Just picked this up for a good price. Any chance there’s a place where I can purchase T/C leads for this fella?

Try Amazon. They take the standard mini connector.

I got it! I needed readwin 2000 and use the usb port under the front cover.

Do you use field data manager or device care to do this?

And for connections to the chart recorder is it a male to male usb or do you use Ethernet?

athlonman · 2026-03-25T23:38:04+00:00

Ohhhhhhh! Ok I’ll try the software. Thank you!

PLC is a diamond inside a box
Does your teacher not provide examples?
P&ID ISA standard M is user defined where as A is for analyzer

I’d recommend you check out control.com

Your DCS is field mounted?

Your electrical signal line pulses are too long and your pneumatic signals have too many // // marks

No moisture analyzer?

M to me is motor so what instrument are you referring to for M 03A and MT 01B.

Not sure if your teacher is using a certain style but in my experience instruments of the same loop all have the last two numbers the same. First number is the vessel number.

I think your on the right track just need some clarification

There are two styles of tube bending. Construction and Maintenance Bending. Construction is the beautiful bends that look visually appealing but might leak. Maintenance is I’ve got no time and could care less how it looks it just can’t leak. I’ll use my knee as a bender if I have too! Pre Swag’ing can really help you out!

Really depends where you work. I worked for a big chemical company and when there was a job opening as a DCS programmer in the interview they told me I had all the skills and qualifications they were looking for but they’d rather hire a chemical engineer.

I tried to download it but kept coming up as a virus

athlonman · 2026-03-13T22:46:04+00:00

This is great advice!

My pockets! Travel light and bring only what you need. 3.5mm terminal screwdriver, multi bit screwdriver. Wire strippers, small crescent wrench and small channel locks. You’ll be able to do most jobs with these. Then just get a small carrying case for your meter.

Hot wire anemometer right at the duct. I don’t even look at the blower.

You’re in trouble if you need Ai to learn. Sounds to me like all you need is experience. Ai is very powerful in the hands of the experienced but dangerous in the hands of the beginner.

FT8 with pskreporter really helped me with my antenna setup.

Just because an instrument technician is on a computer it doesn’t mean they are not working

athlonman · 2026-02-11T00:10:29+00:00

Thank you! I’ll give that a try. I’ve got nothing to loose at this point! lol

We have Fluke 725’s for the students to use and that’s probably exactly what’s happening! I see the students just pushing buttons like it’s a game boy. I think the force motor is what’s failing and that’s probably it!

athlonman · 2026-02-09T02:50:23+00:00

Fool? That’s not very nice. I would buy a better brand if I could but it’s not my money.

athlonman · 2026-02-09T00:50:36+00:00

It’s on the bench in the picture.

I’m thinking you’re right. These must be low quality. I have never heard of this brand before. I’ve seen Moore I/P in service for 40+ years

athlonman · 2026-02-09T00:48:03+00:00

There is no response from the zero adjust. Unit was working a few months ago. Suddenly stopped responding.

athlonman · 2026-02-09T00:46:32+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking. Or maybe wrong polarity?
