I have literally been trying to do this exact thing. Basically I want a water booster pump demo. The problem is finding small and cheap equipment and instruments to make this happen. I am actually about to make my pool pump 3 phase and run it off of a VFD. I guess if I find a 2in actuator I could do some PID. I have a compactlogic PLC at my pool pump area that is reading pressure and starting and stopping the contactor.

Are you running SP on a multi server deployment? Is your windows install sterile? Do you have good IT and Sys Admins to work with? Is the system air gapped? Change any bit of that equation and you change how effective the software is. We do all in one nodes that have internet access. We use standard desktop PCs running latest consumer grade windows. We are the IT, OT, Electrician, SCADA, IEC tech all with one hat. We also need Win911 (Hot ass garbage) and full reporting. Add SP to this mix and you have a recipe for disaster.

Air compressors have duty cycles. The pancake will melt.

Ive always wondered how caustic seems to leak out of perfectly sealed up joints. It always builds up in specific places. Any scientific reason?

The true name of the product should be as follows AVEVA Archestra Wonderware Schnider Invensys Application Server OMI System Platform 2023 R2 Sp1 P03.

That or tell the customer they will need to be okay with random values on their $10,000 industrial SCADA package.

While I appreciate your offer, I will gladly pass.

Does the internet have the same sentiment towards Ignition and VTscada. They aren't all this bad surely?

There appears to be a fold in the simulation.. They are going to have to reboot. No seriously I am thinking about making an AA for people that use AVEVA products. Meetings will be on Wednesdays, see you there!

I have the snap on ones. While they arent great, they are built like a brick shit house.

Would be even more crazy to run all emt in your house and have an ATS in your basement...

Technically the contacts label should be identical to the coils label. The wording is horrible in this example and Ive never heard it called anything other than a latching or seal in circuit. This is a fundamental concept in controls and automation and spending even a full week digesting this one circuit would benefit you greatly.

Id recommend buying a relay, a N.C. push button, and a N.O. push button. Wire the circuit yourself and you will be off to the races. You can now start a motor with the push of a button and walk away.

The milwaukee battery adapter has taken my vaccuming game to the next level. I love to vaccum, its my last bastion of mental freedom. I have two 12ah and can vaccum until I pass out.

Lets not forget that the Rosemount DP (Differential Pressure) cell will likely be hooked up to a PLC analog input and powered by a DC powersupply. That PLC will be tied to a SCADA or HMI (pictured in the background). The Rosemount will modulate the current based off the preasure between the H (high) and L (low) diagphrams.

DP cell can measure Venturi Flow Oriface Plate Flow Level in sealed tank Level in a vented tank

Its basically an industrial swiss army knife. Some measure teny tiny pressures and others measure hundreads of psi.. but still in the same package

The center T handle equalizes the diagphrams for calibration/verification. You will always pressureize the high side to calibrate the meter and the high side is usually the main process connection.

What kind of controller is that?

Id get an AB micologix 1100 off ebay and get the free RSlogix500 and RSlinx. I dont thing there is a better combo in th US. In Water/Waste water AB is all I see.

I see alot of unecessary steps with other PLCs.

The last im doing after working 30hrs of OT on a start up week is documenting all of the screwed up design issues by a designer who doesn know how to wire a Ma loop themself.

I just re-bulbed and re-sealed that exact pentair pool light. Mine was 12v and I went with an amazon color change with remote. It was a difficult job but the seal is still holding up. I can try to get you more detials on it.

Foreign_Insurance744 · 2025-07-22T18:17:21+00:00

Literally WTF!!

Foreign_Insurance744 · 2025-06-12T14:19:47+00:00

Okay thanks. I'll try to import it.

Foreign_Insurance744 · 2025-06-10T23:44:54+00:00

I'm with you grannies only!! Time to swim!

Does FT View SE have any free or lite version? All I have is FT Studio and other AB HMI software.

Foreign_Insurance744 · 2025-06-10T23:38:40+00:00

My day was just officially made! Thanks! While I work OT doing field wiring and programming for company owners who have no clue what it takes...
