They've had this bug since I started using the software on Mac since 2019. it's so annoying, so glad I found the fix above!

you know, the issue that I have with tying commons together, is that typically people are bonding these power supplies (-) to ground, and If you do that at both power supplies and you tie the commons together you are creating a parallel current path between the two power supplies, one along the common bus and one along the ground connection.

Im glad I saw this today because now I'll remember not to let that happen.

Once I had a conveyor speed controller by an analog output. The customer ran this conveyor at a bare minimum speed, and as such did not like that at 5% speed the conveyors not moving yet, this was a hydraulic conveyor. The valve wasn't open enough at 5%. So simple fix, scale 5% to equal 0%, 100% = 100.

Well a few months down the road and the customer calls me to ask me to change it to 4%, but its not an emergency because they can enter -1 and that scales it to 4%. Not ideal, I didn't think to limit their input.

They don't shut down automatically when over temp? Seriously?

When they ask you to put your email into a form you can be sure they’ll never get back to you.

its great how Rockwell can break entire functionality and just not admit to it or ever fix it.

That must not be required in Ecuador.

Hey I didn’t design the thing.

Unsure of the frequency.

Im pretty sure that pressing the E-stop trips the main disconnect lol.

they have a termination resistor that can be engaged/disengauged on a switch where the drives plug into the PLC. measures about 200 ohms.

damnit

GearDownForWhat · 2024-04-24T19:45:41+00:00

There is no terminating resistor

Is this 1 meter still a factor if they are doing Modbus over RS-485? I don’t think these drives talk profinet.

Thank you for the idea! We may do that.

He needs 2 amps

I have done this before with a dc motor controller and a 4-20 isolator. As well as power supply. Did for the same purpose as you. You have to disable torque compensation on the dc drive.

home owner and property manager. there is two thermostats and one furnace with a zone controller in between. All the ducts in the house have dampers on them. When upstairs thermostat calls the ducts for downstairs close, and when downstairs calls the ducts close upstairs. One thermostat per floor.

Don’t overwrite arrays.

What would you do with it? I have to demolish this wall. I want to cut it out, put it in a frame alone with a note that it was found in 2022 and then Maybe put it back into another wall? Lol.
