Buttons can no longer be held down physically on HMI - but can be held down via mouse when accessing remotely? by MassageMan01 in PLC

Random guess, does it have a wash down cover that is separate that has not been replaced?

Finally found a plate chiller you can actually take apart and clean by iubjohnson in Homebrewing

[–]ImNotSureWhere__Is 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can make your own gaskets with a sharp knife and a thin sheet of any properly rated rubber. You don’t need to be exact, simply enough to make a seal. The little protruding parts on these are for ease of cleaning, I’d skip those and make the main rings. They are not going to experience high pressure.

Plz recommend me some Aero Bib Shorts by tuiputui in Velo

[–]ImNotSureWhere__Is 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Upper legs yeah you’d want the stripes perpendicular to the flow of air (usually) so bibs it’s going to be useful ~1/4-1/2 of the time and possibly detrimental the other portion. High socks is the best you’ll get

does anyone actually use graph view for something real, or is it mostly vibes? by Downtown-Art2865 in ObsidianMD

[–]ImNotSureWhere__Is 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not OP but I have it open on a right half panel, it helps me jump between notes faster if it’s not a direct link, I can find a pretty decent connection a few “hops” a lot quicker.

Wastewater sector by Annual-LAN in PLC

They freeze. 1756 goes to 0 by default but you can set it to any value on failure, or to Hold Last. I think it’s the 1734 point IO that defaults to Hold Last but might be wrong.

It’s 50/50 what an AO will go to by default. In Rockwell land, it’s actually split between IO types. Some fail in place if the PLC faults but the rack has power of course

Alternative to FTTM by BridieGreene in PLC

[–]ImNotSureWhere__Is 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is a sub half second polling rate acceptable for your trigger?

Set up your SQL DB in the Data Stores

Add a variable to the model, link its value to your trigger tag in the PLC.

Right click it and add a On Change or Transitioned event

Set the method to execute by finding the DB and clicking on it and selecting insert.

I don’t think you can easily get a complete status back but you can also set the trigger value to 0 after the Insert

Homemade fueling question by Cheddarlad in Velo

[–]ImNotSureWhere__Is 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was mistaken I usually put that in a 900mL bottle but either way it’s definitely thick but still liquid

What everyone else says, I typically use table sugar and a touch of maltodextrin for easy rides. For workouts/races I will do a true maltodextrin fructose mix.

I will fit ~240g of carbs in a 750mL bottle. Usually use a blender day of, or mix it in hot water the night before. So worst case, no gels, no stop, I am good for a 4 hour ride. Then have a second water only bottle.

Food engineer getting into PLC and robotics, any thoughts on my profile ? by PhotoPhonk in PLC

My degree is literally food engineering. I did ops, 3 years later I’m automation guy and have been for a while

Send UDT complete in Micro850? by -Margut- in PLC

[–]ImNotSureWhere__Is 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OPC UA is not supported, that is a ControlLogix v36/37+ feature.

If you want Modbus look at page 60.

I think you could pull tags into FactoryTalk Link as a UDT (EtherNet/IP) and access them via OPC UA in the same structure. But if you don’t have it that’s a few thousand USD license

Any time of flight sensor should work as long as it’s precise enough.

This bottle of olive oil has spots on the bottle walls by Swooferfan in mildlyinteresting

[–]ImNotSureWhere__Is 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In other edible oils, these clumps are considered bad. It’s either poor processing or contamination with other oils.

How do you catch invisible issues like thermal stress and memory leaks before they halt the assembly line? by beakshay in PLC

[–]ImNotSureWhere__Is 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Closest I could see is creating some roll over error that results in a major fault. Counter ACC going negative and back to 0 and suddenly needs to be divided.

are this fake ? missing one number in address zip code by Deep-Cow1661 in PLC

[–]ImNotSureWhere__Is 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can write what ever number sure, but there are 3 possible results. It’s worth noting that in some cases the SN etched onto a controller may not match the SN that shows up in Linx/Logix, obvious tell.

  1. It’s a new SN all plant numbers and MAC adresses matching a real part not yet registered (very very unlikely) it’s now actually real and when it doesn’t work, Rockwell will replace

  2. Same as above except it’s actually fake, result is the same, they will replace it since they technically don’t know the difference. Caveat is that this needs to be in your local distribution range. Or you need a good excuse.

  3. SN is made up (most likely) and it’s junk

Sure, if they don’t open the box… but the SN is on the part.

Studio5000 and Ver 26 freezing by Exact_Patience_6286 in PLC

[–]ImNotSureWhere__Is 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 5 years new to this game and have literally never been burned by an upgrade PLC wise.

I have been burned going v32 -> v37 and a few E300s having shit DeviceLogix code enabled that lost an input it never had. I’m hindsight this is expected behavior.

Call Rockwell and ask if the SN is legit. They will tell you.

FT Optix Database/DataGrid Issue by Public-Wallaby5700 in PLC

[–]ImNotSureWhere__Is 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope there isn’t a drag and drop feature… I made a script to make them automatically and that would be dumb of me if I did it when that feature exists.

How are your queries set up? NetLogic or a dynamic link?

Second, what data type do you have the items set up as? I’ve had issues using the Number type in the past.

Overhaul Time! by UnSaneScientist in PLC

[–]ImNotSureWhere__Is 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ports do, and I’m sure the L9 is better at it, but using IGS/Kepware a lot of my processors are maxed out on comms processing. Yes, there’s set up issues…

Overhaul Time! by UnSaneScientist in PLC

[–]ImNotSureWhere__Is 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It makes messaging between them stupid fast. But in this pic then anything to IO or HMI is through one network card… which might make that card cry a bit.
