This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. -------------------- 01 Introduction This is the fourth episode in an 8 part series. 02 In the previous episode we looked at the Allen Bradley PLC2, one of the very early successful Programmable Logic Controllers. In this episode we will look at another early PLC, the Siemens S5 series, and use it as an example of both how PLCs became more sophisticated, as well as an example of a different approach to the overall software architecture. Again, I will only touch on this topic lightly, this is not a course on how to program PLCs. However, I will give you enough technical detail to give you are rough idea of what they were like. -------------------- 03 S5 Historical Background Siemens are the largest PLC vendor on a global basis, and have been since the early days. Their first PLC was the S3, released in 1975, two years before Allen Bradley released the PLC2. There seems to be almost no information available on the S3, so I can't say much about it. In 1978 or 1979, sources are unclear about the exact date, Siemens released the S5 series. This was a huge step forward in capability and was the foundation of their PLC product line until replaced by the S7 series in the mid 1990s. In this episode I will focus on the U series, which were an upgrade to the original S5. -------------------- 04 A Complete Family of PLCs Fully developed, the Siemens S5 series was a complete family of products covering the entire size spectrum from smallest to largest. Siemens covered the entire industrial control market, and there was almost nothing they didn't have somewhere in their catalogue. You could spend an entire career using nothing but Siemens products for everything. 05 At the lowest end were the S5-100 series, consisting of the S5-100, 102, 103, 90, and 95. These covered everything from the small "shoebox" all in one form factor to ones which overlapped the mid range in terms of capability except for their compact I/O cards which were smaller and slower than the full size models. The S5-115 formed the mid range, coming in a "full size" form factor in terms of packaging and rack size. The S5-135 and S5-155 extended the S5-115 in terms of speed and memory. 06 In this episode I will focus on the lower end S5-100 series for the sake of simplicity, and will not make any reference to any additional capabilities of the larger models. It will be much too time consuming and confusing to try to cover everything, and there wouldn't be much point to it. -------------------- 07 Data Memory Types If you recall the previous episode, the Allen Bradley PLC2 had a data table, or memory system, that was a single linear range of memory with all I/O and internal capabilities mapped into fixed numerical addresses. Allen Bradley were to abandon this approach in their later PLC5 series introduced in the mid to late 1980s, but we won't cover that here. The Siemens S5 series however took the approach of having different types of memory addresses for different purposes. I will describe those for the S5-100 series now. 08 Input and Output Addresses The standard I/O modules for these compact PLCs had 8 inputs or 8 outputs per I/O module. These module plugged into a flat bus (as opposed to an enclosed rack) with slots numbered from 0 through 31 in decimal. Each of these slots had an associated byte number, and each I/O point on the individual modules had a bit number. 09 Input and output addresses had the following format. Letter , number, decimal point, number. The letter was either I or Q. I indicated inputs. Q indicated outputs. The first number was the byte number, which corresponded to the physical I/O module slot. The second number was the bit number within the byte, starting from zero. 10 So "I2.3" indicated an input module located in the third slot (numbered from zero) and addressed the fourth input (numbered from zero) on that module. Outputs worked the same way. For example "Q 5.1" 11 Analogue modules could be located slots 0 through 7. Analogue if you recall, refers to voltages which have varying levels rather than just on or off, and can represent things like temperature. Each analogue module was assigned 8 bytes per slot, starting at address 64 and going up to 127. In practice many of these so called "analogue" modules had nothing to do with actual analogue voltages, but rather any advanced module which needed more address space was used here. Even later high density digital I/O used these addresses. 12 Each of these addresses could be addressed as bytes or words. In this case input bytes were indicated by an "IB" prefix, and input words were indicated by a "IW" prefix. Output bytes used a "QB" prefix and output words used a "QW" prefix. 13 Flags Flags are individual bits of internal memory that are used for storing intermediate logic values. These began with an "F" prefix. An S5-103 had a total of 2048, numbered from F0.0 to F255.7. 14 Counters Counters started with a "C" prefix. An S5-103 had 128 of these numbered from C0 to C127. 15 Timers Timers started with a "T" prefix. An S5-103 had 128 of these numbered from T0 to T127. 16 Data Blocks Programs needing to deal with byte and word memory could create what were known as "Data Blocks". These were blocks of PLC memory that could be created as the discretion of the programmer. An S5-103 could have a maximum of 254 data blocks numbered from DB2 to DB255. Two additional data blocks were reserved for the PLC's internal operations. Data blocks could contain up to 255 16 bit words. 17 However, the actual number and size of data blocks would in practice be limited by available memory. Even 20 kilo bytes was considered to be a large memory, and this had to be shared with the program. A data block would be "called" to make it the current data block. Then individual words would be addressed with the "DW" prefix. For example "DW5". -------------------- 18 Program Blocks If you recall with the PLC2, there was a "main" program and a series of optional numbered subroutines. In the S5, programs were split into "blocks". These were Organization Blocks Program Blocks Function Blocks Sequence Blocks An S5-103 could have up to 256 of each of these blocks. 19 Organization Blocks When the PLC started up, it would look for Organization Block 1 and begin execution there. You could consider this to be the equivalent of the "main" function in a C program. Organization blocks had an OB prefix. For example OB1. With a very simple program in a very small S5 PLC, all of the program logic could be simply put in OB1. However, with larger programs , it was convention to put the logic in subroutines and simply have OB1 call each subroutine. 20 Program Blocks These had a PB prefix. For example PB10. Normal ladder logic style programming would go in these. It was convention to split up a program into pieces and put piece in its own program block. Normal practice was to have a program block correspond to a particular part of the machine. 21 Function Blocks These had an FB prefix. For example FB64. Function blocks differed from program blocks in that they could take parameters. This allowed you to write an FB that performed some sort of complex data transforms and re-use it by calling it with different parameters. Some instructions could only be used in FBs, not in other types of blocks. There were also built in FBs in some CPU models which performed certain operations such as converting BCD (or Binary Coded Decimal) to normal integer. 22 Sequence Blocks These has an SB prefix. For example, SB25. These were like PBs, but were intended for controlling sequences of operations where each SB performed as single step of the sequence and multiple blocks were used for a sequence. -------------------- 23 Programming Languages The S5 series offered four different programming languages. These were Ladder (abbreviated as LAD) Statement List (abbreviated as STL) Control System Flowchart (abbreviated as SCF) GRAPH 5 24 You should be familiar with ladder if you listened to previous episodes. Briefly however, it is a graphical programming language which followed the appearance of electrical ladder wiring diagrams which were familiar to engineers, technicians and electricians working with manufacturing equipment. 25 Statement List is a text based programming language which resembles an assembly language for an abstract processor architecture. Boolean logic results were calculated and saved on a stack, while integer values were operated on directly from memory or in two accumulators, ACCU1 and ACCU 2. 26 Control System Flowchart is a graphical language that takes the form of rectangular blocks with one or more inputs and an output. These blocks are laid out on a screen and then wired together rather like logic gates in a electronic schematic. 27 GRAPH 5 is Siemens' implementation of the GRAFCET (Graphe Fonctionnel de Commande Étapes Transitions) IEC 60848 flow chart standard. The IEC are the International Electrotechnical Commission, an international standards organization. 28 I will focus on Ladder and Statement List, as these were by far the most commonly used and we have limited time to discuss the S5. -------------------- 29 Statement List As mentioned above, Statement List can be thought of as the assembly language for an abstract CPU architecture. The firmware in the S5 PLC will run the instructions in an interpreter. 30 The RLO Boolean or bit oriented instructions operate on a logic stack known as the RLO, or Result of Logic Operation. Boolean operations typically take one operand. When a boolean operation is executed, if the RLO is empty it simply loads the operand onto the RLO. If the RLO is not empty, then the instruction is executed using the operand and the RLO, and the result replaces the value on the top of the RLO stack. Some boolean instructions do not take an operand, but rather work on the two topmost values on the RLO. If you are familiar with languages such as FORTH, this should sound very familiar. 31 The Accumulators Word oriented instructions work on two accumulators, ACCU 1 and ACCU 2. A load instruction will load a word or byte value from a memory location or a constant into ACCU 1. The value that was in ACCU 1 then gets shifted into ACCU 2. A transfer instruction will write the value in ACCU 1 to memory. The remaining word oriented instructions will operate on the values in ACCU 1 and ACCU 2, and place their result in ACCU 1, overwriting the existing contents. So for example, an add instruction will add the value in ACCU 2 to the value in ACCU 1, leaving the sum in ACCU 1. 32 Ladder As mentioned above, ladder is a graphical programming language which has the appearance of an electrical control ladder diagram as used with actual relays. The is by far the most common programming language used with PLCs. A ladder program however is just another way of presenting statement list. 33 To put it another way, a statement list program can be displayed on a computer screen as either lines of text, or a graphical symbols laid out in a meaningful pattern. All valid ladder programs can be represented as statement list. However, not all valid statement list sequences can be represented as ladder. Statement list is inherently more flexible than ladder, which means that you simply can't always translate both ways fully. 34 None the less, most typical control logic can be represented as ladder, and ladder is the preferred representation as it is quicker to understand at a glance when debugging a software or hardware problem. On the other hand, some statement list instructions have no ladder equivalent, or the algorithm may not lend itself to being represented in ladder. In these cases normal practice is to put the simple control logic in ladder in Program Blocks, and put the non-translatable statement list logic in Function Blocks. 35 Control System Flowchart and GRAPH 5 Like ladder, CSF and GRAPH 5 are actually implemented in statement list, and many of the considerations mentioned above apply to those as well. However, I won't go into any further detail on these here. -------------------- 36 Programming Software and Hardware There were two ways of entering a program into an S5 PLC. One way was the hand held programming terminal. The other was via the STEP 5 programming software. 37 Hand Held Terminal Like many if not most PLC vendors, Siemens sold a hand held programming terminal. There were a series of these, an example being the PG 605. This was a box like a large calculator which had buttons and a small display. The buttons corresponded to various instructions and a numeric keypad, and the display would show the current instruction being entered. To use it you would plug a cable attached to the hand held terminal into the programming port on the front of the PLC CPU module. You could then enter or view the program, one instruction at a time. 38 STEP 5 Programming Software The other way of programming was to use software running on a PC. Siemens called their software STEP 5. This was an integrated editing and debugging program. Originally it ran on CP/M. 39 Siemens sold their own portable PCs with the software preloaded, and with additional built in hardware features such as an EPROM burner. These computers were also known as "PGs". STEP 5 was later ported to MS-DOS by running it on a CP/M emulator which people would use to run it on an off the shelf PC such as a laptop. Later still a native MS-DOS port was produced. 40 This had modes for Statement List. Ladder, and Control System Flowchart. GRAPH 5 was a separate program. You could toggle between STL, LAD, and CSF modes, and if the software could translate what was there form one mode to another, it would. 41 The PC would be connected to the PLC by a cable which had an interface box in the middle. This could be used to download a program to the PLC, upload a program to take a backup, modify a running program, or debug a running program. -------------------- 42 Instructions I won't list all the instructions, as that would take too long. I will instead give a brief overview of them. I will deliberately skip over obscure instructions that would take too long to explain. 43 Basic Operations Boolean Operations There is a full set of boolean operations including and, and not, or, or not, set, reset, and assign. The assign operation would assign the RLO value to the address of the specified operand. 44 Load and Transfer The Load instruction would load the value of a memory address word or byte or a constant into accumulator 1. There are about 2 dozen variations on the load instruction. The transfer operation would write a word or byte from accumulator 1 into memory. There are about a dozen variations of the transfer operation. 45 Timers and Counters There are 5 different types of timers. Timers take the value in accumulator 1 as their preset when started. There are up counters and down counters, which count up and down respectively. Again, these take the value in accumulator 1 as the preset. 46 Arithmetic Operations The only native arithmetic operations in the S5-100U series are addition and subtraction. These add or subtract the values in accumulator 1 and 2. Another set of add instructions allows adding a constant. However, the 103 and 95 CPUs offered integer multiple and divide as integrated function blocks, FB242 and FB243. You would call these function blocks with the desired parameters and they would return their results in other parameters. 47 Comparison Operations There are a complete set of integer comparison operations which operate on the values in the two accumulators. These include greater than, greater than or equal to, etc. The boolean result is saved on the RLO. 48 Block Call and Return There is a complete set of unconditional and conditional call operations to call all of the various types of blocks. There are also unconditional and conditional return operations. Calling a data block makes it the current data block, for load and transfer operations on data words 49 NOP or No Op As implied these instructions have no result. 50 Stop This stops the program executing 51 Binary Word Operations These operate on words in the accumulators. These include AND, OR, XOR, Shift Left, and Shift Right. 52 Bit Operations These test, set, or reset individual bits in data words or in timers and counters. 53 Conversion Instructions There are instructions to perform one's complement or two's complement of the value in accumulator 1. 54 Jump Operations There are unconditional and conditional operations to jump forward or back to a label. This is equivalent to a GOTO operation. 55 Indirect Addressing or "DO" operations These instructions allow jumping to a block or selecting a data word or flag word according to a number stored in another address. Essentially, these instructions are like pointers. 56 Miscellaneous There are also various other instructions that do things like copy blocks of words, or swap the contents of the accumulators, 57 Other Instructions There are still more instructions which I have skipped over as it would take too much time to explain them. 58 Instruction Summary As you can see the S5 PLC offers a very comprehensive set of operations which go well beyond what most people would think of as what a PLC does. This is a very powerful instruction set. 59 On the one hand this is a good thing, as you can do nearly anything. On the other hand, this is a bad thing, as some people take this as license to do nearly anything. In the hands of the wrong person, this results in a complex mass of spaghetti code that not even the person who wrote it can figure out later. 60 This goes against the philosophy of PLC programming, which is to make things as simple and obvious as possible. With a PLC program, perfection is achieved not when it has as many advanced features as possible, but rather when it is not possible to make it any simpler. 61 While Siemens gave the programmer a range of powerful low level instructions from which he could construct nearly anything, many other vendors took a different approach. They instead studied what was needed in major market segments and provided the programmer with instructions that operated at a higher level of abstraction, allowing programs to be written in less time and with fewer instructions. -------------------- 62 Execution Speed Execution speed of instructions varied depending on the PLC CPU model. Here are some typical values for the low end S5-100 series CPUs. 63 A boolean AND instruction executed in 70 microseconds on a S5-100U, or in 4 microseconds on an S5-102U, or in 1.6 microseconds on an S5-103U. 64 Adding two words in the accumulators executed in 55 microseconds on a S5-100U, or in 23 microseconds on an S5-102U, or in 1.6 microseconds on an S5-103U. 65 The S5-103U had a custom logic coprocessor chip, known as the M5. Instructions that were executed on the M5 coprocessor tended to take a uniform 1.6 microseconds. However, complex instructions that were not executed on the M5 coprocessor were often slower than on CPUs that didn't have a coprocessor, such as the 100 or 102. I suspect this is due to some sort of overhead relating to coordination of the two processors. 66 However, most instructions in a normal program are boolean logic, so very fast boolean execution time is what matters. Since every instruction is executed every scan cycle, large programs require faster instruction execution in order to keep up with demand. -------------------- 67 The S7 Series Replaces the S5 In the mid 1990s, Siemens began introducing the S7 series which would ultimately replace the S5, although that took a number of years to happen. 68 The hardware was all new, but from a programmer's perspective, the S7 was an evolution of the S5. Some statement list instructions were dropped and others were added. Most of the basic concepts however remained the same. Porting an S5 program to an S7 was a complete re-write, but it was a fairly straightforward one. 69 The exception to this was the S7-200 series, which came into Siemens from the outside as part of their take over of of the PLC division of Texas Instruments. The S7-200 was an American knock off of a Japanese PLC and sold as a German product. It was none the less an excellent PLC and sold in very large numbers. The S7-200 was eventually replaced by something that was compatible with the rest of the S7 line 70 The S7 series has gone through a number of hardware revisions and remains Siemens' main PLC line today. It can via the S5 trace its lineage back to the 1970s and the early days of PLCs. -------------------- 71 Other Developments Japanese PLC Vendors I haven't covered any Japanese PLC vendors in the same way that I covered the PLC2 or S5. I had planned on doing another episode on one but I don't think it would really add much to what we have already discussed. However, PLCs from Japan are among the top sellers world wide and are generally very highly regarded. 72 Pace of Innovation In terms of general history across the industry, in the early days of PLCs evolution was fairly rapid. Later on, innovation slowed down as compatibility with the existing install base became a bigger factor. Technology has become fairly static, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing from a business perspective. I will return to this subject later however. -------------------- 73 Conclusion In this episode we covered the Siemens S5 series of PLCs. We covered the history of the S5, it memory and addressing, the different types of subroutines, programming languages, the instructions, and how it was succeeded by the S7 series. 74 We saw how PLCs had rapidly evolved from their very early relay-replacement origins to become powerful programmable devices. In the next episode we will look at I/O modules and how they allow a PLC CPU to interface to hardware and control machines. 75 This has been the fourth episode in an 8 part series. -------------------- Provide feedback on this episode.

Nagy Andrea természetfotós, a NoPánik segítő közösség alapítója, aki tizennyolc éve él pánikbetegséggel, tapasztalatait pedig sorstársaival és hozzátartozóikkal is megosztja. Andrea szeptember 19-én már harmadik természetfotó-kiállítására készül az Aréna Mallban. Ezúttal a négy évszak adja a tárlat ívét, a képekért pedig továbbra is járja az országot. A fotózás nála személyes kapaszkodó: amikor nehezebb időszak érkezik, útnak indul, új helyeket keres, és a fényképezőgépen keresztül ismét a körülötte lévő világra figyel. Eleve már a rádióstúdióba vezető út is komoly vállalás volt számára. A metró helyett két trolival és egy busszal érkezett, három átszállással, mert az utazástól való félelem sok pánikbeteg mindennapjait meghatározza. Andrea arról mesél majd, hogyan lépi át újra és újra saját határait, mit tehet a környezet egy roham idején, és miért jelent sokat már egyetlen megértő mondat is. A NoPánik felületein saját élményeiből ad kapaszkodókat, közben pedig olyan közösséget épít, amelynek tagjai már egymásra is figyelnek. A következő terv egy személyes találkozó, workshop és fotókiállítás, ahol végre azok is szemtől szemben találkozhatnak, akik eddig üzenetekben támogatták egymást. A Sláger FM-en minden este 22 órakor a kultúráé a főszerep S.

Greg Schreiner of Quick Organics returns with some major updates, including collaboration with USDA around the Common Organic System Plan and new tools designed to simplify one of the biggest headaches in organic farming: recordkeeping. Quick Organics now combines its Organic System Plan tools with an activity tracker and digital filing cabinet, allowing producers to document field activities, seed labels, cultivation dates, and certification records from their phones. But this conversation isn't about convincing every farmer to go organic. It's about helping the "organic curious" understand whether it could make financial sense for a portion of their operation. Greg tackles concerns about yield loss and explains why he believes 180–200+ bushel organic corn combined with organic premiums can create compelling gross revenue potential. They also break down the equipment needed to make the transition, including tine weeders, rotary hoes, cultivators, manure sources, and GPS technology. Greg estimates a producer could potentially assemble the additional equipment needed for under $75,000 and explains why starting with 80 or 160 acres may make more sense than transitioning an entire farm at once. Finally, Greg explains the three-year organic transition window, why timing the transition matters, and how producers may be able to position their third crop for organic pricing when the process is planned correctly. With conventional margins under pressure, this episode explores whether adding organic production could become another tool for diversifying revenue and improving the farm's overall bottom line.

In this week's episode of the Xtalks Life Science Podcast, host Dr. Mohammad Ali speaks with James Hackworth, PhD, Cebranopadol Development Lead at Tris Pharma, about the clinical challenges of providing effective acute pain relief while limiting the treatment-related risks of traditional opioids. James explains that when severe pain is poorly treated, prolonged pain signaling can, in some cases, lead to lasting changes in the nervous system through neuroplasticity. He also describes how targeting the nociceptin (NOP) receptor system alongside traditional opioid pathways may act as a biological “brake,” helping reduce abuse potential, physical dependence and respiratory depression. James also discusses the use of bunionectomies and abdominoplasties as standardized surgical models that serve as proxies for hard-tissue and soft-tissue pain in clinical trials. Tune in to learn more about pain biology, clinical trial endpoints and early-stage tools that could help accelerate analgesic development.

13. nedeľa po Svätej Trojici Kristus im odpovie: „Amen, hovorím vám: ‚Čokoľvek ste urobili jednému z týchto Mojich najmenších bratov, Mne ste urobili.‘“ Matúš 25,40b Skutky apoštolov 6,1-7 1V tých dňoch, keď rástol počet učeníkov, helenisti začali šomrať na Hebrejov, že pri každodennom obsluhovaní zanedbávajú ich vdovy. 2Dvanásti teda zvolali zhromaždenie učeníkov a povedali: „Nepatrí sa, aby sme my opúšťali Božie slovo a obsluhovali pri stoloch. 3Preto si, bratia, vyhliadnite spomedzi seba sedem osvedčených mužov, plných Ducha a múdrosti, ktorých ustanovíme na túto službu. 4My sa však budeme plne venovať modlitbe a službe Slova.“ 5Táto reč sa zapáčila celému zhromaždeniu; vyvolili si Štefana, muža plného viery a Ducha Svätého, ďalej Filipa, Prochora, Nikanora, Timóna, Parmenasa a Mikuláša, prozelytu z Antiochie. 6Postavili ich pred apoštolov, modlili sa a kládli na nich ruky. 7Božie slovo sa šírilo a počet učeníkov v Jeruzaleme mimoriadne rástol. Aj veľký zástup kňazov sa tejto viere podvolil. Kázať slovo Božie a milovať svojho blížneho. Tento text nám ukazuje, že apoštoli brali misijný príkaz Pána Ježiša vážne. Kázali slovo Božie a jeruzalemský zbor rástol. No Pán Ježiš ich naučil aj niečo iné: slúžiť. Veľmi dobre si pamätali, ako im umýval nohy. Ibaže to množstvo ľudí, ktorým mali slúžiť, presahovalo ich kapacitu. Preto si volia siedmich diakonov, ktorí sa budú venovať praktickej službe. – – Pozri sa teraz na svoj cirkevný zbor, na spoločenstvo, do ktorého patríš! Iste sa v ňom pravidelne káže slovo Božie. No je potrebné uviesť ho aj do praxe. Deje sa tak? Máte aj vy diakonov, ktorí sa venujú praktickej službe? – – A možno je dnešné Božie slovo pozvaním práve pre teba. Možno už dlhšie pociťuješ, že to, ako žiješ svoju vieru, nestačí. Že chceš dať Pánovi viac. Nuž, On ťa dnes povzbudzuje k tomu, aby si sa pozrel/a okolo seba a skúsil/a vnímať potreby ľudí. Je niekto v tvojom okolí chorý, núdzny, osamelý? Verím, že nájdeš spôsob, ako mu poslúžiť nielen Božím slovom, ale aj prejaviť lásku praktickou službou. Buď diakonom svojho Pána! Modlitba: Pane Ježišu, odovzdávam sa Ti dnes do služby. Ukáž mi, kde ma niekto potrebuje a ako môžem poslúžiť! Pošli ma tam, kde môžem priniesť Teba – slovom i činom! Amen. Pieseň: ES 549 Autor: Mária Popičová Nato sa anjel Hospodina (Eliáša) druhý raz dotkol a povedal: „Vstaň a jedz, čaká ťa dlhá cesta.“ 1.Kráľov 19,7 Pavol hovorí v búrke: „Preto vás vyzývam, aby ste si zajedli, veď je to potrebné na vašu záchranu, lebo nikomu z vás sa ani vlas z hlavy nestratí.“ Skutky apoštolov 27,34 Lukáš 10,25-37 • 1.Jána 4,7-12 • 3.Mojžišova 19,1-3.13-18.33-34 • Žalm 119,81-88 • Modlíme sa za: Bratislavský seniorát Otázky na rozjímanie: Všímam si potreby ľudí vo svojom okolí, alebo ich prehliadam? Komu môžem dnes poslúžiť nielen slovom, ale aj konkrétnym skutkom? Som ochotný/á prijať službu, ku ktorej ma Boh povoláva, a spoľahnúť sa na Ducha Svätého?

seen the point in digging into the past when the future was full of exciting technology.No: "Hva tror du egentlig vi finner her, bortsett fra stein og støv?En: "What do you think we'll actually find here, besides stone and dust?"No: " mumlet han.En: he mumbled.No: Men Signe lot seg ikke avskrekke.En: But Signe wasn't discouraged.No: Leif, deres hensynsfulle, men mystiske historielærer, hadde hintet om at Nidarosdomen skjulte mye mer enn det som møtte øyet, selv om han hadde advart dem om å holde seg unna bestemte områder.En: Leif, their thoughtful yet mysterious history teacher, had hinted that Nidarosdomen concealed much more than met the eye, though he had warned them to stay away from certain areas.No: Inne i katedralen var det kjølig.En: Inside the cathedral, it was cool.No: Ekkene av gamle koraler svevde gjennom den tunge luften fylt med duften av tre og stein.En: Echoes of ancient chorals floated through the heavy air filled with the scent of wood and stone.No: Signe så seg om med ivrige øyne.En: Signe looked around with eager eyes.No: "Kom igjen, Eirik, vi må sjekke den veien," sa hun og pekte mot et avsperret område.En: "Come on, Eirik, we have to check that way," she said, pointing toward a roped-off area.No: Sommeren var perfekt for oppdagelser, og uansett hvor skeptisk Eirik var, fulgte han henne.En: Summer was perfect for discoveries, and no matter how skeptical Eirik was, he followed her.No: Sammen listet de seg bort dit og gled inn i en skyggefull passasje.En: Together, they sneaked over and slipped into a shadowy passage.No: Lydene fra kirkegulvet forsvant gradvis da de klatret ned en smal trapp.En: The sounds from the church floor gradually disappeared as they descended a narrow staircase.No: Plutselig åpenbarte det seg et skjult kammer for dem.En: Suddenly, a hidden chamber unfolded before them.No: Det var som å tråkke inn i en annen verden.En: It was like stepping into another world.No: Glemte artefakter og gamle inskripsjoner dekket veggene, vagt opplyst av solstrålene som snek seg inn gjennom sprekker i taket.En: Forgotten artifacts and ancient inscriptions covered the walls, dimly lit by sunbeams sneaking through cracks in the ceiling.No: Signe kunne knapt tro øynene sine.En: Signe could hardly believe her eyes.No: "Wow," hvisket Eirik, plutselig fylt med ærefrykt.En: "Wow," Eirik whispered, suddenly filled with awe.No: Tross hans opprinnelige motvilje, var synet av artefaktene fra fortiden uimotståelig.En: Despite his initial reluctance, the sight of artifacts from the past was irresistible.No: Han bøyde seg nærmere de utskårne inskripsjonene, og for første gang så Signe en gnist av ekte interesse i øynene hans.En: He leaned closer to the carved inscriptions, and for the first time, Signe saw a spark of genuine interest in his eyes.No: Da de vendte tilbake til overflaten, var det som om hele domens mystikk lå åpen for dem.En: As they returned to the surface, it was as if the entire cathedral's mystique lay open to them.No: Leif ventet ved inngangen med et gåtefullt smil.En: Leif waited by the entrance with an enigmatic smile.No: "Jeg antar dere fant noe interessant der nede," sa han, som om han alltid hadde visst hva som fantes.En: "I assume you found something interesting down there," he said, as if he had always known what lay below.No: Signe følte en ny selvsikkerhet.En: Signe felt a new confidence.No: Hun så mot Eirik som nikket med et lite smil.En: She looked at Eirik, who nodded with a small smile.No: "Kanskje historie ikke er så kjedelig som jeg trodde," sa han.En: "Maybe history isn't as boring as I thought," he said.No: Deres oppdagelse brakte en ny forståelse av Nidarosdomens historie, og mens sommeren snek seg videre, ble både Signe og Eirik forandrede.En: Their discovery brought a new understanding of the Nidarosdomen's history, and as the summer crept on, both Signe and Eirik were changed.No: De hadde lært at noen ganger er det fortiden som kan gi best innsikt i nåtiden.En: They had learned that sometimes the past can provide the best insights into the present.No: Eirik viste en ny respekt for historien, og Signe visste nå at hun kunne forfølge sine passion med selvtillit.En: Eirik showed a new respect for history, and Signe now knew she could pursue her passions with confidence.No: På dette viset, i skyggen av domens eldgamle tårn, hadde de to elevenes reise blitt en del av den større historien som kirkens vegger hvisket om.En: In this way, in the shadow of the cathedral's ancient towers, the journey of the two students became part of the larger story whispered by the church's walls.No: Historien i stein var ikke lenger bare stein og støv, men en levende fortelling som ventet på å bli utforsket.En: The story in stone was no longer just stone and dust, but a living tale waiting to be explored.
