmonte, Hearty White, Matthew Latkiewicz, Soren Mason-Temple & Dave Rothstein, Daniel Oppenheimer, Andi Zeisler, Penny Lane, and Sara Jaffe, thank you thank you thank you . . . you get the idea. Thank you. (You can find all those episodes at http://15minutesjamieberger.com .Also and of course, thanks so much to all you listeners for joining us on this little exploration. And to Ed Patenaude, for always making me sound as pretty as is achieveable.And to Christian Cundari, for our theme music.Please, if you haven’t already, rate and/or review 15 Minutes on the Great Satan - sorry, I mean iTunes - or wherever you listen to podcasts - it’s more important than you can imagine, unless you have a podcast of your own, then you know how important it is. ***You may know Eugene Mirman from his comedy albums or Comedy Central Specials, from his roles on series such as Flight of the Conchords, Delocated, Startalk, and most recently and ongoing-ly, Bob’s Burgers. You may even know him as “Berny Foy,” the bad guy in the the 1999 “Firestarter” episode of Third Watch. I don’t actually know Eugene from that one, but I’m sure gonna try to find it! OR, as I said back in episode 1, about Mr. Hodgman, you may not know him at all, and if so I hope you’ll enjoy getting to know Eugene via this conversation and a couple of cuts thrown in from Monumental 9-volume latest release on Sub Pop Records, “I’m Sorry (You’re Welcome).”Those of you who know me know that my Sub Pop ( http://subpop.com ) hoodie (which I stole from Eugene) is one of my prized possessions, not only because great artists like Eugene Mirman and Death Vessel and so many more have been on there, but that Sub Pop has been rocking my world since way back when I used to eagerly await the arrival at Sounds Records of the next Sub Pop Cassette Compilation to arrive back in the 1980s. So it’s a huge honor to be able to thank to Sub Pop for permission to use a couple of Eugene’s tracks! Go Shop for Eugene’s albums and so many more beautiful noises on Sub Pop’s Megamart (www.megamart.subpop.com). We talked earlier this month of September 2016 at his home in an undisclosed location in Eastern Massachusetts. Tune in! for upcoming episodes with graphic novelist Jessica Abel, NPR producer/reporter Tina Antolini, in a couple of months, writer George Saunders but I’m so excited I’m going to mention it right now.And much much more!Find us wherever podcasts are found or at 15minutejamieberger.com where you can also find out how to find us on twitter, instagram @15minsjamieb and on facebook.Thank you so much for listening!

This is going up a bit later than we'd like, so, here, more or less verbatim, are the intro and outro for the episode:Hearty White is someone who’s incredibly famous . . . to the people to know and love his work. His radio show, Miracle Nutrition, blesses the faithful on Thursday nights at 7pm on WFMU, the eclectic, extremely independent, and unquestionably legendary radio station based in New Jersey but available anywhere. Go to WFMU.org for more on the station often called the best radio station in America. This is our first hour-long 15 Minutes. By now many of you realize that while 15 Minutes is the name of the show, it is NOT the length of the episodes, but a reference to the Andy Warhol’s now ubiquitous statement about fame. We recorded our conversation right after Hearty’s June 9th episode aired, and during our conversations, I make a couple of references to the that aren’t self-explanatory: I refer to a time Hearty mentions in the show when he and friends spotted Mel Brooks one night when they were out watching the ponies at Calder Race Course in South Florida. I also mention times when Hearty goes up to New Jersey for FMU fund drives and other events, when he experiences his odd fame, is welcomed by more fans than sees at one time anywhere else. That’s about all you need to know for now. I hope you enjoy the episode even a fraction as much as I enjoyed making it.Outro:Just in case it’s not clear to someone out there, I had an incredible talking to Hearty. I have a whole bunch of thoughts about this episode, which was our first 15 Minutes with someone I’d never met before, especially the risks of what I’ll call “fanzone-ing” myself when talking to someone whose work I so highly esteem. Hearty turned out to be a perfect first guest in this risk group because he’s just so gracious and generous. If you’re new to Hearty White, his June 9th Episode would be a great place to start after listening to this. You can find it on iTunes or, again, through WFMU.org.Okay, I’m going save the rest of my thoughts for episode 10, when I’ll indulge in a little reflection of these first few months.For now though, if you’re new 'round these parts, please go to 15minutesjamieberger.com for what you’d expect to find, including info on the first seven episodes you’ve missed (with John Hodgman, Tim Lockfeld, Case Hudson, Mark Berger, Lois Parkison, Annie Duke, and Monte Belmonte) and how you can participate in this exploration of fame. I’ve also posted links on our 15minutesjamieberger.com to just a few of the cultural giants that came up in our conversation. AND, because some people have asked, I’ve also posted just how one can go about rating and reviewing podcasts on iTunes from a phone or tablet. That is, if one wanted to do that. Rate and review a podcastfrom their tablet or phone.Ed Patenaude, thank you infinity for making this sound as pretty as it can possibly sound.Thank YOU for listening.-Jamie See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
