PLC nameplates are Ideogram on the rack, not Veo keycaps
Stamp the catalog number on the CPU face in Ideogram; do not ask a video model to typeset I/O counts, and skip the talking controls engineer.
Stamp the catalog number on the CPU face in Ideogram. Do not ask a video model to typeset I/O counts. No talking controls engineer.
A PLC listing is a nameplate. Catalog number, firmware family, the window on the CPU, the exact I/O count the datasheet already printed. The buyer is matching a rack they already specified. Invented keycaps are a different SKU. A constructed engineer walking scan time is a different ad.
The nameplate is a catalog number, not a scene
The part number has to read. If it does not survive zoom, the clip is a drawing of a cousin CPU. Text-to-video and talking rows will happily letter a plausible module that is not in the book: extra LEDs, a melted catalog string, an Ethernet count you do not sell.
Photograph the rack if you already have the hardware. If you are still in artwork — a new faceplate, a new stamp — the still comes first, and the still has to typeset. AI product video is the later hold: reference photos of the real module, camera around it, label check at 100 percent. Fine text is the first thing a video model loses.
Do not start in Veo and "fix the letters in post." You will ship a rack that never existed.
Ideogram V4 stamps the CPU face
Ideogram V4 is the text-to-image row for posters, logos, and letters that have to hold: 6 credits, crisp type, not a video model. Prompt the faceplate you need — catalog string, LED window, DIN-rail ear — and read the output at 100 percent before anyone animates it. If the string is wrong, regenerate the still. Do not send a misspelled CPU into image-to-video and hope motion hides it.
Aspects on the row: 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4. Square if the module is the hero. Wide if the rack is. Vertical if the feed is. Ideogram is not a generate of a plant. It is a generate of a nameplate.
Write the catalog number in the prompt the way it appears in the book. Do not paraphrase "a mid-range PLC with lots of I/O." Lots of I/O is how you get a 32 where you stock a 16.
Once the still letters, motion is a second job. Product video around an approved plate. Overlay if the plate already exists and you only need one more line.
Veo keycaps are invented I/O
Veo 3.1 is native audio, official 4K tier, 4 / 6 / 8 second clips. That is the cinematic talking row. "Controls engineer at a panel, explaining scan time, keypad close-up" on Veo is how you spend the expensive talking meter on invented glyphs and a constructed expert.
The keypad will not be your keypad. The I/O count will not be your I/O count. The mouth will talk like a person who knows the rack. That last part is the problem even when the letters happen to look sharp. You do not need a host. You need a stamp.
A talking controls engineer is out of scope for the listing. Keep lips out of the rack. If a real named application engineer must speak, film that person. Generation can still do the CPU face. It cannot be the adviser.
Overlay if the rack still already exists
When the hardware photo already letters the nameplate, do not re-Ideogram it. Add a text overlay burns one authored line — catalog, firmware, "see I/O table" — whole clip, top / center / bottom. It does not transcribe. It does not invent a 32-point card. Type the string after picture lock.
Video models do not typeset I/O counts. Overlay does. Ideogram does, on a still, when you do not yet have the photo. Pick one. Mixing them — Veo keypad plus overlay "correction" — is two bills and a plate that still lies in the first frame.
AI video for electricians is the nearby crew page: panel work, safety, a van. It is not a PLC OEM nameplate. Do not rewrite that page as a catalog clip. AI video for manufacturers is the plant floor for buyers and recruitment. Different still: line rate, not a CPU window. This page is the module stamp.
FAQ
Can Veo 3.1 letter the catalog number if I put it in quotes?
No. A quoted string in a video prompt is not typesetting. You will get cousin keycaps. Stamp the face in Ideogram, or overlay the string you typed on a photo you already own.
Why 6 credits on Ideogram instead of a 4K talking generate?
Because the job is a nameplate. Ideogram V4 is 6 credits, text-to-image, letters that have to hold. Veo 3.1 is 4 / 6 / 8 seconds, native audio, 4K — the talking row. A PLC listing does not want that mouth.
Is /for/electricians the page for PLC content?
It is the install crew: panels, hazards, fixture upgrades. PLC OEM is the catalog number on the CPU face. Do not rewrite the electrician audience as a rack listing.
Do I still overlay if Ideogram already printed the part number?
Only if you need a second line the still does not carry — a firmware note, a CTA. Do not overlay a correction of a misspelled stamp. Fix the still. Then, if you need motion, product-video the approved plate.
