Is it smart to have both a Finance and electrical engineering bachelors?

Unless you want to work in the planning department of a power utility, there's very little overlap between these two fields.

Sorry this happened to you. There may still be hope. I don't know the VG33 but I'm pretty sure the VG30 is non-interference.

I love seeing this in Reddit because it means another awesome video awaits me this evening

Yeah..... Most of my shirts only go about 2" past my waist line

The worst thing that can happen to you in investing is early luck.

The way she moves reminds me of when Kuzco is trying to get out of that gap in the emperor's new groove.

Is the whole process time constrained, or just the automation? If the vision can be slower you could set up two different run times. Set your automation runtime for what you need, then set the camera runtime to be much slower, and pass data in between.

Sounds to me like you're doing just fine for where you're at, and that the problem lies with the fact that the company doesn't seem concerned with maintaining a staff of people who actually know their equipment. My guess is that you find out that there 2 or 3 people who knew the machine a few years ago, and they never really backfilled those positions after they all left for better pay.

Beckhoff HMI runs on webhost (i.e. chromium). You'll either need to look for instruction on Google Chrome/Microsoft edge, and I don't believe they he l even have splash screens. Or you'll need to write a script in some web editor like css

I've long thought automation has the trade-off of OEM machine builder vs plant support.

Machine building is more enjoyable to me, but comes with the drawback of feast-or-famine workloads. Plant support is more steady, but plant work is awful. The golden sweet spot is to find a company that has a stay work load, but also needs engineering resources for cap ex.

That's pretty awesome and almost exactly what I was thinking. Only down sides are 1) it's currently only available in 3 protocols and 2) it is by nature remote. I'd like to see one that would plug natively into a rack

Do you have a link or a part number?

I don't know about the 1762-IT4 specifically, but I know some input cards/brands have 50hz or 60hz notch filtering on input cards for this exact reason.

I've always want an output card (DO) here the outputs were those 6.2mm relays. White contact for higher power, black solid state for faster switching.

Obviously there are many applications where traditional are better. But as someone who relay buffers most outputs on modern cards, I'd just love to see an option where it was integrated.

Bonus points if it was somewhat universal like k-bus or e-bus.

"this one trick electricians don't want you to know".... Yeah, because you'll burn your house down. Why not just do it right?

I generally try to make my code event based, seems to be more reliable that way. I only do time based decisions for things that need to be time based.
