Can you promote here?
Promotion is allowed only with moderator permission (or inside designated threads). A short, honest modmail before posting costs two minutes and functions as a safe-conduct pass; skipping it is the most common avoidable removal.
From the rules · Instant ban for AI-generated posts; ads/self-promotion must go in the weekly thread or be explicitly mod-approved and flaired.

What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: question, discussion, news
Title: short, specific technical question or descriptive news headline (if asking, put the actual question in the title). Write in first person for troubleshooting (e.g., “Why won't my S7-1200 set a boolean?”) or neutral third person for news/articles. Keep posts concise, include PLC model, code/config snippets, and error symptoms. Tone: professional, civil, technical. Upvoted: clear troubleshooting, useful code/config, lab-tested solutions, industry news. Removed: overt ads, product pitches, vague “help me” posts, and AI-generated content.
Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.
Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked July 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/plc's rules page before posting anything that matters.
Thread Otter checks this before every send
These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
