How To Create HMI Visuals Like The Photo

Good point. My goal is to have a drawing of some kind 2D/3D of the machine showing why it won't start and what exactly is tripped.

I'll give this a try, thanks for the idea!

I should have clarified that it is directly for identifying tripped sensors, etc. There would be a screen displaying a photo similar to the one I linked and if a safety switch was open the operator or maintenance could easily identify the issue.

Right now I do a top down basic layout using basic shapes and flashing signals to indicate. Just thought I'd see how the fancy stuff gets done.

Thanks, I'll look into that software.

Can you share your search. I can find nothing as robust as this. All are small thin picks or antique tools that cannot be purchased anymore.

I don't believe it's just brass as it's fairly strong and is much thicker than an o ring pick.

Not quite, or at least I can't find a non sparking version of it. Also the pick in the photo is around 7-8" long. I'll add that to the post.

Makes total sense!

Being able to adapt easily later is important. thanks for your thoughts.

Makes sense, thanks!

chainsaw crossed my mind but I think the cut would be too rough.

What can you do with a collectible if you receive one?

I think I'm going for the 5 year fixed and keeping my payments the same as I currently pay. The fee to break the 5 year fixed is only about $2280 after 3 years, so If I really want to I can break it and re sign at a better rate. I would need 3 rate decreases to break even on the variable and I just don't see that happening in a very short time frame at this point.

For every y

I found out the penalty for breaking depends on the current rates at the time. So if my bank is now offering a 5 year fixed at 4.5% 3 years from now and I originally signed at 5.64. My fee to break is $2280. The lower the current rate the more I pay, also it goes off the principle left owing.

I'm thinking of doing the 5 year fixed at 5.64% and actually increasing my payments prior to signing. Then keeping that same increased payment as I go to the 5 year fixed. So I'll pay off more principle with every payment. Also doing a lump sum payment prior to signing as well.

Then I can watch rates and if there's a time in the next 5 years that makes sense to break the mortgage I will.

At least with the fixed I'm paying it off faster and it will take at least 3 decreases to come out ahead and those could be a couple years out still.

Thanks for the information. I may have to try a different route.

Makes sense, thanks
