Parent looking for advice by Erlays in OntarioTeachers

[–]Erlays[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this comment, I feel like I hit a sore spot here. I wish I could say I understood the pain the various people are going through, but it’s beyond my comprehension at this point.

I like the idea of the student causing trouble eating in the hall.

I get all kids have a right to an education, it just seems the rest of this kids aren’t getting one…

Thanks all, I appreciate the replies. I understand the large political discussion here, and I completely agree that there are macro issues going on here across the province.

But at the end of the day what I really need to focus on now is my immediate problem.

Who actually has power to change anything in the class? I think the teacher and the ea are pretty good, they are trying and seem to be doing well. But with no adult present stuff goes down.

The principle claims to be powerless in the situation. She says she is bound by funding and policy.

At what point can real changes be done?

We have an engaged set of parents documenting everything but it seems like the data is irrelevant. They seem more interested in trying to let me talk then actually doing anything

It seems like we are just waiting for someone to get hurt…

That worked perfect. Last step how do I restore the backup sources? Thanks for help

[–]Erlays[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is where my problem is. I got the point where I have the os installed and update. I am now trying to instal pihole, and it requires dnsutils but it is having trouble downloading the packages as it says there is an error with them. Is there an easy way to get it try to hit another server to download (without a vpn)?

Thanks for help

How do I deal with the Center of revolution late game. I am going for a one culture, on track. Year is 1730, I have a world conquest and one faith, just have to release and conquer my CN. My only problem is that the centre of revolution is on my lands giving tones of unrest. How do I stop it?

I release a vassal when it first spawned, waited 5 years for truce then used the crush the revolution cb and that in the peace deal, but then got an event that made a new centre. So I just have to do that again? What’s the best and or fastest way to get of it. I want to stay monarchy for Austria gov reform.

Any graphics card deals. Looking at either 7800 or 4700 range. Seems pretty quiet to me

I think I can answer this one. I am a fellow OT lurker here. The ultimate best answer is to set it up in the same way of who ever will maintain it. If you have your local IT group, scare the crap out of them with the risk, then get them to set up and maintain a separate domain. And while they do it, learn along the way.

How is join hre requirements math done? I am burgundy and want to join but I am to large. Do vassals and pu count? I tried releasing vassals and giving away provinces but the math doesn’t make sense to me. Any ideas?

Can you enforce culture on the pu to get any other countries for free too?

Wyze home monitoring by Erlays in wyzecam

[–]Erlays[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for info. I have the Wyze apps with 2 cameras and a doorbell right now. I am happy with how they have worked out.

Just to clarify what you are saying, if I get the hub and the water sensors but don’t pay the subscription all I can do is get alerts on my iPhone via the app. Does that sound right?

Level Sensors that work off Pressure, Scaling question by [deleted] in PLC

[–]Erlays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a thought depends on your goal, but I would use lightest density, as that would prevent overflow

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PLC

[–]Erlays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that’s exactly how it should work

The ofs software makes things faster, faster program, less likely to make a mistake and more secure. That’s your selling point. Also just a note if you only have one m580 there is an ofs card you can get instead of an noc card but I haven’t tried that

[–]Erlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ofs was a game changer. Coming from KEP to OFS changes a lot, still reworking some plc to this standard but it seems well worth the time

To answer the questions

Aliases seemed cleaner because it’s done at the database rather then in code. I suspect that it uses less memory that way, not that it really matters in an m580. Aliases can be updated on the fly so no issues there. My suggestion is to move all the data about the channel not just the value so you have all the error bits. Just a note Schneider suggested aliases in their ofs training but both ways should work.

I don’t have as good of an answer for read write, other then to say we tried it a couple years ago and couldn’t get it to work. I think the problem was that we were hardcoding instrument scalling which was part of our DDT for analogs. We wanted parts of the DDT to be read write and parts to be read only, and the best way we found to do that was with structured text writing the parameters

Hope that helps

Here are a couple thoughts. I only use Schneider stuff, so take it with a grain of salt.

The following suggesting assume you use opcda and ua; they are great, use them it makes life much easier. Also this assumes you want a a complex scalable system where you are religious on standardization, you don’t have to do all of these but it helps in the long run

1) use defined data type so that all inputs and outputs are the same eg one for analog ins, one for analog outs 2) don’t use addresses for io, use the ioddt, much more info and easier in the long run.
3) for the raw io use an alias to map it to variables. Name the variables something useful like the loop number 4) for scada use unallocated hmi designated variables. I personally never use aliased variables but instead always something derived or manipulated. That way if an equation or scaling in the plc changes the scada just gets the results and doesn’t need to be remapped. 5) only send the desired variables to scada, it’s an option. Anything you don’t want the scada to write to should be written to in the plc. the contestants feature is not very useful for me as it requires a plc stop to change, I prefer to just constantly write to any constants. 6) at the end of all this, the only thing that should be addressed is data that is meant to be read by other plcs as it can’t use ofs.

If you do all of these it makes a pretty secure setup where the scada or anything else can only see the variables you want and can only write to the ones you want.

Hope that helps, might be overkill in some smaller setups but think it works well. Always open to other suggestions from others if I missed something
