Conoce los planes de Holaflyhttps://esim.holafly.com/es/utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=itnigEn este capítulo de Itnig, Bernat Farrero conversa con Raúl Verdú, cofundador de PLD Space, la empresa española que está abriendo camino en la industria aeroespacial europea. Raúl explica cómo han construido desde cero una compañía de transporte espacial capaz de diseñar, fabricar y lanzar cohetes propios, en un sector donde la barrera tecnológica, financiera y regulatoria es gigantesca. Se repasa el exitoso lanzamiento del Miura 1, el proceso de reutilización de cohetes y cómo la compañía se prepara para el Miura 5, su primer vehículo orbital.La conversación profundiza en cómo funciona realmente el negocio espacial: desde la cadena de valor de los satélites, la importancia de la fiabilidad en los lanzamientos, el papel de las aseguradoras, hasta por qué existe una demanda tan alta de capacidad para enviar satélites al espacio. Raúl ofrece una visión muy clara del mercado actual: telecomunicaciones, GPS, observación de la Tierra, defensa e incluso turismo espacial. También explica cómo SpaceX ha cambiado la industria con la integración vertical y la reutilización, y cómo PLD Space aplica esa misma filosofía en Europa.Otro eje del episodio es la geopolítica del espacio: los tratados internacionales, el rol de los gobiernos, los usos civiles y militares de los satélites, y cómo el conflicto global está llevando a una demanda explosiva de infraestructura espacial. Además, Raúl detalla todos los desafíos técnicos: la física extrema detrás de poner objetos en órbita, la fabricación de motores, estructuras, software, electrónica, y la enorme complejidad de garantizar la seguridad incluso en misiones tripuladas. Finalmente, el episodio muestra el lado más emprendedor: 14 años de construcción de empresa, de pasar de “seis años haciendo pan y seis años haciendo cohetes”, a convertirse en el referente europeo del acceso comercial al espacio.

Seguendo la tendenza politica che si registra in buona parte dei Paesi occidentali, anche il Giappone svolta verso destra. E lo fa con l'ultraconservatrice Sanae Takaichi, 64 anni, che ha clamorosamente sconfitto il favorito Shinjiro Koizumi alle elezioni per la presidenza del Partito liberaldemocratico (Pld) che domina la politica giapponese da decenni. Al ballottaggio, Takaichi ha raccolto maggiori consensi tra i deputati fedeli agli esclusi al primo turno, battendo Koizumi per 185 voti contro 156. Sarà la prima donna premier del Giappone. Ascoltiamo la corrispondenza da Shanghai del giornalista e analista Michelangelo Cocco. 

Le Japon fait de nouveau la une des marchés mondiaux. Sanae Takaichi vient de prendre la tête du PLD (le parti au pouvoir), et le Nikkei bondit de +4 %. Pourquoi ?

Read the transcript on The Automation Blog: (automatically generated) Shawn Tierney (Host): Everybody, welcome back to the show. Sean Tierney here from Insights and Automation, and we have a special show for you today. I have Michael here from Wheelan, and we’re gonna talk safety PLCs and all kinds of great stuff. But before we jump into that, you know, I haven’t had Wheeling on the show before. So, Michael, I’m hoping you can give us a well, not only introduce yourself. I got to meet him this morning before we started recording. But, if you could introduce yourself and then maybe tell us a little bit about your company, and then we can jump into why we’re here to talk about these good looking products. So let me turn it over to you. Michael Warren (Wieland): Okay. Great. Well, thank you, Sean. Thank you for having me. I appreciate that. And, yeah, my name is Mike Warren. I’m a business development manager for, Whelan Electric, North America. I’ve been, with Whelan a couple years now, but, I got over twenty years of experience in the industry. I have a couple of TUV certifications under my belt. I have a TUV functional safety engineer and also TUV certified functional safety expert. In addition to that, I do consulting for safety applications. I teach safety classes. I also teach the CFSE class. And, I do things like, review machine safeguarding, standards, CE marking, risk assessments, remediations, lockout tagout, basically everything that, is involved in in the safety world. These are some of the classes that I cover. So, what we’re doing today, Sean, is to talk about, our product. Okay? The the Samuels Pro Compact. And the Samuels Pro Compact is a safety PLC. It’s known, by various names, safety controller, brick PLC, whatnot. But it is a compact, as the name implies, safety controller. And in a safety chain, it really is, the keystone to a safety, system. There’s always, an input device. Okay. We follow the ILO system. Okay. I for input devices. L for logic, in this case, the Samuels Pro Compact. And an output devices could be contactors, which I have here, in the demo itself. Okay. It could be a, OSSD, inputs from a VFD or robots. Okay? So those qualify as output devices. But the input device is for detection. The large device makes a decision, and the output device executes. And the primary purpose of an output device is to remove energy in an emergency or a, an intrusion, situation. So let’s take a look at the product itself. Okay? The Samuels Pro Compact, again, is occupying this spot right here, in the demo itself. It’s 45 millimeters. Okay? Very compact. The base system is set up with 20 inputs. Okay? 20 devices. Okay. 20 inputs, it would be, 10 safety devices. Safety device is always redundant. There’s two points per safety device. So that device is already set up for 10. There’s four safety outputs on it. And the version that I have here in the demo is actually an upgraded version including motion. So not only will it, set up and accept the inputs from some of these safety devices that I have here, for example, like light curtains, I have door switches, I have an e stop, I also have an analog position switch right there that’ll detect the input. Other than those devices, I also have a safety encoder attached to one of the axes, in the demo to do motion detection. Not only are we detecting people, but we’re also detecting shaft movements, okay, with the encoder itself. Shawn Tierney (Host): And that’s optional. So there’s two models, one with motion and one without. Michael Warren (Wieland): That’s absolutely right. Alright. And I wanna point out that the software is free. It can be downloaded easily. It can throw it on your laptop. And the nice thing about it, and we’ll get to the software. We’re gonna show a little bit about it, that you can use the software without any hardware attached to it yet. Okay? You could literally can build your safety system in the virtual sense, test it out, check to see if it’s, working properly. And, again, when we dive into the software, you’ll see a little bit, the nice, additional features you get. Things like a schematic and a report, and also show you the modules that are actually part of the system itself. Okay? Now, we talked about, the communications on this too. Okay? We have three onboard communication, protocols. Okay? Onboard, we can, work with PROFINET, Ethernet IP, and Modbus TCP. Shawn Tierney (Host): Oh, nice. Michael Warren (Wieland): There are additional gateways that you can get to add additional, cons. Okay? That includes CAN open, PROFIBUS, and EtherCAT. So, again, we have a nice way of communicating with other protocols, and let’s face it, other manufacturers. And in the safety world, the manufacturer’s controllers, the actual, automation controllers are not to dictate to the safety system when to remove energy or not. It’s the other way around. The safety always has a a precedence and a priority over the controls. Its purpose with these communication gateways is to inform the control systems of what’s going on in the safety. Shawn Tierney (Host): Yeah. I mean, most of the time, your your master PLC is gonna already have an HMI or SCADA system. Correct. So they’re gonna wanna display that information. So if you have those especially the the three you have built in, I’ll be able to probably the biggest three Yep. You know, according to all the surveys and industry reports and whatnot. Having those built in means I mean, you cover most PLCs standard PLCs. You’re gonna be able to give the data to them. They’re gonna be able to know in their program. They’re They’re gonna be able to let their operators know using the existing equipment. So very cool. Michael Warren (Wieland): Yep. And in this world, we, fully understand that, it’s a it’s a mix and match. Okay? Okay. Rare do we find customers that are using a single brand for everything. You and it’s necessary that, you know, one brand of light curtains works with the controller and another brand of door switch and whatnot. They’re all kinda compatible. And the communications, though, is very, very important, because, again, they’re not, operating, independently and in a silo. Shawn Tierney (Host): So if I understand that correctly, so we’re seeing your products, Ian. I really don’t know much about your company and what products they make, but I can see you make a lot of products here. So you’re saying that you don’t just work with the Whelan products, you work with other people’s safety products as well. Absolutely. Third party light curtain or third party contactor or safety contactor or third parties, safety push button. Michael Warren (Wieland): Absolutely. Okay. Whelan, itself is a, it’s a German company. Okay? Okay? They’re famous for their terminal blocks. Okay? So really we put them on the map, you know, many, many years ago. But, there’s two pillars for the company right now. One is safety products, and the other is distributed power. And, again, this is an important product for it. This is really our keystone and our leading product, as a logic device in a safety system. So a lot of time and energy and development has been put into this, to make it, a world class and, leading with all the features, like you said, including communications. Shawn Tierney (Host): Well, I think too the fact that the audience can go out there and grab a copy of the software and actually simulate their system, that gives them a you know, because maybe they maybe they’re like me. Maybe they haven’t used your system before. So they can actually build a system, put it together, test it in the simulator without spending a dime. They’ll be like and, hey. They go to the boss and say, hey. I got a proof of concept here. Let’s let’s call Mike and say, we can’t come to call out and and show us more. Michael Warren (Wieland): Yep. No. No. As a please call. By the way, I appreciate that. No. Like I say, it is a, a wonderful benefit. It helps people try to determine because, let’s face it. Not everybody knows and understands safety unless you do this, day in and day out. Yeah. You’re not up with the latest standards. You don’t understand simple things like an e stop here requires a, a contrasting yellow background to it. Something as simple as that. And, again, the, the the software itself is smart enough where you put these devices together, and if you configure it wrong, it bounces you out. And the reason that it bounces you out or says that you can’t, you’re not permitted to do that particular because it’s always traceable back to standards. Okay? So the standards are embedded in the configuration, and the algorithms that allow you to drag and drop and put particular devices together are based on, on the standards themselves. Okay. So the controller itself, in a safety system, is of the highest rating. Okay? In the PL system, it’s PLE. Okay? That’s, that’s that is the highest, that you can, arrive to in in the PL system. It’s PLE, SIL three, or CAT four. Okay? They’re all being used in in today’s industry. People, communicate, about safety either in cats or seals or PLs. But the latest and greatest, in, going forward really is the, the the performance level, PLE. That’s the highest level. But, again, it follows basic, safety fundamentals that if you attach, devices, in a chain, a safety chain, and you have PLE, PLE, PLE, and you have one device, that’s PLD or PLC, for example, a little lower than the whole system always reverts down to the lowest in the chain. It’s the weakest link basically. The weakest link. Yeah. Okay. So, again, you’re starting out with a a PLE safety controller, and now the weakest link is not the controller. It tends to be something else. Good. Okay? I mentioned also that, the motion control. Okay? And it has a a safe motion, embedded in the software, and we’re gonna take a peek at these a little bit. Six different TUV function blocks. Okay? Certified function blocks. Okay? They are, a safe standstill motion. Okay? Or or basically a zero RPM, determination. Okay? And all of these function blocks in the motion world are designed to detect shaft motion, shaft speed, shaft position, okay, and shaft direction. All the rest of the safety devices we have on here are for human detection. Okay? Hands, like light curtains, hands going in, door switches, gates opening, things like that. To your point, Sean, that, yeah, you say, you know, we have compatibility with lots of other brands and lots of other products. We don’t have all the safety products that are available here in front of us. For example, safety mats. Okay? Okay. Safety mats can be fed into this. Okay? It’s just another input device. Mhmm. Okay? Safety scanners can be fed into this. Okay? The form factor of a safety scanner is a little different than light curtains. Okay? But it’s basic same principle. Okay? Rope pulley stops. Okay? Two hand controls. All of these different devices are available in the library. Okay? And, again, we’re gonna show the software here in a little bit, and you can configure it, as you please with whatever brand, you’d like to use. And, again, some people are are stuck on certain technologies. For example, safety mats are kinda older technology. Mhmm. But they’re still viable and a viable solution in a lot of applications, and we see them all the time. So, obviously, the safety controller, will take those, as a, a viable input. Shawn Tierney (Host): Yeah. A lot of times I’ve seen that the choice there is really I mean, I think most people wanna do the light curtains, but I think the mats, the rope pulls, the the scanners, I mean, they all address applications where the light curtain just doesn’t isn’t the best fit. So it really comes back, and you tell me if I’m wrong, but it seems the the choice there, a lot of times, comes back to, not always. I mean, there’s preferences. They want they all work. Right? Yep. But the scanners usually being the most expensive in my experience. But, yeah, a lot of Michael Warren (Wieland): it there’s there’s some applications you just have to have the rope pull. You something else won’t work. Yep. No. You’re absolutely right. The application typically drives the choice of devices. And, one of the things that, I go through when I do safety, machine safeguarding classes is this should always be be based on risk assessments. Yeah. Really looking at it, holistically, the whole system, the usage, the severity of the potential injuries, the frequency, the chances of these injuries type of happen. And, again, we put the best recommendations going forward, based on when we see applications. But it is by application by application. Rarely do we see, two that are exactly the same. Shawn Tierney (Host): Yeah. And the risk assessment, I mean, if you’re an expert, you have the training he has, you you maybe you can do your own. But a a lot of us don’t have that training. And so to pick the right products, you gotta know what the risks are. And you don’t wanna spend thousands and thousands of dollars on something and then find out, oh, like, the biggest risk you didn’t address because it just didn’t come to mind. So the risk assessment by an expert is so huge in these type of applications. Again, some of the people, maybe they went to your training, maybe they got certified, and they can do their own. But, that’s usually a big part of a part of a project. Michael Warren (Wieland): It is. It is. And, it’s important, again, to have at least, you know, some background. Okay? It isn’t really an arbitrary, choice of devices. It’s usually a thoughtful process thinking of the input devices and the risks to people and, considering the the, the collaboration of people and machinery together. This is where we have to try to protect, humans near the equipment. Shawn Tierney (Host): Yeah. Absolutely. And it’s gone on the days from a 100 years ago where, you can take those risks. I know a lot of people still do, but, you know, every time somebody gets hurt and there’s a new light current going up or a new god going on something, the go on are the days where a sign says, don’t touch or you may die. That’s not sufficient these days. And a lot of that’s driven by the insurance companies because they don’t wanna have to pay out for people getting all these injuries. Right? And I think we all know people who are missing hands and thumbs and and and body parts because they got they got stuck in a machine. So, I think this is a good trend. And these products, I I I think when you guys see the software, they’re super easy to use as well, so it makes a lot of sense. Michael Warren (Wieland): Yep. And let’s not forget, you mentioned insurance companies, but let’s not forget government oversight. Okay? OTA Yeah. True. Is, here in The United States is, really the watchdog for safety. And, not only are there, costs involved with machine downtime and injuries and insurance payouts, but let’s not forget, fines, levied by, OSHA. Okay? And, once you, unfortunately, once you get into, OSHA’s radar, they keep they can’t they tend to keep an eye on you. And, you don’t again, it’s it’s this kind of scrutiny you really don’t want. Poor publicity, downtime, and, again, that’s reputation. I mean, at some point, it boils down to company reputation. Okay? But, speaking of software, why don’t we take a peek at the software here, and let me show you a couple of details about it. Okay? This is the basic work screen right here. I have the software, called up. Again, it was a free download. I downloaded it online. And, again, I wanna create a basic system. Okay? I’m not gonna replicate this whole system here. There’s a lot of devices here and there could be conditions where I have multiple safety zones, which is something that you could put in the software. But I’m just gonna do a very basic configuration. I I call it the five minutes to safety setup. And what’s the simplest safety device to wire up and set up here? It’s the lonely estop. Okay? What we’re going to do is we’re gonna take an estop, put it into our, our our workspace here, and wire it up, run it, make sure it operates properly. I have the proper, wiring, I have proper configuration, and then we’ll see how the software guides us to, that completion. Okay? So, Sean, we’re gonna grab a device here. Okay? I’m gonna go ahead and grab an e stop. And you’ll notice here, I have a choice either a single channel or a dual channel. We always wanna pick dual channel. Safety is always redundant to contacts per. Okay? So I grab that. Okay? Now as part of a safety system, once I, initiate an emergency stop, I have to be able to reset it. Okay? That’s an important part of the actuation of the, of the estop. So what I’m gonna do is I’m gonna grab a reset button. Okay? Right out of the library. Now pop it right over here. Now the next thing I wanna do is I have to have the actual contact, the initial initiation of a switch itself. Okay? So I’m going to come over here to the switch, and I’m going to grab a dual channel switch. Just drag it over here. Okay? So I have my emergency stop. I have my reset, and then I have the actual switch, the initiation switch of the system. And what’s missing? My output device. Right? So I’m gonna come over here, and I’m gonna just grab some contactors. Okay? Quite similar to what I have in the demo itself. And again, dual channel. I’m gonna grab that guy right there. Okay? So input device, logic device is the Samuels, controller here, and also the software called Samuels plan is right in front of us. Now we connect. I’m connecting here to there. I connect here to here, and then I connect the output to the contactors. Okay? Boom. I’m all set up. That’s it. Now why don’t we run and initiate, a safety function here? Let’s test it out. That’s how you’re gonna really know now. Right? I turn the simulation on. The background goes green. So I’m in a simulated mode. I’m in a virtual system right now. And as you can see, I have no hardware set up. I’m just using the software and the tools in the software itself. Okay? I’m gonna start the safety. Okay? Start the simulation. You can see the counter go up. This is the the time, okay, that I’m run actually running the, the simulation, and I have to turn things on. Right? I have to initiate them. Okay? I turn that on. You’ll notice here I have this flashing display, display reset request. I turn that one on, and then I actually do a reset. It’s as though I just set up an estop, and I say, okay. Let’s initiate it. Let’s get it started. Okay? Now I want you to notice the lines. Right? From my estop to the reset to the contactors are all green. That means I’m up and live, and I have a living, breathing safety system right now. So how do I know if it’s working properly? Well, let’s just trip the estop. It would be as simple as hitting the mushroom here and depressing it down. Since we’re virtual here, I’m gonna hit the estop right here. My green lines disappear. Okay? I’ve effectively executed a safety function. I, pushed the estop here, and I lost my connection to my contactor. I now have removed energy from that contactor. Okay? But and now if I wanna go through a a reset, sequence, go back on, you’ll see the flashing light. I turn that on, turn that on, and now I have my system back up again. Okay? Very easy. And, again, I I tell people that, this isn’t really a a programming system. This is really a configuration, and you’re just dragging and dropping. Now let’s take a look at some of the other tools that we have here. I’m just gonna pause the simulation for a second here. Okay. Once I actually do this and I know I have a living, breathing, simulation system. Okay? I shut off the simulation for a second and let’s see what the software has shown us or what done for us. Okay? Number one, the module. It actually shows us the module that it’s selected to accomplish the function that we wanted to do. Okay? This particular model, okay, the non motion one, you you mentioned that before. This is a non motion because all we’re doing is an e stop detection here. And if you take a look, you’ll see some very interesting points. Okay? Notice you’re gonna see an e stop symbol right here on I one and I two. It automatically selected, I one and I two to do that connection. The switch, the reset switch itself, I three and I four, and on the output side, I have q 1 and q two. They’re my contactors. It actually shows up right on here. Okay? And, as you can see on the demo itself, we have flash we have lights that are on. We have a communication light on the Ethernet IP port that’s flashing. These would be, your indicators on here telling you the condition whether you have good communications, you have good connections, or in in the event that you have a safety trip. Okay? Some of these indicators will go red. And that’s how your your first visual when you approach a, controller like this and you see that you have a safety trip, you would have the red indication on here. Okay? So that’s the module that that came up automatically in the software. Next is the report. Okay? It’s gonna generate a report on our configuration. Okay? And it’s nice because there’s a lot in the report itself. If we scroll down, we end up with a CRC control number. This is actually a time date stamp that identifies the unique configuration of the, project that we just created here based on the time date, and it’s unique. Okay? And when you go ahead and build a big system and you get a machine commissioned, okay, the CRC number is important to identify the material condition and the safety, the report that is generated, the safety level, and it’ll be identified here in the report itself. Okay? Okay. List of materials. Okay. We have, not only a bill of materials. Okay. Scroll down. There’s our controller again. That is in the report. Again, it’s a replication of what we saw in the software. There’s a bill of materials, the actual devices that are part of the safety system here. Okay. And we scroll down a little bit more. If we ran some diagnostics and more elaborate systems, we can run diagnostics and collect that information and actually have it show up here in the report. Okay? General information, things like CPU cycle time, for example, CPU usage. Okay? Isn’t identified here. Now we go down a little bit further and this is a really really cool part of the system that I like is actually the wiring diagram. We get calls all the time. Hey, how do you wire this? They say, you know, what do I connect? And I said, well, you know, it’s a input device, log device, output device. Yeah. But how do you connect it? When you set it up in the software here and you do the drag and drop like you see and run the report, you get an automatic wiring diagram. That’s all. So you don’t have to, you know, break out a pen and paper and draw up your wiring diagram. It’s already in here. And you can export this and put it into your master, wiring diagram. Okay? So those are on the inputs. Right? Okay? It’s my test policies. Okay? It shows my mercy stop and then also my reset switch. And on the output, I show my contactors. Okay? So, again, as you go through the whole report, it shows all the details or anything we configured. Again, we did something very simple. Just wired up an e stop to, actuate, a safety function, and we had the contactors to actually do something. The logic device makes a decision, and the contactors actually remove the energy. Okay? Now if we had additional things like, IO. Okay? This does have the ability to, have expanded IO. Again, we mentioned there were 20 IO points, resident, on the, controller itself. But if you needed more than 20, okay, we have additional safety inputs. We have additional safety outputs. We you also can attach through the backplane on the DIN rail itself, non safety IO. Okay? Things like the lights that are on here. Okay? Those aren’t really safety functions, but we do need IO points to actually run those. Shawn Tierney (Host): Is that what the gray module is? Michael Warren (Wieland): That’s exactly what that is. Safety. Yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely. Good call. And again, it’s, there’s not a really a standard that says that that they shall be yellow, but it’s kind of an industry convention. Yeah. Okay? There’s a difference between a standard convention and, yellow kinda calls out as a safety device and non yellow, for example, would be a, non safety, and that is a non safety function. So again, we have, additional, IO not only for, the safety but non safety. And, again, people tend to think that, the safety itself, can’t do a standard, operations and standard logic. But, I might point out here in the function blocks themselves. Okay? We actually have capabilities like that. Okay? In the software itself, okay, you take a peek here. These are just standard logic symbols. Right? Okay. I have a not, and, or. I mean, I can do a lot of features on here and really create elaborate safety systems. Mhmm. And again, a safety controller can do some non safety functions. It’s you just can’t go the other way around. A a non safety controller cannot be, utilized, for safety. Okay? But that’s all built into the software right there. And again, if we had additional if we wanted EtherCAT, for example. Okay? EtherCAT was not resident on here. We would add a separate, comm gateway, to that system right there, and it would show up in our report here. Additional gateways, extension modules, and any sort of logic that we had associated with the system itself. But, again, this report just gets printed up automatically. It shows, basically what we saw in the software that’s resident in here too. If you have to go back and make modifications, you’re obviously going to change the CRC number because every time you change configuration, you get a new configuration code. But, you do get a chance to basically see, and it’s a copy of, whatever that you had configured there in the report. So you have the report, you have the modules, and then you have your workspace. And, again, all of this was done virtually. All we had was, the free software downloaded, and we ran it, to run, the system for us. Shawn Tierney (Host): I should’ve asked you before you close the report. Do you get a bill of materials, like, the actual part numbers you need to order? Michael Warren (Wieland): Yes. Yes. Absolutely. I’m glad you asked that. Okay. Run the report. Open it up again. And our bill of material, Shawn Tierney (Host): let’s It’s usually a pretty big one too because, you know, you you’re not gonna be an expert like they are on their products or use any data tool to help you select which products you need, especially since you just went through and configured it all. And so there it is. There’s your bill of material. Michael Warren (Wieland): That’s the bill of material there. Okay? We have the controller itself. The card is, an SD card. Okay. Good point. We should mention this now. Yep. The, the SD card itself, okay, is, specially configured to work with the, this it’s not entirely big. It’s only a 512, megabyte, but it is required and this is where all of the, safety programs are actually resident. The nice thing about that is if you’ve had if you have multiple safety controllers in your facility and you have your recipes, resident on the card here, you literally can take this out and pollinate, literally go to each controller, install it, and then load up and have have safety programs. So you go from one controller to the other to the other, but the recipes are resident on the card itself. Shawn Tierney (Host): So what how about duplicating the program? If I if I’m an OEM and I have a bunch of machines. Right? And I just wanna duplicate the program. Can I use the card to do that as well from machine to machine to machine? Michael Warren (Wieland): Absolutely. You could do it card to card or if you did, you know, use your laptop. Okay? And you have the program on there. Shawn Tierney (Host): Okay. You save right to the card? You save it to the card. Yep. Okay. Without having the controller here, you can save right to the card. Michael Warren (Wieland): Save right to the card. Shawn Tierney (Host): Oh, that’s a nice feature. Yep. Some people can’t do that. Yep. I won’t mention any names. Michael Warren (Wieland): So yeah. Like I say, the good news is, it does save to the card. The bad news is you have to have the card, as part of it. Shawn Tierney (Host): It needs to be the company. It needs to be a wheeling card that’s matched for that device. Exactly. The special call it out. Michael Warren (Wieland): Yep. To close it out. And then again, the the rest of, the the bill materials is we have the e stop, the dual channel closer. That’s that’s just the software’s name for the reset switch and a set of contactors inside. But that is, to answer your question, that is the, the bill material there. Did you have any questions? Well, you know, he gave me some Shawn Tierney (Host): of the most popular good. I have not well, I purposely as you guys know, I purposely don’t look at the companies the first time I see them because I wanna try to have a natural reaction like you will the first time you’re watching this episode. Yeah. So, in any case, Mike was kind enough to give me some of the questions that come in. So how about number one? Alright. So I’m gonna read number one here. What makes the Samos I’m sorry. What makes the Samos Pro Compact ideal for space constraint applications? Michael Warren (Wieland): That’s a great question. And, we touched upon this and it has to do with the actual size of it. Okay? As I mentioned, it only occupies, 45 millimeters, on a DIN rail. Okay? Great. And, itself is set up with 20 input points, meaning it’s 10 safety devices. And let’s say I had discrete relays. Discrete relays typically take up 22 and a half millimeters a piece on the DIN rail space. 22 and a half millimeters times 10 devices, okay, would be occupy the whole DIN rail here. Okay? For 10 devices using discrete relays. The beauty and the benefit of having a say a compact like this, it only occupies 45 millimeters. Okay? So you have all this additional space for either expansion modules or other products. For example, the controls themselves. Yeah. K. No one says you have to run the controls, okay, or for safety in a separate cabin. They oftentimes share the same space in in the cabin. Cabinet space is valuable. Very real estate is very valuable. So again, it only occupies 45 millimeters. It saves an awful lot of space, holds a lot of devices just by itself. So, there’s an advantage right there. It makes a quick and easy configuration. Shawn Tierney (Host): Now you talked about something. I always thought this was a little odd. So you have an existing PLC, and then the the word comes in that whatever equipment you’re adding to the line or maybe it’s been reconfigured and you need to add a safety PLC. A lot of times, companies will not they’re like, we’re not gonna mess with the part that works. We’re gonna add in a separate safety PLC. And I think that’s unintuitive for people who you know, if you’re designing a brand new system, you’re gonna wanna design and get to buy a POC that’s a standard POC and a safety POC all in one. But I don’t think that’s that’s the opera. Do can you just share some of your thoughts on applications that you’ve seen over the years where they had an existing control system, but they needed to add a safety POC? And and that’s why they chose your product because it had to be totally separate from the existing system. Michael Warren (Wieland): Exactly. Exactly. You know, it’s it’s often nice to work on projects where you’re in the design, the front end. Okay? And you can have it all integrated and it all works quite nice. Yeah. Whatever you want. But, the the reality is that, you know, we’re called upon to add safety to a lot of older legacy systems. And, the concept that we always adhere to is really it’s a safety layer. Okay? And I really try in my classes, I try to separate control circuits from safety circuits. I call the control circuit the black circuits, and I call the safety circuits the red circuits. And the red circuits always have priority. Okay? And they have overreach, let’s say, of the black circuits to remove energy in an emergency situation. I mean, that’s what we’re that’s what we’re here to do. Right? We’re here the logic device is here to make a decision on an input. It could be either a detection of a hand or door opening or whatnot, or in the case of motion, an encoder signal. Okay? Identifying, over speed, going the wrong direction, has not reached a zero RPM state. Okay? That’s a a dangerous situation and it won’t open a door. It won’t unlock something until it achieves that state. So, to your question, we do a lot of applications where we have to put safety on as an afterthought. Yeah. Okay? And we work again with the controls, but we never integrate the safety directly. It always has a priority over it. And the idea is that the safety system will remove energy Yeah. From, whatever source. And when I say energy, it doesn’t have to be just electricity. Right? There could be kinetic energy. Mhmm. Okay? There could be Okay? There could be hydraulic energy. Okay? Their fluid power safety is just as important as electrical power safety. Okay? Quite honestly. Yeah. So those have a priority. It removes that energy, from the source, and then it turns around and it forms the control circuits. Okay? And this again, it’s it’s a little more painful and a little more complicated sometimes to add it onto a legacy equipment, but, it does get added, all the time. Shawn Tierney (Host): Yeah. And, you know, I know a lot of the vendors these days are only supporting the last, maybe, the six or seven years of software. If you have a multimillion dollar system that’s full of racks and racks of standard controls, you know, upgrading that, just even upgrading the CPU to get a safety CPU could be that could be more than than this entire project. Yeah. And I think that’s what I’ve seen is, you know, they don’t wanna update the software. They don’t wanna have to buy new laptops. They don’t wanna have to stock new spares. That control system is standalone and works great. And so they’ll whether they go with the same company or a different company or a wheel in, they they’ll add in the safety, the PLC as as a secondary PLC that controls the safety that’s integrated with the safety because that big expensive system, they can’t touch it, and they can’t afford to upgrade it. Just as a standalone, trying to upgrade that would be would be, really overkill. So and that’s what I’ve seen. And you guys tell let us know in the comments what you’ve seen. Now am I way off? You know, let let us know in the comments, and I’d love to hear what your thoughts are. But let me pitch it back to you, Mike, and, after that interruption. Sorry. No problem. Any other questions by chance? Hey. I have another, often asked question. How does Samos Pro Compact reduce programming and commissioning time? Ah. Michael Warren (Wieland): How does it do that? Well, let’s start off with everybody’s favorite word. It’s free. The software is free. Okay? Truly. Easy to download and, as we just, showed us, easy to configure. And, quite honestly, the complaints for a a lot of system, setups and a lot of software packages is the complexity of using it. And, slowly but surely, software is evolving to the point where it’s very graphical and it’s all drag and drop. Okay? Yeah. And as you saw on the library, all the ingredients are there. Okay? And even if you select the wrong thing and you try to you drag and drop, you know, the output of one thing into the input of another thing, and if it bounces and it won’t accept it, you know you’re violating or you’re not setting it up properly. So slowly but surely, it’ll explain to you. And what you can do in the software too, if you ever have any questions, I should have mentioned this when we were looking at the software, was you can right click on any of the modules themselves, and it automatically goes to a help screen and you get all the details on that device. And if there are variables, if there are variables available to change the features on that. For example, like a a an or device. Okay? Or an and gate. Okay? You can pull it up, drag it into the screen and say, well, it’ll default to, to two. And it said, well, I need, I need three. I have three. Okay? I need this and this and this. Okay? You right click and you have a variable and a drop down and you can add another input to that. Shawn Tierney (Host): Oh, that’s cool. Okay. I love how you’ve combined the configurator with the programmer. Yeah. So now it’s all in one. So you get your bill of materials. You also get to test the program. You get the simulator built in. Very cool. Michael Warren (Wieland): That’s right. And to, cut down on commissioning time, again, a lot of this work can be done prior to actually receiving. So you have a concept, a safety concept. You do a risk assessment. You say, okay. I need the following input devices. I need this logic device. I’m gonna attach to these output devices. And there’s time for that to come in. Okay? And you don’t have to wait for those to come in. Okay? You can actually get the software, start putting all those pieces together and setting up the system prior to the, hardware actually arriving. So, your commissioning time, you don’t start your commissioning time when the hardware shows up. You’re literally done before the hardware is done. It it comes in. That’s awesome. Yep. Yep. Any other questions, Sean? Shawn Tierney (Host): Hey. I got another one right here. How easy is it to connect Samos Pro Compact to existing control systems? I think we know the answer to this one. Go ahead. Michael Warren (Wieland): Gateways. And again, what we don’t have resident, on board, the the Samos Pro Compact itself, we have additional, gateways. Okay? CANopen. We have EtherCAT. That’s quite a popular, gateway protocol these days. We’re able to add just add an additional card to that and have that compatibility. And as you saw on the software, it showed up. Okay? Mhmm. When you add the cards, the card shows up and that protocol shows up. So it’s ready as a, an EtherCAT module, in an EtherCAT based system. Shawn Tierney (Host): So You said that it has PROFINET, ETHANIP, and Modbus TCP built in, which I think is so cool. Yes. I’m such a fan of companies that are doing that. But do you have to do something in the software to tell it which one you’re gonna use? Michael Warren (Wieland): No. You do not. In the software itself, it does especially when you’re using the virtual system, it does a detection, a health detection. Yes. Actually, that’s how it works. And then, again, you can go in and make a a a slight or small adjustments. You can actually get, addresses, through the software itself. So Oh, nice. It’s it’s not again, it’s you’re not, programming, you’re configuring. Shawn Tierney (Host): That’s awesome. Michael Warren (Wieland): It’s it’s a huge time savings, quite honestly. Shawn Tierney (Host): That’s awesome. You want me to go to number four? Michael Warren (Wieland): Sure, please. Shawn Tierney (Host): Let me ask you this. Is it sustainable? I’m sorry. Is it suitable for safety critical applications in demanding environments? Yeah. We haven’t talked about that yet. Michael Warren (Wieland): Yes. The the the device itself, typically has, most electrical devices in the industry typically have, an IP 20, rating themselves. Yeah. So IP 20, it doesn’t keep out, a lot of moisture itself. And quite honestly, these are typically, put in, cabinets, themselves to protect them. Okay? But but, the, the cabinets themselves, can, experience, a lot of temperature variations. Okay? So, these are rated between a minus 25 c to, plus 65 c. Okay? So, again, they are, designed for, harsh, cabinet temperatures, let’s say. Vibration, there are some, values of, it’s, it’s shock resistance. Okay? I had a customer the other day saying that, he was concerned about, the vibration that the cabinet was going to receive in a punch press. Every time the punch press, there was just this huge vibration. And we talked about the, the the shock resistance of the, controller itself and, mounting techniques. I mean, in my job as a safety consultant, as I mentioned, I look at things holistically. I talk about things that again, things like a shock mounting. Okay? We have the safety light curtains mounted here. At the moment, I have some standard, t fittings, okay, on the brackets, your standard ones. But if I was in a shock environment, I would, you know, talk with the customer and I would say, you know what? Based on what I’m seeing here, these obviously will handle a certain amount of shock by themselves. There’s no moving parts. Okay? So it does withstand a certain amount of shock, but, light curtains are notorious for being going out of alignment. And over a long distance, if one, the the transmitter, is, poorly aligned with the receiver, okay, and there’s some shock, then they’re gonna lose alignment with those vibrations and you’re gonna have nuisance stress. Nuisance tripping it. In that situation, I would tell people, I says, look, we have isolation dampeners. Okay? And a little rubber, grommets that you can actually put between the hardware and give a little bit of, a shock resistance to the light curtain themselves to help maintain. These are the kind of, little, advice, nuggets that we, deliver when we talk about a system, a holistically system, because we understand. Like you said, you know, some of these environments are pretty harsh and demanding. And the controller, as we mentioned earlier too, is a PLE. So the controller itself will never be, you know, the, the weak link in a safety system. There are some other devices. For example, in the motion, world, when we use a, a Samus motion and we use, the TUV function blocks for motion themselves. In addition to those is a vibration toolbox in the software itself. Okay? And that helps fine tune and take out nuisance vibrations that you’re trying to detect pulses from an encoder. You’re not trying to detect, other vibrations. Okay? Now the good news is that you can invoke these things in harsh harsh environments. Okay? You will knock down okay? According to the standards, you do knock down your PLE to PLD. Okay. But PLD is quite, is still is quite impressive and and robust. And again, the controller tends not to be the weakest link in a safety system. But great question. Shawn Tierney (Host): Yeah. I’m just seeing something else here too. What is the four amps for? Is that each output’s four amps or Michael Warren (Wieland): No. It’s the high switching power. That way you don’t have to use actuators. Okay? You’re able to have that. So, again, they they tend to be, kind of a high power on the output side of things, and it reduces the need for additional relays or any any sort of additional devices, for that. Shawn Tierney (Host): Yeah. How about question number five? You ready for that one? Sure thing. Encoder types. Does it have to be a Wheatland encoder? Michael Warren (Wieland): I get that all the time. Actually, no. Okay? It’s just looking for a standard HTL incremental encoder, and, it and in in fact, the people are using, non safety encoders too. Okay? There are safety rated encoders and non safety rated encoders and they can use it. The good news is you can use a non safety encoder with it. The bad news is it does degrade the PL level. Okay? You can get a PL level, e by using, safety rated encoders. Again, redundant. You can do two tracks. You do four tracks. However you need. And again, I I gave the example about, shaft, shearing and trying to detect whether or not you have a broken shaft. We mount an encoder on both ends and match and, tune up those two signals together. Because soon as you have a deviation, you know you have a shaft breakage. I think we were pretty successful in showing not only, the fact that it’s it saves a lot of space on the DIN rail for the number of devices it’s able to manage. Okay? It, the input devices, again, can be varied. Some of them are here, some of them are not here. But, a lot of typical devices, that get applied. And again, it’s not brand specific. Okay? It’s quite agnostic. Okay? Most of the safety devices in the industry work with our controller. As I mentioned, the the Wieland Safety Controller is our own product. Okay? So it’s our own design hardware and both software. So when we have upgrades and development, again, the upgrades are free. Okay? We we send out, and anytime the software gets over, there’s a point release, whatnot. Those are free. Okay? And, we know a lot of people in the industry, charge, for software. There’s licensing fees and whatnot, and, that never happens, with, the wheel and controller products. Shawn Tierney (Host): Yeah. You know, could you wake up the HMI? It it looked like the screen was very well designed. Would you mind tapping the HMI? Yeah. So the HMI is good. So let’s talk a little bit about, like, aside from this, what are the products do you make? I mean, you make a safety POC. It looks like you also make an HMI. Michael Warren (Wieland): Yes. Yes. I’m glad you asked that. By the way, some of the, non safety type products, are actually on here. As you mentioned, the HMI itself. Okay? It’s a touchscreen, and, we have various sizes on it. And what you’re seeing here on this demo is a representation of a CNC machine. Okay. K? It gives a little bit of a story behind the devices that go into this. So for example, I turn it on. I’m running it. Okay. Okay. You hear my CNC running? Yeah. Oh, yeah. There we go. Very robust CNC. Now I go to open one of the doors. Okay? Okay. Not only will it stop the motion, but it’ll also show me on the HMI which particular door I opened up. Okay. Did you see that? Yeah. Yeah. That moved. Okay. And back with that. Shawn Tierney (Host): You see HMI updating as well? Michael Warren (Wieland): That’s right. So the up, the HMI updates itself and again, it continues to tell the situation. And that’s what’s nice about sending the output of this, over this, Ethernet, port here, to the HMI itself that when you have a trip. Okay? Look, I have several safety devices here. I have light curtains. I have three door switches here. I have, a an analog, position switch, a distance switch here. I also have an e stop here. Various devices. If I have a trip, okay, and if this was a real machine in a facility, I’d have a light stack and I’d have a light flashing. You would come up to the machine saying, which device tripped? I don’t know. You can look at the HMI and either have a graphical display of the machine itself or a table. Okay? It would show all the devices and it would have an indicator of which one it is. So you’d come to the machine, you say, oh, I see what it was. It was that door switch. I close the door and then I have to reset it. Okay? A safety system requires a manual reset. You just don’t close the door, the machine starts up automatically like that. Okay? And then I did a reset, and then I also did a machine start. And now And my CNC is back up and running. Shawn Tierney (Host): That’s excellent. That is excellent. So you’re more than just safety PLCs. Michael Warren (Wieland): That’s right. No. We do the safety PLCs. We do the light curtains. We do all these door switches. We have three grades of door switches here. The simplest technology is standard key, door interlock. Okay? Yep. And a standard, fork, key interlock. The switch goes on the frame. The key goes on the door. Open the door, key comes out and it indicates to the system that there’s an intrusion. Now in addition to that, those are contact switches. Okay? We have this version here. We have a secondary version that’s a little bit bigger that has a solver in it, and there’s a locking, guard locking. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. K? Therefore, if I have an application where I want to go into the cell, but the cell presents a hazard and the hazard has to either cool off or there has to be a a coast down period, say 60 or whatnot, A timer is used inside the controller and once sixty seconds elapse, it sends a signal of the solenoid to release the door lock and allow you to go into the cell. Okay? Keep it. And then there’s other applications where non contact is preferred. And we have two versions of non contact here. Okay? One is a coated magnetic. Okay? There are several codes available, and so you can’t take another, magnet and fake it out. Shawn Tierney (Host): Big thing. Right? It has to be coded. Yeah. Michael Warren (Wieland): Bypassing. Yeah. Bad bad word in the safety world. I get calls. People say, hey. I have door interlocks. I keep finding the keys in there, but they’re not attached to the, to the door anymore. And I said, okay. And we can improve the robustness of the safety system by switching out keyed interlocks to a coated magnetic switch. And these coated magnetic switches do not work with refrigerator magnets. Okay? It takes a coated actuator to actually close this. But, people that have a lot of these can find another matching actuator and fake these out. And we’ll get a call. Mike, I’m getting my magnetic switches being bypassed. What can we do? The next level of technology up is RFID. Oh. Okay? RFID is high coded. Okay? High coded. And and if you high coded means that you have a thousand or more codes. And if you have a thousand more codes, nobody is gonna find another matching actuator to fake out the switch and try to bypass it. Shawn Tierney (Host): When you buy it, do you get it just random from the shelf or Michael Warren (Wieland): You get it initially random and then there’s a sequence where you, cycle the power to do and change the codes. Oh, okay. So you can actually get multiple codes. Okay? Okay. That and again, so we start out with the basic technology. The next step up is magnetic, and the highest level technology is RFID for door switches. Okay? So, and let me see. Now in addition to all of this, okay, you’re gonna notice that, I have Shawn Tierney (Host): Turn the speed down. So Michael Warren (Wieland): Oh. Oh. I went I went back. Sorry. Reverse the direction. That’s okay. Or we coulda we coulda just, put our hand in the light curtain or whatnot. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. But, in addition to the products, the safety products and the HMIs, we sell power supplies. Okay. Okay. So, yeah, we have our own power supplies. As a matter of fact, I always advocate people that when they have a safety system is to have a dedicated power supply. Yes. They’re not really expensive and for the peace of mind. Okay? And for the robustness and integrity of the safety system is to have a separate power supply running the safety system alone as opposed to sharing it from some other things. Okay? Yeah. You don’t have to worry about spikes in the system. You don’t have to worry about, in rush currents or whatnot. And, again, it’s dedicated and it won’t interfere with the functions of the safety because let’s face it, you’re trying to maintain, say PLD or PLE safety system. And, the the best thing that you could do is, it make the power supply independent. Okay? It makes the safety system robust and safer. Okay? You always have an eye towards making, the application as safe as possible. Now, in addition to, the HMIs, the power supplies in here, just within the system here, some of the other products that Whelan offers are distributed power systems. Okay? And as I mentioned in the beginning, Whelan is famous for their terminal blocks. Yes. Okay? And again, our catalog is full of, industrial automation, pieces. We really try to a bridge, from device to device in the automation world, all these filler, and detail type products, gateway switches. We have managed and unmanaged switches too, by the way. Okay? Oh, Shawn Tierney (Host): Yes. You have switches as well. Michael Warren (Wieland): We do. We do. I invite you to, take a look at our website, wheelen,uh,-electric,uh,.com. And, it has a lot of good information, and you’ll see the full catalog of information. Today, really, we were just kinda covering, safety, but it’s really the tip of the iceberg of the, Wheeling portfolio. Shawn Tierney (Host): Yeah. And we will conclude not only an end of show slide here so you can see all the important stuff. We’ll also include all these links in the description. So wherever you’re watching, you’ll have links to everything we’re talking about so you don’t have to go and hunt it down and, like, you know, how do I spell wheel end? And all the links are there. We’ll put the slide up on the screen as well so you guys can see all that good information. And, Mike, with that, was there anything else we wanted to cover today? Michael Warren (Wieland): I think we covered it, pretty thoroughly. I wanted to make sure that, I showed you the software because, you know, a lot of manufacturers, create the box and a little the little safety PLC. And, quite honestly, the the magic of the PLC itself isn’t the hardware, isn’t the 45 millimeters resin case itself. It’s the actual software. How easy to use, how comprehensive it is, what information it’ll do for you. Okay? And again, we showed that we have a, workspace, drag and drop, library, pull the devices in. We have motion, we have presses, we have combustion technology, muting. We have a lot of different libraries, function blocks, certified function blocks to drag into the workspace. It creates the report. And, basically, again, it just shows you, the creation of your system short of hardware. Of course, when you hook up your hardware, you do a synchronization. Okay? And now you can make your tweaks. You may find that your virtual system was better than the hardware list that you created, and you may want to upgrade that at some point. Okay? The nice thing about a controller is it’s infinitely repurposable. Okay? You program it one way, one day, and if you add another device, that’s not a problem. That’s easy to go in the software, add another device. Okay? I subtract a device, change out devices, whatnot. It’s easy enough to use. So, yes. Again, the Samos controller, is a leading product for us in the safety, product portfolio for Wieland. And, again, we lead off with, our our software, the Samos plan software. Shawn Tierney (Host): Yeah. And I appreciate it. Just that short demo you did really helps. Like, I feel like I could get in there and start doing stuff. You know, when you open something up for the first time, if you’ve never seen a demo of it, it can be like deer in the headlights type of and I’ve been there many times myself. So thank you for not only talking to us about the hardware, talking to us about your company, but also giving us that software demo as well. And I wanna thank you for coming out and driving all the way out here, three hours to get out here to do an in live. He doesn’t Mike doesn’t know this. He’s the first one to come and do a live. I had to clean up all last night. The place was so messy, but he was actually the first vendor to come out and do a live, and I really enjoyed having him here, medium, and the preshow and, and whatnot.

El pasado 16 de agosto se cumplieron 5 años de la llegada de Luis Abinader al poder y el primero de su segundo mandato presidencial. ¿Qué ha cambiado realmente en la República Dominicana en este tiempo? En este episodio conversamos con Karen Ricardo, miembro del Comité Político del PLD, y con el analista y estratega Raniero Cassoni, quienes analizan los aciertos, errores y desafíos del presidente. ¿Es Abinader el líder del cambio prometido o simplemente más de lo mismo?

En República Dominicana todo lo que hacen los gobiernos obtiene un coro de aplausos inmediatamente. Desde Trujillo para acá se ha creado un círculo de lambones que se dedica a alabar cualquier cosa que se haga. No hay que ser mezquino y restar méritos a las acciones de la administración pública pero tanta belleza es imposible.Ahora ocurre que además de las cosas buenas que aplauden al gobierno se suma las que atribuyen a los posibles candidatos presidenciales de cualquier partido.Es el Síndrome de “Funda” el reformista que andaba con una corte de vocingleros en los actos del gobierno de Balague y cuyo trabajo era gritar ese si es bueno cuando hablaba un funcionario cualquiera.En una ocasión la gente de funda gritó “ese si es malo” y me ocupé de preguntar la razón que fue explicada rápidamente, ese no suelta manteca.Ahora al lambonismo tradicional se ha sumado la cultura del opinionismo sin fundamento. Una cosa es buena o mala porque lo dice fulano o zutana.Hoy, cuando se anuncia la ampliación de los servicios de la linea 1 del Metro de Santo Domingo están los aplausos, más que merecidos sin decir que eso se hace con el dinero de nuestros impuestos y por otro lado gente opinando de andenes y conexiones cual si fueran expertos en locomoción subterranea.El lambonismo de oficio afecta la democracia. Quienes ahora están en la oposición y se beneficiaron del sistema ahora necesitan lambones propios pero eso no es fácil fuera del poder.Cuando el pasado no fue bueno decir que en la próxima será mejor resulta cuesta arriba hasta para los más bergantes. Pasado mañana escucharemos la sentencia de Alexis Médina en el caso pulpo, sea cual sea el veredicto de las juezas será una evaluación de la gestión de DAnilo Medina y el PLD. Los lambones a cargo deberán leer bien ex texto porque es la  matriz de la próxima campaña electoral.

Historicamente, a economia e a política do Japão são marcadas por estabilidade. Desde 1955, o Partido Liberal Democrático governa o país quase que ininterruptamente. Essa previsibilidade, no entanto, tem apresentado sinais de desgaste. Desde a pandemia do coronavírus, um novo padrão de inflação se estabeleceu, e um dos produtos mais afetados foi o arroz. Em maio, um ministro do governo renunciou após fazer piada sobre o preço do produto. O descontentamento com a economia teve efeito nas urnas. No último domingo (20), os japoneses impuseram ao partido do governo uma derrota histórica. Apesar de ter sido o mais votado, o PLD não alcançou as 50 cadeiras da Câmara Alta para manter o controle do parlamento. O maior vencedor do pleito foi um partido jovem, nascido durante a pandemia. O Sanseito saltou de 1 para 15 cadeiras. O líder da sigla é conhecido como “Trump japonês”, justamente por ter um discurso alinhado com o do presidente dos Estados Unidos: pauta anti-imigração e o lema “Japão em primeiro lugar”. Neste episódio, Natuza Nery recebe Mauricio Moura. Professor da Universidade George Washington, nos EUA, Mauricio acompanhou a eleição em Tóquio. Ele explica por que a pressão de Donald Trump para a negociação de tarifas foi decisiva para o resultado da eleição. Na conversa, Mauricio responde também sobre os impactos para os brasileiros que vivem no país. CORREÇÃO: Na introdução do episódio, informamos que o partido japonês Sanseito saltou de uma para 14 cadeiras na Câmara Alta. O correto é: o partido tinha uma e conquistou mais 14 cadeiras, totalizando agora 15.

In this episode of Dollars to Dreams, Tyler Hafford and Hannah Tackett focus on a system that hits close to home for many of their clients—and themselves: the Maine Public Employees Retirement System (MainePERS). Both Penobscot Financial Advisors' offices in Maine regularly help public sector employees like teachers, municipal workers, and state employees navigate this complex retirement system. Tyler and Hannah explore the 2025 updates to the MainePERS, including new COLA increases for state and municipal retirees and a major legislative shift that now allows full receipt of both Social Security and MainePERS benefits. The episode closes with sound advice for those nearing retirement: use benefit estimators, understand the timing of your retirement, and incorporate these updates into a broader financial plan because strategy matters. YOU'LL LEARN: -- 2025 COLA Changes:  How inflation adjustments are applied to state and PLD retirees. -- Dual Benefit Eligibility:  A significant policy shift allowing retirees to claim MainePERS and Social Security without penalty. -- Planning Strategies for Public Employees:  Why timing, benefit estimates, and legislative awareness matter when planning retirement.

La semana pasada, en una sala de espera en un gran centro comercial escuché la conversación de una joven muy bien puesta que contaba que estaba descuidando su negocio porque había entrado a un ministerio como empleada para poder vender un servicio que representaba.A la joven no le preocupaba que se le escuchara. No es una profesional del área en la que entró sino una “emprendedora” que quiere emprender de la mejor manera según la práctica dominicana es el Estado. Trataré de saber si tiene éxito con algún cabo, porque decía que tenía convencido al ministro de que un software usado por el anterior no servía.Deben haber muchos casos como este. Grandes y pequeños. La mayoría de la población no conoce cómo funciona el sistema de compras públicas. Incluso hay gente que cree que las licitaciones las hace la dirección de compras  y contrataciones.Pero quienes hacen negocio sí saben. Saben a qué palo se arriman y saben cómo eludir o tratar de evadir las normas. La entrevista que hizo Nuria Piera a Milton Morrison es una clase de todo lo que se puede hacer y hasta de lo que se hace cuando no se puede lograr el cometido. El caso de Jochi Gómez es una tesis.El presidente se dio cuenta de que el gobierno estaba en un slump y sacó la gran carta de su administración que es la lucha contra la corrupción en la que el ministerio público enfrenta la de antes y la de ahora y en la que la unidad antifraude de la contraloría cuela los macos de su propia administración.No hay que repetir que Abinader llegó al poder en la ola de indignación contra la corrupción desmedida del PLD. No hay que decir que de manera indirecta la población compara los actos del gobierno frente a posibles funcionarios corruptos: Danilo Medina se la puso fácil porque de “donde está la corrupción” que nunca podrá ser olvidado de Medina a las acciones actuales hay un gran trecho.Reconocer la campaña y sobre todo la mirada vigilante de las autoridades ante los casos de corrupción o de posible corrupción y las respuesta cuasi inmediatas del gobierno o del ministerio público es de nobleza.Como un presidente que agota su último período Abinader tiene que enfrentar la cultura política del país y a la gente de su propio partido que no quiere o no puede romper esa cultura política y que va al gobierno a robar.

The last episode video was of me in session. And during the short intro, some incense burning in my kitchen. Watch that here - https://youtu.be/6flySB1lgQUFor the hypnotic journeys like in this episode, I've been having fun making videos to go with these journeys. Simply thinking about making my own videos (instead of using a stock video), has helped me see my home in a new light and angles. Literally! I see new angles to record as the sun and her light come over the mountains in the morning, recording my dogs sleeping on the patio as the palms sway in the breeze, recording a storm as it rolls through the valley east of my home. It's nice to have a reason to capture it all.The back drop for this hypnotic journey is a delightful little corner of plants on my patio as the sunrises. I sped this video up a bit. Inspired by my lady Roxanne as she was lounging on the patio underneath the swaying palms, I set up my camera and sat on my patio too doing some work for this episode. You'll see her little sister walking through as she hunts lizards and guards the premises.

El gobierno está gastando millones de pesos cada día en publicidad. Participación Ciudadana ha verificado el gasto en el primer cuatrimestre del año en 2245 millones de pesos que divididos entre los 120 días le da la suma astronómica suma de 19 millones como promedio diario.Quienes hemos demandado por años el uso correcto del dinero público tendremos que estar contentos porque el año pasado se estableció un récord y en el mismo periodo el gasto en publicidad fue de 3121 millones que dividido por días de colocación lo que significó un pago de 26 millones diariamente de publicidad.El 2024, un año electoral, el gobierno multiplicó por 6 el gasto en publicidad en relación al año anterior cuando el registro fue de 491 millones.Yo fui de las que creí que el gobierno de Abinader asumiría una política de comunicación diferente a la creada en el gobierno de Leonel Fernandez y magnificada en la gestión de Joao Santana en los gobiernos de Danilo Medina.Recuerdo que en una presentación ante diplomáticos dije que Abinader había sido tan crítico del sistema de Bocinas del PLD, que esperaba una relación decente con los medios que evitara la cooptación de los profesionales de la comunicación a través de jugosos contratos de publicidad. Pero una cosa es con guitarra y otra es con violínLo que demuestra el documento de PC es que en la gestión de Abinader no solo ha disminuido sino que se ha multiplicado hasta por seis el gasto en publicidad sin que se conozcan los criterios de asignación.O El gobierno ha creado su propio sistema de bocinas o simplemente adquirió las que el anterior dejó abandonadas.Cómo entender que en un año en que la inversión pública ha caído de forma estrepitosa, lo que ha obligado al Banco Central a tomar medidas para poner el dinero en circulación, el gasto en publicidad sea tan alto. Parece que el gobierno se ha convencido que lo que no puede resolver en la realidad lo puede atender con publicidad.Participación ha pedido la publicación de todos los contratos de publicidad de los tres últimos años, el detalle completo de los montos contratados y los medios beneficiados, objetivos institucionales y criterios técnicos de selección y la justificación de cada contratación conforme a lo establecido en el Decreto 1-24 y el Manual de Procedimientos de Excepción.La población necesita cuentas claras y el gobierno está obligado a aclarar este desmadre.

Hoy es un lunes sin noticias y si la Torita no hubiera borrado todos los post de su cuenta de Instagram donde acababa con media humanidad entre ellas dos ministras y un procurador hoy no habría ni chismes.Yo espero que Guido Gómez Mazara por aguerrido sea constante porque ayer encabezó una rueda de prensa para anunciar un plazo de 30 días a las telefónicas que obliga a las empresas a identificar a todos los usuarios con líneas activas de prepago algo que ya se intentó hace más de 10 años. En un país donde los políticos que dirigen instituciones se mueren por anunciar cosas hay que recordar que en el 2014 se hizo un anuncio similar aunque entonces el plazo que le dieron a las tefónicas fue más largo, de seis meses. En ese tiempo se prohibió la venta de chips en las calles y se prohibió las líneas sin registro.La resolución anunciada ayer es más drástica y busca enfrentar el uso de móviles en el crimen organizado. Los números asustan en el país se reporta una media de 100 robos de móviles por día. La mayoría no se recuperan.La resolución claro está no menciona a centenares de negocios que se dedican al desbloqueo de aparatos que es el paso secundario para la reutilización de un móviles robados.La desconfianza natural a que estamos obligados los periodistas ante la avalancha de notas sin soporte nos coloca en una lucha permanente contra las pachotadas.Ayer, en un encuentro en San Cristobal, Danilo Medina dijo que no le extrañaba el alza de los precios de los combustibles y coronó con una frase que borra los resultados electorales asegurando que el pueblo está loco por el retorno del PLD al poder. Si ustedes observan la foto verán un partido masculino y envejecido que dista mucho de cualquier foto de la calle.El 18 de junio el gobierno anunció un crecimiento de las exportaciones y hoy la data del mismo gobierno analizada por el diario El Día indica que en el caso del tabaco y el cacao en realidad ha habido un decrecimiento de hasta un 20% en el volumen de exportaciones pero que han sido compensadas por los altos precios internacionales de esos rubros.En fin déjenme repetirles que el único dato concreto de la jornada es que la Torita borró todo lo que había dicho.

La reunión de esta tarde entre el presidente y sus tres predecesores no tendrá resultado alguno porque ya sabemos que el titular de palacio convoca a los antiguos inquilinos para informarle de la crisis agravada de Haití. Hay que suponer que el presidente tiene información privilegiada que los comunes desconocemos que deberán sensibilizar a los ex en su postura frente al tema.Pero que tres ex y el actual se junten en más que noticia. Danilo Medina que estaba el ostracismo político no por su salida del poder tras ingentes esfuerzos por quedarse sino por evidenciarse que no era el mago de la política que se decía era vuelve al juego.Medina de quien se dice es responsable único de la selección de los peores candidatos presidenciales que se recuerde ( El penco bajó el PLD de 62 a 37 y Abel los dejó en 10) para un partido mayoritario había estado en una lucha por su propia supervivencia política.Leonel no está mejor, la encuesta de anteayer dice que su tasa de rechazo sigue igualita y que más del 30% de los dominicanos y dominicanas nunca votaría por él. El león de Villa Juana tiene que estar vigilante con su hijo y con un partido hecho para él que no ha podido definir su estructura interna porque aunque todos le reconocen el patriarcado verde, las ambiciones de los demas están latentes.Hipólito no está jubilado porque sabe que su papel es defender el posible espacio de su hija a quien las encuestas no favorecen y que  no logra hacerse del capital político que heredó. Mejía juega con las cartas viradas. Antes de que se conociera que la reunión era simplemente informativa ya había adelantado que propondría un plan de regularización de migrantes  cosa que de inmediato fue rechazada por el mandamás.Danilo Medina ya ganó porque logró sacar la reunión del Palacio Nacional aunque no será en su casa presidencial pero es evidente que forzó el cambio de sede.No hay que esperar nada de la reunión más allá de limar fisuras entre los cuatro y sobre todo reafirmarse como los dueños del poder político.El país sin embargo gana con el entendimiento. La crisis haitiana no tiene visos de solucionarse y República Dominicana tiene que estar preparada para el peor de los escenarios. Esa es la responsabilidad de Luis Abinader en este momento  y habrá que esperar si los demas deciden

Los profesionales del periodismo somos como los padres de adolescentes que amamos decir “te lo dije”. 12 horas antes de la semanal, porque sigo en San José y aquí son las cinco de la mañana les dije cual sería el contenido de la Semanal de ayer donde el elementos destacado por los medios es la convocatoria del presidente a los ex inquilinos de la casa de gobierno al diálogo por el tema migratorio.Cualquier respuesta que den Leonel Fernandez y Danilo Medina le conviene a Abinader y al PRM. Si aceptan se convertirán en peones de la estrategia de comunicación política con miras al fortalecimiento de su partido del presidente y si no aceptan es probable que las huestes que antes le servían y que ahora están con quienes hacen los cheques, los acusen de poco patriotas.El turco le ha corrido por tercera a sus opositores que no han podido construir un discurso y que por demás tienen problemas internos que los mantienen ocupados.Aunque Leonel Fernández habló temprano del diálogo, tendrá que decidir si ir al palacio como visitante o si le sirve café a Abinader en su bunker de Funglode. Esto mientras los fupuses no han podido elegir a un secretario general.Danilo que tiene más que problemas porque el antes poderoso comité político ahora se le ha dividido, tomará la misma decisión en peores condiciones. Hoy el secretario de asuntos jurídicos  dice que su intento de adelantar la selección de un candidato es violatorio de cuantas leyes haya y se supone que hay que atenderlo.Abel intentó hablar desde el Cibao pero lo suyo es un gemido que apenas oyeron algunos medios digitales.En fin, se los dije y se los dije temprano.En nuestro país el PLD nos envolvió 16 años con una receta y el turco ni siquiera le hizo cambios para obtener los mismos resultados.Salon.Elvalle-2018

El Partido de la Liberación Dominicana (PLD) vuelve a enfrentar divisiones internas por su estrategia adelantada para elegir candidato presidencial. En este episodio analizamos por qué la propuesta del Comité Político, que busca replicar el proceso que llevó a Abel Martínez, genera tensión entre los aspirantes y confusión en las bases del partido. Mientras la Fuerza del Pueblo se fortalece con Leonel Fernández y el PRM se alista con el poder en mano, ¿puede el PLD permitirse más improvisaciones? ¿Está el partido rumbo a repetir errores o simplemente no tiene un liderazgo claro?

El presidente Abinader sale hoy hacía Roma donde se juntará con más de 60 jefes de Estado y de gobierno en los funerales del papa Francisco.Viajará 24 horas después de un tour fronterizo en el que puso en su puesto a Amnistía Internacional por el tema del traslado forzoso de  mujeres recién paridas, arengó a los 11 mil soldados dispuestos en la frontera a cumplir con el deber que nunca han podido cumplir y le restó brillo a la marcha de los ultra del que los periódicos siguen diciendo que asistieron decenas.Desde principios de marzo hasta finales de abril en la agenda nacional solo se ha hablado de dos temas. La migración haitiana y la tragedia de Jet Set.Eso aunque no lo crean ha fortalecido al gobierno que lidera los dos temas por causas distintas en lo primero de manera activa y en lo segundo pasiva. Ese manejo ha dejado a la oposición política sin discurso  y me recuerda la época de “aquí no hay oposición” aunque ahora la frase no le guste a quienes le gustaba enantes. Tanto la fupu como el PLD macujean tratando de posicionar sus puntos de vista sobre el tema migratorio pero el gobierno no les da chance y después de la tragedia de JetSet su estructura mediática está ocupada defendiendo intereses primarios.Vi una encuesta que dice que el 70% de la población está de acuerdo con la deportación de mujeres recién paridas y que la política de deportación sin preguntar cómo carajo entran los haitianos al país es igualmente bien valorada.Nadie quiere hacer la pregunta de cómo entran los haitianos quizás porque todos conocen la respuesta y no es patriótica.Mientras tanto el circo funciona. Hoy todos los diarios dicen que no hay hatianos en los hospitales y por sentido común eso debe redundar en un mejor servicio para los dominicanos que no tienen plan b y están obligados al precario servicio del sistema de salud dominicano que sigue siendo uno de los peores del hemisferio y sobre todo el de mayor inequidad.Ayer un vecino duró 4 horas en un tapón porque no hay una grúa y un equipo para mover un camión accidentado en el 9. Miles llegaron tarde a sus hogares por una tontería semejante pero eso no es un problema.Vi al diputado Charlie Mariotti, que ayer les dije que es de los pocos que piensan, hablando de endeudamiento y de la aprobación de nuevos préstamos pero eso tampoco parece ser un problema.Pacheco puso a tres subalternos en la Cámara de Cuentas y eso tampoco es un problema.Abinader se puede ir tranquilo para Roma pero le recomiendo no averiguar mucho porque cuando viene a ver alguien le recuerda las posiciones de FRancisco sobre  el respeto a la dignidad humana y de seguro que no le agradará.El preside

Mañana es día del periodista en la RD, la fecha se escogió a propósito de la publicación del primer periódico de nuestro país, El Telégrafo Constitucional, que era en lo fundamental un medio más o menos oficial en el que se publicaban decretos y anuncios.Como en todo el mundo el periodismo ha evolucionado aunque en líneas generales mantiene los mismos preceptos: Informar, formar, entretener, bajo una premisa que hoy destaca el colega y compañero Tony Pérez “A la gente no hay que darle lo que le gusta si no lo que necesita para cambiar”.Esto implica una responsabilidad para los profesionales del periodismo y para las empresas periodísticas.En RD los medios cayeron en una trampa que hoy amenaza con arrastrarlos o desaparecerlos. Los bajos salarios a los periodistas les llevaron a compensarlo en mi época con un empleo extra y posteriormente con otras formas. Los esquemas de cooptación que se iniciaron en los gobiernos del PLD y que todavía continúan han hecho el resto.Un periodista o una periodista porque la mayoría son reporteras que gana 30 mil pesos en un medio y 100 en una entidad pública inclina las lealtades al número más alto.Si eso fuera poco en tanto que la información veraz es un derecho el intrusismo  y el espectáculo han hecho el resto para evitar que la máxima del periodismo como motor de cambio floreza en la República Dominicana.Los gobiernos prefieren el periodismo del espectáculo, el que no profundiza, el que entretiene al público con tonterias y ahora el que pone en la palestra informaciones falsas.A mi me han enviado programas completos de dos horas que se fundamentan en una información no corroborada. Traduciendo es ponerse hablar de si alguien murió por una intoxicación sin buscar que le intoxicó.Lo peor es que ese periodismo del espectáculo se irrita con lo que queda de ejercicio profesional. El periodismo que critica y que cuestiona, sus legiones de seguidores víctimas de la sociedad del entretenimiento hacen el resto.El periodismo decente lucha hoy en el mundo entero. Estados Unidos cuyos padres fundadores defendieron la libertad de expresión como fundamento de la democracia hoy anda en ascuas con un liderazgo que quiere lo que ya tienen países del tercer mundo. Los grandes símbolos de la prensa libre están amenazados a nivel global aunque siempre hay chispas de esperanza en la financiación popular de algunos medios como The Guardian o El Diario aquí en España. En RD como siempre andamos atrasados pero en algun momento llegaremos.No soy pesimista, el relevo profesional está ahí y en su momento jugará su papel

El proceso para elegir los nuevos miembros de la Cámara de Cuentas se complica. La Fuerza del Pueblo denuncia imposiciones del PRM, mientras el PLD y la oposición protestan por la falta de consenso. ¿Hay un tranque político o una estrategia de control?

La falta de democracia interna destruyó al poderoso Partido de la Liberación Dominicana llevándolo de un 62% del electorado a un diez en 8 años. El partido y Danilo Medina no han entendido el mensaje y pareciera que si Dios no mete su mano de aquí al domingo la organización entrará en una nueva crisis.Violando la ley el PLD volvió a adelantar su proceso de selección del candidato presidencial. La decisión ha sido rechazada y los pasamanos de la dirección a aspirantes como Abel Martínez parecen no haber dado resultados.Hasta ayer solo se habían inscritos Francisco Javier García y dos miembros del CC poco conocidos: Manfred Mata, oriundo de Puerto Plata, y Mario Bruno González, de La Vega.Abel Martínez, Francisco Dominguez Brito, Juan Ariel Jiménez,  Margarita Cedeño y Charlie Mariotti  han hecho mutis. Citamos a Mariotti porque aunque no ha hecho públicas sus aspiraciones anda de comité en comité y ya no es el secretario general.Las malas lenguas dicen que Danilo Medina que es el poder detrás de cualquier decisión en el PLD usa la estrategia de Balaguer en la década del 70 cuando fue a dos procesos electorales con adversarios que en algunos casos eran aliados. De ser así si nadie más se inscribe Francisco Javier enfrentaría a Mata y Gonzalez.El hecho de que cercanos colaboradores de Medina como Carlos Pared hayan sido vistos junto a García fortalece esta hipótesis. La verdad es que la democracia partidaria no caracteriza la política dominicana y hay pocos esforzándose por ella. Esa falta de democracia interna y el control de los caciques le restan a los partidos y nos lastran como sociedad que no puede construir relevos.Los días de políticos con ideas han quedado atrás, ni siquiera los que alguna vez se jactaban del intelecto ahora expresan propuestas nuevas. Definitivamente andamos mal..

El senado está encharcado en la selección de los nuevos integrantes de la Cámara de Cuentas y parece que van a tener que revivir un cura para llegar a un acuerdo a su conveniencia y claro está, lejos muy lejos del interés nacional.Hace una semana les puse de tarea preguntarle a tío Google no por el perfil profesional de los convidados sino su historial en términos de participación pública. Varios hicieron la tarea y sacaron las conclusiones que no pueden sacar los congresistas a pesar de que cuentan con más y mejores mecanismos de investigación.Una fuente bien informada, tiene rango de sargento, da cuenta de que el presidente de la Cámara de Diputados está cerrado a banda con un candidato que puede resultar objetable. Pacheco confía en que los dominicanos estamos muy entretenidos co Friusa y que por tanto la selección pasará sin pena ni gloriaNo voy a decir que el presidente de los diputados tiene pocas luces, pero por lo menos que no entiende lo que está pasando en el mundo. Las mismas redes que están entrentenidas con el discurso ultranaciolistas y que no ven el resto de la sociedad pueden orientarse con un publico más calificado o por lo menos más preocupado por el acontecer nacional.Ayer el senador de la Vega que siempre anda cerca de donde algo huele feo, dijo que no se podía avanzar porque la oposición está demandando reparto. Hasta donde sabemos eso es cierto, pero también sabemos que hasta ahora no se han hecho muchas concesiones o que por lo menos el PLD ha quedado fuera de la jugada.Lo increíble es que la presión que hace un peremeista sea para colocar en el órgano a una persona que ha tenido fuertes vínculos con el danilismo y beneficiario de contratos en la era del PLDUn cabo me dijo que a Pacheco le están cobrando la exclusión del caso Odebrecht y que en política como en todo las manos que dan esperan.A Pacheco y a su partido hay que decirle que el mundo cambió para favorecerle pero que sigue cambiando. El PRM en el poder ha buscado la peor de las lealtades porque ha buscado la que se compra y se vende. Siempre habrá alguien dispuesto a pagar y muchos dispuestos a cobrar.
