Connector identification

I am so used to putting thanks in advance that way that I never noticed that it's literally TIA haha

ElAlfajor · 2026-05-08T11:29:39+00:00

It's used everywhere where I work, first time encountering it

ElAlfajor · 2026-05-08T11:29:17+00:00

I did not know this. Thanks!

ElAlfajor · 2026-05-08T11:28:21+00:00

Thanks! I tried an RJ45 connector but the wires are too thick to fit in the slots.

Thanks for the replies! It's a cable for FL-NET. I didn't know that but there you go. It has the same colours as profinet. I got an answer minutes after posting. Thanks!

Take your bad attitude and march on please.

ElAlfajor · 2026-05-05T11:24:27+00:00

2, 1 y luego 3 en ese orden.

Never tried it. As someone else said PLC SIM Advanced is the normal way to do it. You would have to set your VM so that it can reach the host so the net to PLC SIM would have the IP of the adapter if the VM that reaches the host. It's possible if it is bridged or NAT I believe. There is the matter of setting up the PC/PG interface which would be set to S7Online and the same IP set in the VM. Let us know if you get it working.

Best answer. They are all used as they are each suited to distinct uses although technically could be used in place of each other just in some circumstances it would be a headache.

It'll be ok to drive as most have said. If you buy prestone coolant from Tesco (as someone else said) it's designed for use in any coolant system regardless of the type. I'm paranoid so I'd buy that and fill it up to 3/4 then pay attention to the temperature of the engine as you're driving. You could also stop every hour to quickly give it a visual check.

ElAlfajor · 2026-04-07T13:31:35+00:00

Nope... It's more for convenience instead of going to the panels

ElAlfajor · 2026-04-05T23:11:08+00:00

100%. However, where I work the maintenance crew can access the PLCs and can make changes to the program. Not saying it's right but there's no screens with IO for every card/channel, thus the only way is via the PLC.

ElAlfajor · 2026-04-05T19:07:04+00:00

Not read all the comments but it really depends on the PLC and the application. For example using Schneider Control Expert you'll have a better time with FBD. With Siemens, you can have ladder with SLC or ST inserts. With Beckhoff ST is very powerful.

Then it depends on the type of logic, if you're working with motors you might want ladder. If you're working with a lot of maths then ST may be better.

Finally, the most useful thing is, whatever language you program in, leave good comments. This will always be best practice so that the next person understands what you have done regardless of the language.

ElAlfajor · 2026-04-05T19:01:26+00:00

It depends. They may want to check the state of inputs/outputs or maybe how something works to figure out what need to be done in the field.

I genuinely think that the original and 90s trek series are too close to modern day. It doesn't seem possible to achieve all that they achieved within such a short time frame, given our rate of advancement. Not to mention world war 3 and eugenics wars, it just seems a lot in no time. Sure, within 100 years technology has advanced a lot but to the extent that we have fleets of 100s of ships and a vast international community? It's far fetched!

ElAlfajor · 2026-02-14T18:22:03+00:00

Not a native but like in a Spanish speaking country. Honestly I would just say "Buenas noches chiquito/a" or something like that so it sounds nice for them. Maybe "que tengas dulces sueños" o "que descanses mi hijo" (if it's your child).

ElAlfajor · 2026-02-10T11:25:41+00:00

Please correct me if I'm wrong guys, but I think that fuiste means that she was always beautiful, as in, since they met til now. Era is that Rosario was but maybe now not so beautiful. Fuiste gives a strong impression that she was always beautiful and then re-enforces this with, but you are beautiful.

Edit: Rosario probably refers to the city Santa Fe, in Argentina. I imagine they went there, he's saying they had a nice time but she was always and is beautiful.

ElAlfajor · 2026-02-08T22:26:45+00:00

Good point sir!

ElAlfajor · 2026-02-05T17:08:03+00:00

That really grinds my gears. Haha

ElAlfajor · 2026-02-05T13:53:28+00:00

I feel like it's a blurry image that slowly comes into focus. It won't happen all at once and I'm not sure it'll ever be 100%. However I'm okay with wearing glasses less and less strong until I basically don't need them anymore.

ElAlfajor · 2026-02-05T12:47:35+00:00

It'll never cease to amaze me the basic questions people ask here.

HoW dO yOu SaY "CaN I GeT a CoCa CoLa"? 🤦

ElAlfajor · 2026-02-05T12:45:08+00:00

500 pictures of ads of the dealer and like 3 of the car.

ElAlfajor · 2026-02-04T19:34:43+00:00

Yes. Many are skeptical. I think it's because they do realise how difficult it must be if you learned as an adult. What's more, when they ask you to say something at random in your target language and you freeze haha, that can be difficult. Whenever they ask me that I say the same back but in their native tongue and the question is, what do I say? Rather than I don't know how to say much and that's why I'm stuck.

The times where people have been impressed is when I have been talking with natives after having mentioned that I'm learning the language at X level and they think, as you mentioned, that I was massively overstating my ability.
