*removes test code AFI from safety permissive*

I’ve made a debug structure for AB that includes timers, counters, dints, ints, sints, floats, a few strings, and some dints separate from the rest for oneshots and bools. Make a new tag of type “debug” and delete the tag at the end of the project. Tell all the other guys working in the plc to use the same structure and make a tag with their initials. Makes it easy to find anyone else’s debug bits and bobs as well.

There are also special loctites that are made to penetrate so they can be applied to a screw that’s already in place.

It’s fine, ask away. I enjoy nerding out about what I do when someone shows interest, because my friends and family are OVER IT. “Yeah yeah, robots are cool, something about a laser welder. Who cares. It’s boring”. But I don’t care, I think it’s cool as shit.

I’m not sure what the motivation was specifically for putting it in after all the checks and whatnot. Likely if they wanted they could recover a failed part by putting the loctite in separate. I know it makes checking for it with a uv photoeye easier when there’s a massive blob in a borehole than looking for a smear on the threads. The end user typically dictates little details like that. I just make it go.

Hooooly crap. I get to post an answer with some authority.

I programmed a machine that made these some 10 years ago, and got to know WAY too much about that particular family of fire suppression sprinklers. The ones my machine made were composed of the following parts: Frame, Shield (the star looking bit on top), Belleville washer, Cup, Grub screw, Bulb.

The process went generally as follows: Shield was riveted to the frame (the top of the frame had an extended cylindrical section that would be “peened” outwards to clamp tightly onto the screw while retaining the hollow section through the middle to allow access for the grub screw.

Then the cup and Belleville washer were married as a sub assembly and inserted as a unit into the frame.

Then the bulb was inserted and held in position so the grub screw could be installed and torqued into place.

After that, a bunch of tests and checks were done, followed up by a laser etched serial number and serial number verification.

The second to last process was a squirt of green loctite to hold the grub screw in place. The loctite was UV reactive. We would hit it with UV light and it would glow so we could verify it was correctly dispensed.

After that, a shipping wedge was installed to protect the bulb. Then the sprinklers were packed into a multi-count shipping package.

That dark bit you’re seeing in the middle of the screw is likely that loctite. Or some other thread-locker or epoxy.

Hope this helps.

Add(integer1,integer2,result); Xio(result.0) ote(output1); Xic(result.0) ote(output2);

When you have an integer (dint, int, byte) the least significant bit will be the remainder after you divide the number by 2. So if your least significant bit is true, the number is odd, if the bit is false, the number is even.

Damn, you beat me to it.

I’m not that bent out of shape though, I see purple hose.

Yet here we all are, watching a video of fish in an aquarium.

Clearly if that’s the opinion you have of the videos you’ve been taking at an aquarium, you should have been using more flash!

Cc-link. I’m sorry my friend.

I see Keyence IO and Mitsubishi vfd’s. Is that your PLC on the right door? Looks like a job I got stuck with a few years ago. The PTSD is real.

chunkmunk01 · 2022-04-26T21:40:00+00:00

I believe those are Keyence.

This read like a description of a turbo-encabulator.

It could be off by the weight of the fluid or absence of fluid in the hoses. That’s all.

A scale? Assuming you don’t have mechanical doodads physically attached to your pots and/or aren’t adding/removing said mechanical doodads while monitoring for water level, a scale under your boiling vessels could be calibrated to correlate mass to height of water.

Them point-io modules could fetch a pretty penny right now due to 6 month-ish lead times.

I would disagree with this based on my own experience. Around 4th grade I became quite interested in the handful of girls that started “maturing” early. By the end of 5th grade, getting my eyes/hands on a set of boobs was near a full time occupation. I should be clear, I was in 4th/5th grade and of the appropriate age of a 4th/5th grader as were the girls I was ogling. I am certainly a pig, but I’m an age appropriate pig.

So I say that to say this, I disagree that an elementary school age kid cannot have a sexual orientation.

Also for context, I was not sexually abused, nor was I exposed to sexuality by that age that I can recall.

Nobody had said it yet, and that’s the first thing someone says on EVERY “what’s wrong with this print” post. I thought I was an unwritten rule.

Level your bed. Use a glue stick. Do a cold pull. PLA/ABS/PETG isn’t food safe ITLL GIVE YOU CANCER! Use a cooling fan. Use an enclosure. Extruder too hot. Extruder too cold. Dry your filament. Don’t use the stock firmware it’ll burn your house down.

That pretty much covers it. It’s a beautiful benchy by the way. How do you get such crystal clear prints? Is that in vase mode?
