The 135 00:04:43,289 --> 00:04:45,769 base unit itself, of course, has 20 inputs, 136 00:04:45,769 --> 00:04:47,769 meaning that it can take up to 10 137 00:04:47,769 --> 00:04:48,669 safety devices 138 00:04:49,050 --> 00:04:50,189 and eight outputs. 139 00:04:50,810 --> 00:04:52,669 We have LEDs for statuses 140 00:04:53,175 --> 00:04:56,634 of, diagnostics and also for errors, error messages. 141 00:04:57,894 --> 00:04:58,714 The standard, 142 00:04:59,495 --> 00:05:02,214 ports on board are the Ethernet port. We 143 00:05:02,214 --> 00:05:04,375 have an SD card slot and a mini 144 00:05:04,375 --> 00:05:05,675 USB for programming. 145 00:05:06,670 --> 00:05:09,069 And as I mentioned, we had four fast 146 00:05:09,069 --> 00:05:11,810 motion inputs, I 13 through I 16. 147 00:05:12,750 --> 00:05:15,470 And again, we have either variation of screw 148 00:05:15,470 --> 00:05:17,569 in type or push in terminal blocks. 149 00:05:18,189 --> 00:05:20,529 Now as I mentioned, this is scalable 150 00:05:20,830 --> 00:05:21,970 and expandable. 151 00:05:22,504 --> 00:05:23,564 We can add additional, 152 00:05:24,664 --> 00:05:28,044 communication protocols. We can also add a gateway 153 00:05:28,185 --> 00:05:29,964 for CANopen or PROFIBUS 154 00:05:30,345 --> 00:05:31,164 or EtherCAT. 155 00:05:31,625 --> 00:05:34,284 Okay? We can actually add two more gateways 156 00:05:34,504 --> 00:05:36,524 to this expansion if we need. 157 00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:39,509 On top of that, we have I can 158 00:05:39,509 --> 00:05:42,709 add additional safe IO when 20 input is 159 00:05:42,709 --> 00:05:45,610 not enough. We can add additional safety IO. 160 00:05:46,230 --> 00:05:48,089 We can also add additional 161 00:05:48,629 --> 00:05:50,009 non safety IO. 162 00:05:50,709 --> 00:05:52,785 On top of that, we have some more 163 00:05:52,785 --> 00:05:56,084 variance for analog measurements. We can take either 164 00:05:56,225 --> 00:05:58,964 current or voltage and RTD inputs, 165 00:05:59,345 --> 00:06:01,204 as part of our input catalog 166 00:06:01,504 --> 00:06:02,485 to monitor, 167 00:06:03,024 --> 00:06:04,724 our conditions in our cell. 168 00:06:05,664 --> 00:06:08,310 And on top of that, we also have 169 00:06:08,850 --> 00:06:10,069 the base configuration 170 00:06:10,449 --> 00:06:13,090 is just one base, which occupies all in 171 00:06:13,090 --> 00:06:16,210 the left 45 millimeters. So again, quite capable 172 00:06:16,210 --> 00:06:18,949 by itself. It has up to two additional, 173 00:06:19,410 --> 00:06:20,629 communication gateways 174 00:06:21,274 --> 00:06:24,254 and 12 expansion modules of any combination. 175 00:06:24,555 --> 00:06:27,115 So it is, again, quite scalable depending on 176 00:06:27,115 --> 00:06:27,854 your needs. 177 00:06:28,555 --> 00:06:31,214 As an integrated safe motion controller, 178 00:06:31,995 --> 00:06:33,774 it is a single device. 179 00:06:34,439 --> 00:06:36,439 And the benefit of this is, of course, 180 00:06:36,439 --> 00:06:37,579 that you occupy 181 00:06:37,959 --> 00:06:39,979 less space in the cabinet. 182 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:41,819 There are some 183 00:06:42,519 --> 00:06:45,959 products that actually require additional module or the 184 00:06:45,959 --> 00:06:47,819 module that include that is 185 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,500 used for motion 186 00:06:49,985 --> 00:06:52,545 is a bit larger. But this again does 187 00:06:52,545 --> 00:06:55,345 not deviate from its 45 millimeter width and 188 00:06:55,345 --> 00:06:57,425 how much space it occupies on a DIN 189 00:06:57,425 --> 00:06:57,925 rail. 190 00:06:58,384 --> 00:07:00,625 And depending on how you want to configure 191 00:07:00,625 --> 00:07:02,865 the software, this can be tailor made for 192 00:07:02,865 --> 00:07:04,165 pretty much any application 193 00:07:04,865 --> 00:07:05,365 regarding 194 00:07:06,009 --> 00:07:09,529 safety, both for, human safety, but also for 195 00:07:09,529 --> 00:07:10,029 monitoring 196 00:07:10,490 --> 00:07:14,029 motor shaft condition, either speed, position, or direction. 197 00:07:14,810 --> 00:07:17,389 The function blocks that we talked about, SLS, 198 00:07:17,689 --> 00:07:18,189 SMS, 199 00:07:18,490 --> 00:07:18,990 SSR, 200 00:07:19,375 --> 00:07:19,875 standstill, 201 00:07:20,334 --> 00:07:21,714 SDI, and SLP, 202 00:07:22,175 --> 00:07:25,615 these are all TUV certified function blocks. Basically, 203 00:07:25,615 --> 00:07:26,995 an industry standard 204 00:07:27,375 --> 00:07:30,654 for being compatible across the industry for any 205 00:07:30,654 --> 00:07:32,194 of these types of conditions. 206 00:07:32,990 --> 00:07:35,470 And the benefit of the software itself is 207 00:07:35,470 --> 00:07:38,590 just intuitive programming. These are literally drag and 208 00:07:38,590 --> 00:07:39,970 drop into your workspace 209 00:07:40,350 --> 00:07:42,830 from the library itself. So it cuts down 210 00:07:42,830 --> 00:07:44,670 on the amount of time, first time that 211 00:07:44,670 --> 00:07:46,830 you have to build a program. And the 212 00:07:46,830 --> 00:07:49,845 programming itself is easy as you expand the 213 00:07:49,845 --> 00:07:51,224 modules. The software 214 00:07:51,524 --> 00:07:52,024 accommodates 215 00:07:52,564 --> 00:07:55,305 any type of application that you may need. 216 00:07:55,604 --> 00:07:57,764 And it's again, it's quite intuitive and very 217 00:07:57,764 --> 00:07:58,264 understandable 218 00:07:58,724 --> 00:08:00,884 especially in when it comes time to trying 219 00:08:00,884 --> 00:08:02,584 to do some maintenance or investigate, 220 00:08:03,204 --> 00:08:04,264 the safety system. 221 00:08:05,209 --> 00:08:08,089 In addition to being able to take, safe, 222 00:08:08,410 --> 00:08:09,310 motion inputs, 223 00:08:09,689 --> 00:08:11,709 there's an anti vibration toolbox. 224 00:08:12,009 --> 00:08:14,250 This is a really good benefit to help 225 00:08:14,250 --> 00:08:17,449 cut down on arbitrary signals or signals that 226 00:08:17,449 --> 00:08:20,495 may interfere with the actual encoder signals going 227 00:08:20,495 --> 00:08:22,034 in. And this is prevalent 228 00:08:22,334 --> 00:08:24,435 and occurs a lot when you're monitoring, 229 00:08:24,974 --> 00:08:28,254 shafts because of vibration, just inherent vibrations of 230 00:08:28,254 --> 00:08:29,954 the motion of the shaft itself. 231 00:08:30,654 --> 00:08:32,754 So you can maintain your 232 00:08:33,294 --> 00:08:34,595 robustness, reliability, 233 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:36,019 and safety, 234 00:08:36,639 --> 00:08:37,699 despite the vibrations. 235 00:08:38,079 --> 00:08:40,320 And again, as you'll see, there's a variety 236 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:41,059 of configurations, 237 00:08:41,839 --> 00:08:42,339 that 238 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,379 may be, set up depending on your needs. 239 00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:48,079 One of the interesting things that you can 240 00:08:48,079 --> 00:08:50,980 do too is to, monitor shaft breakage. 241 00:08:51,575 --> 00:08:54,535 Meaning that you have now the tools available 242 00:08:54,535 --> 00:08:55,754 to you to maintain, 243 00:08:56,774 --> 00:08:59,095 and and confidence that your that the shaft 244 00:08:59,095 --> 00:09:00,875 that you're actually using or monitoring, 245 00:09:01,815 --> 00:09:02,955 is not broken. 246 00:09:03,590 --> 00:09:04,490 And, again, 247 00:09:04,950 --> 00:09:06,170 it's not that difficult. 248 00:09:06,710 --> 00:09:09,910 You put two motion sensors, typically an encoder 249 00:09:09,910 --> 00:09:12,310 on one end, encoder on another end, and 250 00:09:12,310 --> 00:09:14,629 you do a comparison between the two. And, 251 00:09:14,629 --> 00:09:16,629 as soon as you detect a difference in 252 00:09:16,629 --> 00:09:18,044 speed between the two 253 00:09:18,924 --> 00:09:21,644 sensors, now you recognize that the shaft is 254 00:09:21,644 --> 00:09:24,445 not contiguous and that it's broken and you 255 00:09:24,445 --> 00:09:26,865 can initiate a, a safe, 256 00:09:27,325 --> 00:09:29,024 action, following that. 257 00:09:29,644 --> 00:09:32,759 So it does provide higher safety, with that 258 00:09:32,759 --> 00:09:35,480 redundancy with two encoders on it. And you 259 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,960 might find these again in presses and in 260 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,740 portal axles. Again, when, you're trying to monitor 261 00:09:41,799 --> 00:09:42,460 and maintain 262 00:09:43,004 --> 00:09:45,904 the integrity of the the shaft, under scrutiny. 263 00:09:47,644 --> 00:09:51,024 The Ethernet gateways on board include PROFINET, 264 00:09:51,485 --> 00:09:51,985 Ethernet, 265 00:09:52,445 --> 00:09:53,985 IP, and also Modbus 266 00:09:54,285 --> 00:09:56,144 as I showed you in the, 267 00:09:56,524 --> 00:09:57,024 expansion 268 00:09:57,884 --> 00:10:00,799 slide. We also had additional for, 269 00:10:01,419 --> 00:10:01,919 profibus, 270 00:10:03,340 --> 00:10:06,379 EtherCAT, and CANopen. So again, you have pretty 271 00:10:06,379 --> 00:10:09,039 much coverage for all the major 272 00:10:09,980 --> 00:10:12,480 communication buses that are out there and available. 273 00:10:13,580 --> 00:10:14,080 Yeah. 274 00:10:14,434 --> 00:10:16,674 And in fact that these three right here, 275 00:10:16,674 --> 00:10:19,794 PROFINET, EthernetIP, and Modbus are resident on this, 276 00:10:19,794 --> 00:10:22,134 you're saving space. Again, no additional 277 00:10:22,595 --> 00:10:23,654 modules needed, 278 00:10:24,034 --> 00:10:25,495 to cover those three, 279 00:10:26,355 --> 00:10:26,855 particular 280 00:10:27,554 --> 00:10:29,389 protocols. Well, you know, I wanna be clear 281 00:10:29,389 --> 00:10:30,049 on this. 282 00:10:30,909 --> 00:10:33,870 If I get the industrial protocol option, right, 283 00:10:33,870 --> 00:10:35,809 the unit that has the industrial protocols, 284 00:10:36,350 --> 00:10:37,649 I get all three of these? 285 00:10:38,269 --> 00:10:38,769 Correct. 286 00:10:39,309 --> 00:10:40,049 They're included. 287 00:10:40,794 --> 00:10:43,035 Yep. It's included as part of the unit 288 00:10:43,035 --> 00:10:45,134 itself, and you can see the Ethernet port, 289 00:10:45,355 --> 00:10:47,835 on the front face of it. And that's 290 00:10:47,835 --> 00:10:50,554 a a nice, a feature benefit to have 291 00:10:50,554 --> 00:10:52,715 on the base unit. And, again, you have 292 00:10:52,715 --> 00:10:55,509 these protocols, and you're only occupying 45 millimeters 293 00:10:55,509 --> 00:10:57,350 of space on the DIN rail. Yeah. And 294 00:10:57,350 --> 00:10:59,189 that's great. As if you're an OEM, you 295 00:10:59,269 --> 00:11:00,950 or you've got a lot of different systems 296 00:11:00,950 --> 00:11:02,230 that you have to work with, you may 297 00:11:02,230 --> 00:11:03,289 need different protocols. 298 00:11:03,750 --> 00:11:05,829 So having one model number that has all 299 00:11:05,829 --> 00:11:07,370 three protocols is just, 300 00:11:08,035 --> 00:11:08,855 just huge. 301 00:11:09,394 --> 00:11:11,075 Yep. It it it is a really, really 302 00:11:11,075 --> 00:11:13,654 good benefit. I'm glad you, mentioned that, Sean. 303 00:11:15,315 --> 00:11:17,634 Okay. Now the output of this, okay, what 304 00:11:17,634 --> 00:11:19,815 can we do? What can we monitor? Okay? 305 00:11:20,269 --> 00:11:22,370 We have the ability to send the signal 306 00:11:22,429 --> 00:11:25,629 from the compact controller, the motion controller to 307 00:11:25,629 --> 00:11:26,370 an HMI, 308 00:11:27,070 --> 00:11:29,250 and we can monitor things. We can monitor 309 00:11:29,470 --> 00:11:32,350 like e stops. Okay? Safety devices, their condition, 310 00:11:32,350 --> 00:11:33,970 whether they're active or tripped. 311 00:11:34,424 --> 00:11:37,404 When we're measuring, okay, we're either measuring counts, 312 00:11:37,465 --> 00:11:40,365 for example, in this example, or we're measuring 313 00:11:40,664 --> 00:11:43,465 shaft speed and direction and whatnot. We can 314 00:11:43,465 --> 00:11:46,184 send all these signals. So we provide status 315 00:11:46,184 --> 00:11:49,004 bits, counter values, speed position, and direction, 316 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,679 And again, if we're monitoring analog information, things 317 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,480 like temperature and pressure can be, displayed on 318 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,340 your, HMI. So 319 00:11:57,799 --> 00:11:58,460 it involves, 320 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,200 it's pretty easy mapping, 321 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,115 any of the gateways. And again, the style 322 00:12:03,115 --> 00:12:05,274 of the programming is not so much programming 323 00:12:05,274 --> 00:12:08,254 anymore. It's just configuring with drag and drop. 324 00:12:09,195 --> 00:12:12,475 It's continuous data. So again, as it's an 325 00:12:12,475 --> 00:12:15,754 active view, so, you can monitor your HMI 326 00:12:15,754 --> 00:12:16,200 and 327 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,720 see the performance and the condition of the 328 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:20,220 setup. 329 00:12:20,759 --> 00:12:22,540 It sets up quick and easy. 330 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,679 You don't need any sort of a signal 331 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,000 splitter or whatnot, and of course that just 332 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,485 saves you extra time, cost, and effort if 333 00:12:29,485 --> 00:12:31,884 you don't, need or, to have to have 334 00:12:31,884 --> 00:12:34,705 any additional sensors, to accomplish that. 335 00:12:36,365 --> 00:12:39,725 Some examples, some application examples. Okay? These are 336 00:12:39,725 --> 00:12:42,705 pretty popular in the machine tool metalworking business. 337 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,440 And again, cutters. Okay? Whether it's laser cutting, 338 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,820 plasma cutting, water cutting, whatnot. There's several, 339 00:12:50,279 --> 00:12:52,200 features that you want to be able to 340 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,595 monitor to help coordinate what's going on. Okay? 341 00:12:55,735 --> 00:12:58,615 Standstill monitoring. Okay? When to know when things 342 00:12:58,615 --> 00:13:01,975 are, stationary. Okay? And safe limited speed and 343 00:13:01,975 --> 00:13:04,634 safe direction. There may be an application where 344 00:13:04,695 --> 00:13:07,654 one direction is, in a, a safe condition 345 00:13:07,654 --> 00:13:10,394 and the opposite direction is a hazardous condition. 346 00:13:10,610 --> 00:13:14,129 This is easily accomplished with, encoders and the 347 00:13:14,129 --> 00:13:15,110 Samos MOLPRO 348 00:13:15,649 --> 00:13:16,629 motion controller. 349 00:13:17,009 --> 00:13:20,450 Now there's easy calibration mode with safe limited 350 00:13:20,450 --> 00:13:20,950 speed. 351 00:13:21,649 --> 00:13:24,210 It has the highest safety during tool change, 352 00:13:24,210 --> 00:13:26,754 meaning that when you're doing a standstill monitoring, 353 00:13:26,815 --> 00:13:28,914 you know that the machine is not moving. 354 00:13:29,375 --> 00:13:30,194 It's robust, 355 00:13:30,574 --> 00:13:33,134 against vibrations. Again, we spoke about that with 356 00:13:33,134 --> 00:13:36,334 the, anti vibration toolbox in the software. And, 357 00:13:36,334 --> 00:13:39,214 again, it is one consolidated system for all 358 00:13:39,214 --> 00:13:40,169 safety functions. 359 00:13:41,529 --> 00:13:43,929 Additional type of machine that could be a 360 00:13:43,929 --> 00:13:47,209 benefit from motion control is, woodworking machines. Things 361 00:13:47,209 --> 00:13:50,110 like CNCs and saws and things like that. 362 00:13:50,809 --> 00:13:52,970 And, again, we're gonna reach out into the 363 00:13:52,970 --> 00:13:56,225 toolbox to use various functions. Things like safe 364 00:13:56,225 --> 00:13:56,725 standstill 365 00:13:57,024 --> 00:13:58,485 during tool changeover, 366 00:13:59,745 --> 00:14:02,485 safe standstill again for service and maintenance. Okay? 367 00:14:02,544 --> 00:14:03,044 Maintaining, 368 00:14:04,225 --> 00:14:06,725 the position and the direction and the speed 369 00:14:06,865 --> 00:14:07,684 of devices, 370 00:14:08,065 --> 00:14:10,450 that could be causing hazards for people. And, 371 00:14:10,450 --> 00:14:13,589 of course, safe limited speed for calibration setup. 372 00:14:14,049 --> 00:14:17,029 Quite often, these need to be run while, 373 00:14:17,409 --> 00:14:20,289 someone is nearby. But again, there can be 374 00:14:20,289 --> 00:14:21,669 a threshold of speed, 375 00:14:22,209 --> 00:14:24,370 dialed in to make sure that the operators 376 00:14:24,370 --> 00:14:27,384 are still safe. This is, both a cost 377 00:14:27,544 --> 00:14:30,585 both cost effective and the compact solution. Again, 378 00:14:30,585 --> 00:14:32,605 all this functionality still resides, 379 00:14:33,225 --> 00:14:34,764 in the module itself. 380 00:14:35,784 --> 00:14:37,485 You can have up to a PLD, 381 00:14:38,345 --> 00:14:40,044 safety level. Okay? 382 00:14:40,809 --> 00:14:43,950 Based using either proxy switches or encoders. 383 00:14:45,049 --> 00:14:47,049 And it again, as I mentioned, it supports 384 00:14:47,049 --> 00:14:49,610 other functions, meaning that it can also take 385 00:14:49,610 --> 00:14:52,809 inputs from either safety mats, light curtains, e 386 00:14:52,809 --> 00:14:55,455 stops, and whatnot as part of the total 387 00:14:55,455 --> 00:14:56,434 safety function. 388 00:14:57,615 --> 00:15:01,235 Additionally, packaging machines. Okay? Whether there are folders, 389 00:15:01,455 --> 00:15:04,735 sealers, or wrappers. Okay? There are various hazards 390 00:15:04,735 --> 00:15:07,375 to these machines, and they do benefit from 391 00:15:07,375 --> 00:15:08,355 motion monitoring. 392 00:15:08,980 --> 00:15:11,399 Again, safe standstill for maintenance, 393 00:15:11,940 --> 00:15:15,240 safe limited speed during setup, and safe direction. 394 00:15:15,379 --> 00:15:17,540 If there's a conveyor on there, okay, there 395 00:15:17,540 --> 00:15:19,879 may be one direction where it is hazardous, 396 00:15:20,179 --> 00:15:22,884 to individuals, and in another direction that is 397 00:15:22,884 --> 00:15:23,464 not necessarily 398 00:15:23,845 --> 00:15:26,644 hazardous. So it can be dialed in during 399 00:15:26,644 --> 00:15:27,945 the recipe creation. 400 00:15:28,485 --> 00:15:30,584 It just gives you that additional flexibility 401 00:15:31,204 --> 00:15:33,125 depending on the option and the use of 402 00:15:33,125 --> 00:15:34,184 the machine itself. 403 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,839 And you can also add this kind of 404 00:15:37,839 --> 00:15:40,720 safety where you're doing monitoring of motor shafts, 405 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,500 but just adding a safety encoder, 406 00:15:42,959 --> 00:15:44,019 to, preexisting 407 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:45,459 and legacy equipment. 408 00:15:47,039 --> 00:15:50,254 Storage systems. And this is especially true, when 409 00:15:50,254 --> 00:15:52,274 you have vertical lifts.

Okay? Safe 484 00:18:49,565 --> 00:18:50,785 direction, for example, 485 00:18:51,325 --> 00:18:53,909 you may use those. These typically have some 486 00:18:53,909 --> 00:18:55,750 sort of a scanner. These are like either 487 00:18:55,750 --> 00:18:58,230 the forward looking eyes or the rear looking 488 00:18:58,230 --> 00:19:00,950 eyes, and they have to be initiated depending 489 00:19:00,950 --> 00:19:03,669 on which direction they're going in. A safe 490 00:19:03,669 --> 00:19:08,025 direction indicator can identify that and to, elicit 491 00:19:08,725 --> 00:19:11,365 the front or the rear scanner on depending 492 00:19:11,365 --> 00:19:12,265 on its direction? 493 00:19:12,725 --> 00:19:13,225 Okay? 494 00:19:14,484 --> 00:19:17,365 Additional things like safe speed range, slowing when 495 00:19:17,365 --> 00:19:18,744 it gets into a 496 00:19:19,125 --> 00:19:19,705 a shared, 497 00:19:20,565 --> 00:19:21,065 alleyway 498 00:19:21,809 --> 00:19:24,230 or coming to an intersection, things like that. 499 00:19:24,849 --> 00:19:28,929 Safe speed range, again, stopping near zones depending 500 00:19:28,929 --> 00:19:31,750 on loading, unloading, and whatnot. And, of course, 501 00:19:31,890 --> 00:19:34,869 safe limited position depending on the steering axles. 502 00:19:35,474 --> 00:19:37,875 So it is the most compact. Again, it's 503 00:19:37,875 --> 00:19:40,515 ideal, especially for AGVs where space is at 504 00:19:40,515 --> 00:19:42,595 a premium. You don't have the luxury of 505 00:19:42,595 --> 00:19:44,914 a large cabinet to install all these things. 506 00:19:44,914 --> 00:19:46,595 They do have to be put into a 507 00:19:46,595 --> 00:19:47,654 compact chassis. 508 00:19:49,019 --> 00:19:49,759 The TUV 509 00:19:50,059 --> 00:19:51,039 level certification 510 00:19:51,340 --> 00:19:53,500 in an application like this, again, would be 511 00:19:53,500 --> 00:19:54,000 PLD, 512 00:19:54,619 --> 00:19:56,160 with two safety encoders. 513 00:19:57,019 --> 00:19:59,740 And, again, you have industrial Ethernet integrated in 514 00:19:59,740 --> 00:20:02,640 the base module for sending out information. 515 00:20:03,974 --> 00:20:07,015 Additional benefit for AGVs since there could be 516 00:20:07,015 --> 00:20:09,275 many, many vehicles with the same 517 00:20:09,734 --> 00:20:12,535 recipe in them is how you share the 518 00:20:12,535 --> 00:20:13,835 recipe, the programming. 519 00:20:14,295 --> 00:20:16,454 The initial program can be done on a 520 00:20:16,454 --> 00:20:16,954 laptop, 521 00:20:17,590 --> 00:20:20,470 stored on SD card, and then an individual 522 00:20:20,470 --> 00:20:21,769 can go out to the floor 523 00:20:22,150 --> 00:20:22,890 and populate 524 00:20:23,190 --> 00:20:23,930 that recipe 525 00:20:24,230 --> 00:20:25,289 to each AGV 526 00:20:25,670 --> 00:20:28,309 by taking the SD card, inserting it into 527 00:20:28,309 --> 00:20:29,450 the Samuels ProMotion, 528 00:20:30,230 --> 00:20:31,450 SD card slot, 529 00:20:31,964 --> 00:20:34,765 uploading the program, and then moving on to 530 00:20:34,765 --> 00:20:36,605 the next and next and next. It really 531 00:20:36,605 --> 00:20:39,005 cuts down on time and also cuts down 532 00:20:39,005 --> 00:20:41,964 the need to carry around additional tools or 533 00:20:41,964 --> 00:20:43,500 a laptop to be able to do that. 534 00:20:44,059 --> 00:20:45,740 You know what? That's a great feature. But, 535 00:20:45,740 --> 00:20:47,180 you know, one thing I picked up is 536 00:20:47,180 --> 00:20:50,400 that you seem to use program and recipe 537 00:20:50,619 --> 00:20:51,119 interchangeably. 538 00:20:52,059 --> 00:20:53,839 Is that am I correct on that? 539 00:20:54,299 --> 00:20:56,160 I do. And, the program, 540 00:20:56,700 --> 00:20:58,480 I can it's programming, 541 00:20:58,845 --> 00:21:01,025 but the program itself is basically, 542 00:21:01,884 --> 00:21:04,924 the functions that the safety system needs to 543 00:21:04,924 --> 00:21:05,424 perform, 544 00:21:06,125 --> 00:21:09,404 and I would interchange that, with either, a 545 00:21:09,404 --> 00:21:12,630 program or, a recipe. Either one. Okay. No. 546 00:21:12,630 --> 00:21:13,990 And the only reason I think about it 547 00:21:13,990 --> 00:21:15,190 is because a lot of times as a 548 00:21:15,190 --> 00:21:17,829 PLC person, I think of recipe as, you 549 00:21:17,829 --> 00:21:19,750 know, eggs and butter and, you know, whatever 550 00:21:19,750 --> 00:21:21,670 it takes. Right? And so a lot of 551 00:21:21,670 --> 00:21:23,769 different PLCs have a recipe feature 552 00:21:24,070 --> 00:21:25,750 that makes that easy. So I just wanted 553 00:21:25,750 --> 00:21:26,869 to get clear in my own mind, and 554 00:21:26,869 --> 00:21:28,867 I apologize if the audience if I'm going 555 00:21:28,867 --> 00:21:31,095 off the on a on a sidebar here. 556 00:21:31,095 --> 00:21:33,075 But I just wanted to make sure because 557 00:21:33,075 --> 00:21:35,054 I heard you say that a couple times. 558 00:21:35,054 --> 00:21:37,035 So when you say recipe or program, you're 559 00:21:37,035 --> 00:21:39,015 pretty much talking about what you've created, that 560 00:21:39,015 --> 00:21:40,994 that that code you've created in the developer, 561 00:21:40,994 --> 00:21:42,960 which is all visual and very, very cool, 562 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:44,579 which we saw in the last episode. 563 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,119 And when you download that to the unit, 564 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:48,319 you may call it a recipe or a 565 00:21:48,319 --> 00:21:50,480 program, but that's what's on that SD card. 566 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,319 And you don't have to leave the SD 567 00:21:52,319 --> 00:21:54,319 card in. Is that correct? The way that 568 00:21:54,319 --> 00:21:57,119 the Samos Pro operates, it likes to have 569 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,225 a card in it. It doesn't have to 570 00:21:59,225 --> 00:22:00,365 have that particular, 571 00:22:02,345 --> 00:22:02,825 program, 572 00:22:03,545 --> 00:22:05,785 resident on the card, but the slot is 573 00:22:05,785 --> 00:22:08,924 dependent on having a card in there. So, 574 00:22:09,305 --> 00:22:10,445 again, you can 575 00:22:11,785 --> 00:22:12,605 walk around, 576 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,619 transfer the program to each of the ADVs, 577 00:22:15,919 --> 00:22:18,159 and basically just put in a placeholder. There's 578 00:22:18,159 --> 00:22:20,159 actually a plug a placeholder that you can 579 00:22:20,159 --> 00:22:22,559 use, in its place. And that's basically how 580 00:22:22,559 --> 00:22:24,339 the controller, likes to operate. 581 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,419 Does now does it come with that placeholder? 582 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,025 Yes. It actually does come with it. Good. 583 00:22:29,025 --> 00:22:30,005 Good. Yep. 584 00:22:30,305 --> 00:22:30,805 So, 585 00:22:31,184 --> 00:22:33,345 we spoke about the encoders, some of the 586 00:22:33,345 --> 00:22:36,625 input devices that actually feed this. Okay? And, 587 00:22:37,105 --> 00:22:39,525 these represent a couple of different variations 588 00:22:39,984 --> 00:22:42,865 of safety encoders, s s e n n 589 00:22:42,865 --> 00:22:44,244 c, safety encoders. 590 00:22:44,650 --> 00:22:45,549 These are HTLs. 591 00:22:45,929 --> 00:22:48,089 Okay? And they can be either two or 592 00:22:48,089 --> 00:22:48,829 four tracks. 593 00:22:49,289 --> 00:22:51,710 And, of course, we're watching 594 00:22:52,009 --> 00:22:54,269 speed, position, and direction on these. 595 00:22:55,210 --> 00:22:57,549 And all the functions with or without direction 596 00:22:57,609 --> 00:22:58,269 are available. 597 00:22:59,115 --> 00:23:02,414 And, also, it includes the anti vibration toolbox. 598 00:23:02,795 --> 00:23:04,894 It could be very important on 599 00:23:05,434 --> 00:23:08,174 machinery that generates a lot of vibration. 600 00:23:09,434 --> 00:23:10,494 It is available, 601 00:23:11,115 --> 00:23:13,914 the safety level up to CAT four, PLE, 602 00:23:13,914 --> 00:23:15,140 and SIL three, 603 00:23:15,519 --> 00:23:16,740 depending on the configuration, 604 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,660 whether you're using just a a b or 605 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,140 a a inverse, b and b inverse. 606 00:23:23,759 --> 00:23:26,019 And, of course, the maximum number of axles, 607 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,904 axis that we can monitor is two. Okay? 608 00:23:29,904 --> 00:23:30,964 Upwards of two. 609 00:23:31,585 --> 00:23:34,484 Now proxies, you don't have to just use, 610 00:23:34,944 --> 00:23:36,484 a safety rated encoder, 611 00:23:37,105 --> 00:23:38,404 wheel ins or otherwise, 612 00:23:39,025 --> 00:23:41,365 to operate this. You can use proxenses. 613 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,059 Okay. A prox sensors. Okay? They can be, 614 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,000 standard approxes. They can be ultrasound, even a 615 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,880 light barrier, for example. Okay? It's looking for 616 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,740 some sort of a timed signal, 617 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,859 as an input. And, of course, the max 618 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,539 reachable safety levels 619 00:23:56,865 --> 00:23:59,744 is really dependent on whether or not in 620 00:23:59,744 --> 00:24:03,125 the top two, graphics, it shows single proxies. 621 00:24:03,424 --> 00:24:06,565 The bottom two show redundant dual proxies. 622 00:24:06,944 --> 00:24:08,484 So in the safety world, 623 00:24:08,865 --> 00:24:11,345 if you want a higher level of safety, 624 00:24:11,345 --> 00:24:13,130 of course, you have to make things redundant, 625 00:24:13,589 --> 00:24:14,570 and that's why, 626 00:24:15,029 --> 00:24:16,869 the first two is the highest you can 627 00:24:16,869 --> 00:24:18,730 have is CAT one PLC, 628 00:24:19,029 --> 00:24:21,670 SIL one. That's only with one sensor. And 629 00:24:21,670 --> 00:24:23,830 at the bottom, the highest you can get 630 00:24:23,830 --> 00:24:26,630 is CAT three PLE or SIL two, and 631 00:24:26,630 --> 00:24:29,345 that's using two sensors. And, of course, again, 632 00:24:30,045 --> 00:24:32,605 we're still just monitoring the maximum of two 633 00:24:32,605 --> 00:24:33,105 axis. 634 00:24:34,765 --> 00:24:35,265 Okay. 635 00:24:35,724 --> 00:24:38,525 And then, of course, so we covered, safety 636 00:24:38,525 --> 00:24:39,904 encoders. We covered, 637 00:24:40,525 --> 00:24:41,424 standard proxies, 638 00:24:41,884 --> 00:24:44,009 prox type devices, and now we can also 639 00:24:44,009 --> 00:24:45,470 use a standard encoder. 640 00:24:45,850 --> 00:24:47,610 And I think, it pretty much is the 641 00:24:47,610 --> 00:24:48,110 same 642 00:24:48,730 --> 00:24:51,130 concept as a safety encoder, but I think 643 00:24:51,130 --> 00:24:54,029 you'll notice that the max reachable safety level 644 00:24:54,330 --> 00:24:56,590 is only CAT one, PLC, 645 00:24:56,970 --> 00:24:59,144 and SIL one. This is a bit of 646 00:24:59,144 --> 00:25:01,865 a derating because, again, it isn't a safety 647 00:25:01,865 --> 00:25:02,365 rated, 648 00:25:03,225 --> 00:25:05,085 encoder. Okay? There is a benefit, 649 00:25:05,545 --> 00:25:07,865 by having a safety rated encoder as part 650 00:25:07,865 --> 00:25:10,265 of your system. If your safety needs and 651 00:25:10,265 --> 00:25:12,605 your PL level, your required PL level, 652 00:25:13,750 --> 00:25:14,650 is a bit higher, 653 00:25:15,190 --> 00:25:17,029 it can be achieved, but you would have 654 00:25:17,029 --> 00:25:19,829 to get the safety rated encoders. But the 655 00:25:19,829 --> 00:25:20,730 standard encoders 656 00:25:21,029 --> 00:25:23,289 do and can work very well with this. 657 00:25:24,230 --> 00:25:25,369 And if we have, 658 00:25:25,990 --> 00:25:28,894 two axes, then it's just single ended, okay, 659 00:25:28,894 --> 00:25:30,275 signal wise, or, 660 00:25:30,894 --> 00:25:32,755 one axis and antivalent. 661 00:25:33,855 --> 00:25:36,494 So, again, it depends on the configuration and 662 00:25:36,494 --> 00:25:38,414 the kind of signals that you're feeding the 663 00:25:38,414 --> 00:25:40,115 Samos Pro Compact Motion. 664 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,940 So in summary, the applications with the ProMotion. 665 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,580 Okay? These are a couple of the devices 666 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,180 that we show, a couple of the encoders. 667 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,960 Okay? One is a hollow shaft. The other 668 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,519 one is a solid shaft to attach to 669 00:25:53,519 --> 00:25:55,360 a pre existing shaft of some sort with 670 00:25:55,360 --> 00:25:56,019 a coupler. 671 00:25:56,394 --> 00:25:59,355 Okay. We're monitoring speed direction and positioning. And, 672 00:25:59,355 --> 00:26:00,894 again, this is always, 673 00:26:01,355 --> 00:26:04,815 concurrent with, safety standards. In this case, IEC 674 00:26:05,194 --> 00:26:06,414 sixty one eight hundred. 675 00:26:06,875 --> 00:26:11,355 Standstill monitoring is, useful and beneficial during commissioning 676 00:26:11,355 --> 00:26:13,920 or maintenance. Again, maintaining the fact that you 677 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,819 have zero RPMs, zero shaft movement. 678 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:18,099 Safe direction 679 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,039 is useful and important, especially when you have 680 00:26:21,039 --> 00:26:23,140 rollers or gates or machinery, 681 00:26:23,759 --> 00:26:25,920 where you have to know, again, one direction 682 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,224 is safe versus the other direction not being 683 00:26:28,224 --> 00:26:28,964 so safe. 684 00:26:29,424 --> 00:26:32,404 Safe limited speed, if you have to monitor, 685 00:26:33,265 --> 00:26:35,204 and the safety integrity 686 00:26:35,505 --> 00:26:38,305 of an application during setup where there is 687 00:26:38,305 --> 00:26:40,484 actually motion and there's human interaction 688 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:41,619 involved, 689 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,940 then a safe limited speed, 690 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:45,779 is is established 691 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,720 to say that, okay, once it arrives at 692 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,440 that safe limited speed, then someone can interact 693 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:52,259 with the machinery. 694 00:26:52,799 --> 00:26:54,484 And, of course, safe limited position 695 00:26:54,785 --> 00:26:57,204 for any sort of rotary or linear axes 696 00:26:57,345 --> 00:26:59,904 and to understand where the position is, for 697 00:26:59,904 --> 00:27:02,545 example, like cranes. Okay? There could be, one 698 00:27:02,545 --> 00:27:04,785 position that is considered a safe position for 699 00:27:04,785 --> 00:27:07,920 the crane and another position where it's directly 700 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,920 over a walkway or whatnot that would be 701 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,460 considered unsafe, and it couldn't stop or maintain 702 00:27:13,519 --> 00:27:14,740 in that position there. 703 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,440 And that concludes the presentation that we have 704 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,144 for you on the Samuels 705 00:27:21,524 --> 00:27:24,804 ProMotion. Again, it's, one device only. No additional 706 00:27:24,804 --> 00:27:27,944 modules needed to have this, feature and capability 707 00:27:28,404 --> 00:27:30,505 resident on the unit itself. 708 00:27:30,964 --> 00:27:31,944 Oh, any questions? 709 00:27:32,419 --> 00:27:34,259 No. I just had a little reflection. I 710 00:27:34,259 --> 00:27:36,200 mean, I'm just thinking about how, 711 00:27:37,140 --> 00:27:38,579 you know, we get this device. You can 712 00:27:38,579 --> 00:27:40,659 get it with the industrial protocols. You could 713 00:27:40,659 --> 00:27:42,919 add two more industrial protocols, 714 00:27:43,940 --> 00:27:45,539 to it, the, you know, the CAN bus 715 00:27:45,539 --> 00:27:48,194 or EtherCAT or, you know, the others. 716 00:27:49,154 --> 00:27:51,315 Then you can add 12 additional modules, safe 717 00:27:51,315 --> 00:27:53,795 or non safe. So it it's just to 718 00:27:53,795 --> 00:27:55,335 me. I mean, like, it's this flexible, 719 00:27:56,914 --> 00:27:59,575 safety controller that does motion, 720 00:28:00,035 --> 00:28:01,875 right, safe speed, or all all the six 721 00:28:01,875 --> 00:28:02,694 that you mentioned 722 00:28:03,019 --> 00:28:04,940 in addition to having all those all that 723 00:28:04,940 --> 00:28:05,440 expandability. 724 00:28:06,619 --> 00:28:07,899 It just brings me back to when you 725 00:28:07,899 --> 00:28:09,419 were here in the office, and we filmed 726 00:28:09,419 --> 00:28:10,159 that episode 727 00:28:10,460 --> 00:28:12,779 on the Samos Pro Compact, I believe it 728 00:28:12,779 --> 00:28:15,740 was. Yes. Exactly. And and and, you know, 729 00:28:15,740 --> 00:28:17,419 I probably should throw out there too that, 730 00:28:18,154 --> 00:28:19,994 you know, these guys don't just make the 731 00:28:19,994 --> 00:28:22,154 safety controller. They make HMIs and all kinds 732 00:28:22,154 --> 00:28:24,154 of other stuff as well as we talked 733 00:28:24,154 --> 00:28:25,274 about in that, 734 00:28:25,835 --> 00:28:28,095 in that video. But, you know, 735 00:28:28,474 --> 00:28:30,634 Michael, was there anything else you wanted to 736 00:28:30,634 --> 00:28:32,335 cover? I do want you to give you 737 00:28:32,450 --> 00:28:34,369 you to spell out your for anybody who's 738 00:28:34,369 --> 00:28:37,170 driving, spell out your, your website for them 739 00:28:37,170 --> 00:28:38,289 so they they know how to get to 740 00:28:38,289 --> 00:28:40,369 your website. But is there also anything else 741 00:28:40,369 --> 00:28:42,069 you wanted to cover in today's show? 742 00:28:42,369 --> 00:28:43,910 Well, let me get to the website. 743 00:28:44,450 --> 00:28:49,945 It's, www.wheland-electric.com. 744 00:28:50,245 --> 00:28:52,005 Okay. That's our North American, 745 00:28:52,325 --> 00:28:54,404 website. We're a German company, but that's our 746 00:28:54,404 --> 00:28:55,545 North American website. 747 00:28:55,845 --> 00:28:56,904 Nice. Okay. 748 00:28:57,765 --> 00:28:58,265 And, 749 00:28:58,725 --> 00:29:00,585 to follow-up on what you mentioned, 750 00:29:01,205 --> 00:29:03,305 when we had our our studio session, 751 00:29:04,349 --> 00:29:06,589 The the the demo that I ran through 752 00:29:06,589 --> 00:29:09,070 was a perfect example of how a, 753 00:29:09,549 --> 00:29:10,190 a motion, 754 00:29:10,589 --> 00:29:11,950 controller like this, 755 00:29:12,269 --> 00:29:14,609 integrates nicely into a safety cell. 756 00:29:15,070 --> 00:29:17,265 Look, we fed various safety, 757 00:29:17,965 --> 00:29:18,785 input devices, 758 00:29:19,164 --> 00:29:22,125 into that demo. Okay? We had, an e 759 00:29:22,125 --> 00:29:24,605 stop on there. We had three types of 760 00:29:24,605 --> 00:29:25,345 door interlocks. 761 00:29:26,365 --> 00:29:27,904 We had light curtains. 762 00:29:28,559 --> 00:29:32,079 We had a, a proximity sensor actually, if 763 00:29:32,079 --> 00:29:34,000 you recall, where you could, like, you know, 764 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,839 come closer and closer and then have a 765 00:29:35,839 --> 00:29:38,079 position where you say, okay. Any closer than 766 00:29:38,079 --> 00:29:40,399 that is considered unsafe, and that would trip 767 00:29:40,399 --> 00:29:40,899 the, 768 00:29:41,519 --> 00:29:42,819 the the safety itself. 769 00:29:44,045 --> 00:29:46,944 So what we've added now to that, portfolio 770 00:29:47,565 --> 00:29:48,065 is, 771 00:29:48,765 --> 00:29:50,865 motor shaft performance, meaning, 772 00:29:51,964 --> 00:29:52,464 speed, 773 00:29:52,765 --> 00:29:55,404 direction, and position. And that demo actually had 774 00:29:55,404 --> 00:29:56,730 it. It doesn't really, 775 00:29:57,450 --> 00:29:59,710 show itself very well, but it hidden inside 776 00:30:00,009 --> 00:30:00,910 is a motor 777 00:30:01,289 --> 00:30:03,049 and there's a belt. And the belt is 778 00:30:03,049 --> 00:30:04,509 attached to a shaft, 779 00:30:05,049 --> 00:30:07,609 encoder. And an encoder now is picking up 780 00:30:07,609 --> 00:30:09,904 what's going on with that motor. It identifies 781 00:30:10,045 --> 00:30:12,365 its speed, it identifies its position, and it 782 00:30:12,365 --> 00:30:15,765 also identifies its direction. And depending on a 783 00:30:15,765 --> 00:30:18,684 a real life application, all those devices could 784 00:30:18,684 --> 00:30:19,184 be, 785 00:30:20,125 --> 00:30:23,005 spread out throughout the machine, and you're trying 786 00:30:23,005 --> 00:30:24,225 to capture 787 00:30:25,049 --> 00:30:25,450 a, 788 00:30:25,849 --> 00:30:28,329 an image of the safe condition of the 789 00:30:28,329 --> 00:30:31,049 machine, whether someone is stepping on a safety 790 00:30:31,049 --> 00:30:33,609 mat, or someone is, putting a hand in 791 00:30:33,609 --> 00:30:34,109 somewhere, 792 00:30:34,490 --> 00:30:36,429 or if the machine reaches, 793 00:30:36,809 --> 00:30:39,630 an unsafe speed or an unsafe position, 794 00:30:39,964 --> 00:30:42,785 You're monitoring all that with that safety controller. 795 00:30:43,164 --> 00:30:45,505 And and to your point about the expandability, 796 00:30:46,285 --> 00:30:47,424 your first iteration 797 00:30:47,964 --> 00:30:50,305 may include, you know, four or five modules. 798 00:30:50,525 --> 00:30:52,845 But as you saw in the presentation, you 799 00:30:52,845 --> 00:30:53,519 have that 800 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:54,500 scalability 801 00:30:55,039 --> 00:30:58,240 as your needs grow, so can this base 802 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,200 module system grow with you. So you can 803 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,000 continue to add, more and more as your 804 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,894 needs and as your safety needs, 805 00:31:06,375 --> 00:31:08,535 continue to grow. Yeah. I can definitely see, 806 00:31:08,535 --> 00:31:10,695 like, an OEM, they'll have different machines. Some 807 00:31:10,695 --> 00:31:12,234 are more complicated than others. 808 00:31:12,855 --> 00:31:15,095 So on some machines, they'll need more safety 809 00:31:15,095 --> 00:31:17,575 IO than others. So that's a very good 810 00:31:17,575 --> 00:31:19,734 point, and, just wanna thank you again, Michael, 811 00:31:19,734 --> 00:31:21,710 for coming back on the show and bringing 812 00:31:21,710 --> 00:31:23,470 us up to speed. I just found that 813 00:31:23,470 --> 00:31:26,029 presentation so interesting as you went through all 814 00:31:26,029 --> 00:31:26,589 the different, 815 00:31:26,990 --> 00:31:28,450 motion safety applications 816 00:31:29,150 --> 00:31:30,829 where you need them on, you know, safe 817 00:31:30,829 --> 00:31:33,950 speeds and whatnot. So safe directions, you know, 818 00:31:33,950 --> 00:31:36,109 so important on these, type of systems that 819 00:31:36,109 --> 00:31:37,865 you went through. But in any case, really 820 00:31:37,865 --> 00:31:39,724 just wanna thank you again for coming on. 821 00:31:39,865 --> 00:31:41,304 Oh, I appreciate it, Sean. Thank you for 822 00:31:41,304 --> 00:31:42,825 having me. Well, I hope you enjoyed that 823 00:31:42,825 --> 00:31:44,585 episode, and I wanna thank Michael for coming 824 00:31:44,585 --> 00:31:46,505 back on the show to bring us up 825 00:31:46,505 --> 00:31:48,125 to speed on the Samos 826 00:31:48,505 --> 00:31:49,005 ProMotion 827 00:31:49,384 --> 00:31:51,859 Safety Controller. I learned a lot. I really 828 00:31:51,859 --> 00:31:53,799 enjoyed seeing all those different applications 829 00:31:54,419 --> 00:31:56,099 that the product can be used in. Very 830 00:31:56,099 --> 00:31:58,519 interesting stuff and how you make those applications 831 00:31:58,659 --> 00:32:01,140 safe by monitoring different things. And so I 832 00:32:01,140 --> 00:32:02,980 hope you guys enjoyed this episode as well. 833 00:32:02,980 --> 00:32:04,679 I also wanna thank Wheelan Electric 834 00:32:05,365 --> 00:32:07,365 for sponsoring this episode so we can make 835 00:32:07,365 --> 00:32:10,085 it ad free.
