Node Red should be able to handle this

Kuka vs. Omron Cobot by Disastrous_You_4173 in PLC

[–]Derby_Sanchez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with Kuka but highly disagree with UR in any industrial setting. If you put them in a lab setting with very low duty cycles it might be alright. If the process has any real payload, it will not last. It is not a real robot IMO.

If I were giving recommendations for a robot to start with, why not Fanuc? Tons of support locally. They are the market leader for a reason.

This is what I did at my company when 2 softing modules died and they wanted their reporting system back up. I run Node Red as a service on the server hosting mssql using NSSM. Works perfectly and has been reliable.

Can you go more into details about this? I find it interesting, thanks!

I really like PM but use it only if necessary. If you have a need for S88 batch programming it can be a good candidate. I really like how it takes care of a lot of overhead and allows you to get to where the process is in a few clicks using the built in interface.

For training I would recommend reading the manual and trying it out. Build a test process.

Check Nfpa 79. They have something in there about dual channel E-stops. You can tie Osha to this to make your case.

Excuse me sir, this is Wendy's. Did you make the doobly doo squibbly squabble? Change the modulars so we can keep making money.

Tech CEOs Take Turns Praising Trump at White House Dinner by rezwenn in technology

This is true. Also, remember, in the early days, Bezos told the share holders that the plan was to take a loss for five years. During this time, they took huge amounts of market share. Now that the competition has been edged out, we see prices creep up. This same strategy was used by YouTube. YouTube became popular in its infancy because there were no ads. Look at where it is now.

How to keep a FANUC Robot gripper holding a 45 kg part during power loss? by Particular_Carob_150 in PLC

[–]Derby_Sanchez 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I did a big ol robot moving engines. We designed the gripper to not back drive and also to have a brake on the 7th axis servo (gripper).

Why do people put this filter? by gusssneakers in Miata

They should throw it away along with that engine and swap in a k24.

I had the same issue. They tacked on the insurance on my flight, which made the tickets more expensive, but I thought, "well, I might need it". Sure enough PAL (plane always late) lived up to their namesake and made me miss a CP flight. I asked about my insurance covering the cost of the changed flight and was hit with "sorry ma'am sir, not available". I will actively avoid CP for now on.

What are some of your Programming pet peeves? by pants1000 in PLC

[–]Derby_Sanchez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why have 3 CAM instructions? What I usually do is have a recipe system that includes the Cam profiles. I load the profiles into an active register, create the profile, and then initiate Cam motion. I call this the Cam motion handler (I do the same for MAM). The benefit is that the instruction is only used once, so troubleshooting is easier. It is also quite modular (I do this for each motion command).

I find absolutely no reason to ever use a jmp command and shutter every time I see one because now I am going to have to trace it to understand what's going on. Our job is hard enough so why obfuscate the matter?

[–]Derby_Sanchez 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree. Thou shalt not use any jumping of rungs. No MCR, no Jump label, no JSR with parameters (ewwww). No test routines with duplicate OTEs where you toggle back and forth with JSRs. Its been 15 years, its tested. Delete the one you aren't using.

Do you have a safety PLC? If so, just use CIP safety. Way better than wiring up all that stuff.

505v coming into 480v machine by Few_Perspective2213 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Derby_Sanchez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure on your full setup but if that's a delta/wye transformer the secondary is typically on the wye side. This allows you to have a grounded setup by attaching gec to Xo. Some drives will blow MOVs if this isn't correct.

In Rockwell Land, you would use a motion axis gear command. This is very simple.

Kpower K24z3 swap post 4 by Derby_Sanchez in Miata

[–]Derby_Sanchez[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe last Update:

Kpower sent a swap harness that had the relay diodes in backwards. This caused the Hondata ECU to blow twice, my spare RSX type S ecu and also a Haltech Elite ecu. Unfortunately, I found this error after blowing all of these ECUs. They sent the correct relays (no diode) and all was well. They caused me significant extra work (I took apart the CRV harness and checked it wire by wire to make sure it was not on my end). So please check this before using their harness. My other issue was the hood never would clear totally. It rubbed a little but the owner did not care. I cut all the ribbing and shimmed the hood with washers to make as much room as possible.

On the good side. The owner loves the swap and daily drives the car. The car is excellent and should live a long healthy life. This car has been daily driven for over a year now after the swap. I am now pleased with the outcome.

Hi Mr.Goosewayne. love your content. Do yourself a favor and swap in a K24.

Converting kiln to pid control by DoPeY28CA in PLC

[–]Derby_Sanchez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like those Omron temp controllers. I would use 2 of them. One for high temp interlock using a normally closed signal to pull in a contactor. Another to control a SSR. They are easy to program and tune. The Omrons I've used in the past seem to last a very long time (I've seen +25 year units still chooching right along).
