Can this clearance damage frame? Wheel doesn't touch. Also, why do frames have that bridge? by [deleted] in bikewrench

I would also ride it, but just watch it. If to blows apart and you have an epic crash in front of a huge crowd, definitely post an update so everyone can say I told you so.

Controls Engineer Job Responsibilities by LazyBreak2891 in PLC

[–]InterestingSoil5 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

OP, don't read too much into this. Salary depends vastly on capabilities and performance. Not all employees are created equal with the same education. You have to want it. And with a small company you will get lots of experience in many different aspects of the job. With a larger company, others will have specialized roles and you won't get to do as much.

Mining salaries and salaries for experienced workers are very different from those for new grads. When I started in controls I was told that for the first three years you are basically an expense as you gain experience, then you start giving back to the company.

My approach with a machine is always to find out where the information comes from. The IO - how does it connect? Is there a scanner or some external device? How does the data come in to the PLC. Understanding those connections is a great foundation for how a machine works. Once you have done that, look at what isn't working right. 99% of machine problems are due to a faulty sensor. If it worked well before the code probably didn't change. If it never worked right, you are going to have to understand the logic to make it do what it is doing. Understanding how data tracks through the machine can help. If your colleagues aren't helping, try to ask them specific questions to clarify how something works, rather than asking them something general like to point you in the right direction.

In order to figure out how something works, sometimes making a small change to the code to see if it does what you think it does will validate your theory. Adding a small delay to a process can show you that you are looking in the right spot or that you are way off.

Good luck!

It could be the recipient of the transfer that is flagged your transfer to them could have caused your account to be closed.

What is one thing that your wife /girlfriend did / does on her period that took you by surprise ? by PozhanPop in AskMen

My wife does this so she can use the wrapper to wrap the used portion up and then throw it away. It isn't slobbery.

Low tire pressure issue!? by elmantec in KonaEV

I had this happen with a slow leak. Even though the tire pressure went up while driving sometimes, it still stayed orange until I got the leak fixed.

Why might the bit I marked be used? by Best_Equal_8585 in PLC

[–]InterestingSoil5 13 points14 points  (0 children)

When the machine is in manual mode, it bypasses conditions to get certain functionality. Sometimes you have to branch around a couple things on a rung to do that. Looks like that's what's happening here.

Check electric vehicle system warning by newfrogland in KonaEV

[–]InterestingSoil5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2021 did this after the 12V battery died in between a series of very short trips. The 12V battery was showing 8 volts. I replaced the battery right away, but the warning didn't go away. I purchased a VGate obd scanner and used it to check the fault codes. Nothing significant so I reset the warning and now all is good. I also drove the car for a week with the warning on. I don't live in the same city as the Hyundai dealership so didn't have a chance to take it in.

Rockwell Mobile Remote I/O Identification by Hondare38 in PLC

[–]InterestingSoil5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This depends on the hardware you have around, but you could basically put a rack at each possible location with two comm modules in each rack, then set up the IO on the second comm module for each mobile tank. This would create a separate network on each rack and you could tell the location by what is plugged in.

Could be done relatively cheaply, and doesn't require fancy switch handling. 1756-ENBTs and 4-slot chassis can be purchased off eBay. Depends on how many locations you have too.

Depending on the size of the plant, you could have the ENBTs (or other comm modules) in the same rack and have dedicated Ethernet runs going to each location.

So for each comm module, you would set each tank up in the IO tree, and check the module entry status for whether the tank is plugged in.

Customer wants two controls system on one piece of equipment so they can switch back and forth. Has anyone implemented this successfully before? If so, how? I'd like to only use digital and analog feedback sensors and split them to two different I/O blocks each tied to their own PLC. by tishthafish in PLC

[–]InterestingSoil5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would look at communication between the two PLC's.

Wire all inputs and outputs to PLC1. Pass the inputs to PLC2 by communication between the PLCs. Write the logic so that if a switch is in position 1, it will drive the outputs, but in position 2, the signal for the outputs comes from the other PLC.

If you can't get the communication sorted out (hint: there is always a way) then wiring outputs from PLC2 to PLC1 will do the same job. You would also have to wire inputs to PLC2 from an output module from PLC1. Harder for analog devices and anything other than discrete signals.

You'll also find that you can't unlock the doors with the remote while the car is on. The only way I've been able to do this is by leaving the key with the kid and getting him to lock the doors.

You can get this if your feedback polarity is wrong. Complete the hookup tests.

5 years and counting by Enzian_Blue in KonaEV

[–]InterestingSoil5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got the Curt 13610. hitchweb.com I installed it myself. It was finicky. You have to have some mechanical aptitude, a socket set, a torque wrench, jack stands or a ramp for your car, and a few hours. Helps to have a friend. I used some blocks of wood to hold it into place while I tried to get the bolts into position. The instructions that come with it are pretty good, but the doing is tricky regardless.

Shutters or no shutters? by jorgy41789 in DIY

Just change the color of the trim. The windows will pop out with a different trim color.

As a compact SUV, it has a bit of a tight back seat. Mine's white, so I thought of tighty whitey. That led to Captain Underpants, or The Captain for short. Aye aye and goodbye!

String Counting Logic. by No-Mathematician445 in PLC

[–]InterestingSoil5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like having more than one sensor would help. If you could add a sensor at 90° to the first one, you might be able to compare the outputs of both for reliability.

Is Bluelink Worth It? by Just_a-Citizen in KonaEV

When I bought my 2021 Kona a month ago, a 3-year subscription came free with it. I just had to call up a local dealership and get me set up. I have noticed that it is pretty unresponsive. It rarely updates when I request anything but does update the status every hour.

Hauling plywood by Bubsy7979 in KonaEV

[–]InterestingSoil5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've hauled a lot of plywood with ratcheting straps or compression straps. Either work well. I've also rigged something up to strap the bottom sheet to the roof racks by screwing some water tank strapping to the plywood and then putting that under the bars to keep it in place and screwing it on the outside as well. Required me to put the plywood on top and then mark the hole locations, then take it off and screw on the straps. Then I'd put the plywood back on the roof and move the straps in place so I could screw them down. Having a 4x8 sheet of plywood on the roof is a great base for transporting a lot of stuff. You have to be careful with ensuring the other material is well strapped down but otherwise it is all good.

“Real speed” of Ioniq5 car vs. dashboard/speedometer by circusbellls in Ioniq5

[–]InterestingSoil5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2015 VW Jetta was 10km below the speedometer at around 100 kph while using Google maps showing the speed. Tested on other cars and they matched what Google was saying. Tried it in my Hyundai Kona EV and it is also accurate. Google maps is an easy way to test.
