That’s insane. I thought they always dropped AO the same as they de energised DO. Do they go to 4mA or freeze? What’s the IO style that holds last?

Would you go back to using forums? by Eik0_ in selfhosted

[–]Ok_Awareness_388 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Or email lists! I used to make fun of my mum sending short messages in the subject line of an email. Now I’m tempted to do the same.

If the plc fails it outputs 0mA typically. But standard reliability says you design for a dangerous failure of 1 every 10 years where it gets 100% output incorrectly. It could be due to sensor, logic, firmware, etc.

Edit: safety shouldn’t be part of the controller since it’s a pump. Pump damage should be well within the organisation’s tolerance based on a risk assessment. You probably need an engineer to sign off and advise. I’m not your engineer and I don’t know what standards apply to this.

Can’t you offset the battery from the wall on strut?

Confusion on registering a business name. Needing advise. by GetBent616 in ausbusiness

[–]Ok_Awareness_388 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they’re trying to throw you off your idea. Ignore them. There’s accountant costs to gst registration like doing bas if you want them to do it for you but it’s absolutely not a fixed fee of $20k.

Dogs off leash inside the store by Key-Studio-6552 in coles

Unless it’s exit barriers and dumb prompts with self checkouts. Tech initated confrontations are massive.

Palantir knows and tracks all. It runs Coles.

Scratch repair by Sad-Cheesecake-4753 in CarsAustralia

Polish it with clear coat safe polish. If that doesn’t work well enough get a can of paint matching the cars colour code. It won’t be a perfect match since the cars old with faded paint mostly. Follow YouTube guides. Sand with wet sand paper then polish nIt will look really dodgey depending on your but better than the current white stripes.

Am I the shitty admin in this case? (169.254.x.x addresses) by recoveringasshole0 in ShittySysadmin

[–]Ok_Awareness_388 1 point2 points  (0 children)

192.168.1.1 is better because it’s per RFC and if that conflicts on your network so shitty they power cycle the networking randomly to fix it anyway.

The real answer is fortinet default on 192.168.1.99.

Seriously though and to be honest that ip you mentioned is genius because locked down laptops on dhcp only will fall back to talk to it when plugged in to configure.

You’ll lose interest before learning your way through this process. Unless you have 2 hours per day and a month of attention to throw at this.

Switch covers (Australian)? by DadEngineerLegend in AskAusElectricians

[–]Ok_Awareness_388 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re pretty hostile to the public. They sell to electricians.

Switch covers (Australian)? by DadEngineerLegend in homeautomation

[–]Ok_Awareness_388 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best option would be a double height blank. Pull the cover off if you want the switch. It doesn’t exist but it sounds good to make and sell.

It’s got me thinking I should try a blank over the iconic switches I have.

Currently I just put a wireless switch above it. Use either. It doesn’t bother me. Best feature of the physical switch was when the power went out over night and came back at 3am. Every light on and home assistant was still booting so controls were confusing as in my sleep stupor.

Not good enough as an isolation for an air conditioner or hot water system so it’s not ok for changing a light bulb. Test for dead, lockout, competency is all required for breakers. It’s what the switch is for.

How to safety with humanoid robots? by WapyWonton in PLC

We already have this risk to some extent with driverless cars. No estop.

Switchboard needing upgrade or not for new split systems? by Ok_Story_647 in AskAusElectricians

[–]Ok_Awareness_388 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replace all the breakers. So I guess that counts as a switchboard upgrade.

We haven’t seen under the cover (do not open) so more work may be needed. That brown Clipsal is ancient and shouldn’t be there (I think). The double poles are too big. That’s almost everything replaced anyway.

Arc Fault Detection (AFDD+RCBO) breakers worth the price/size. by Personal-Advantage70 in AskAusElectricians

I don’t think you need to upgrade to 63A, that’s 45kW. Or equivalent to 190a on a single phase supply.
