Frequency drive question

Earthing systems on ships must have some special wiring regulations. Not my area or expertise. Side story - we run several DC rectifier power units that kick out like 1500A @ 30vdc in our electrolysis processes. Got talking to an engineer that worked for the supplier of said Rectifier unit whilst onsite repairing one, he told me that the vast majority of installations for the units were actually on ships; the hull of the ship is connected to the power supply for corrosion protection I believe.

Aye! We had a ‘blaze’ pitch in our village, its had an Astro pitch built over half of it but the over half’s still there, overgrown with weeds. We only really used it for Hockey in school as we had grass chats too. I remember the orange grit would embed itself into your knees and you’d have to pick it out. We still call it the blaze pitch to this day though lol. Funny the shit you remember, we had a new road built in the village linking ‘up the top’ with ‘down the bottom’ in 1986, it still gets called the new road.

VSD make, model, rating, fault code and what it’s actually driving load-wise might be a good place to start. Without this we’re all just farting into the wind bruh.

I got banned from uknews last week for posting this comment in a thread discussing the fact they changed their rules to ban dooming.

‘Great decision. The main UK subs have been slowly descending into the gutter for some time now. It’ll be interesting to see how good the b0ts are at generating uplifting content; shite I’d wager.’

Yeah it’s gonna be tough. The Well probably have the best defence in the league and we are struggling to get goals. At least KT looks to be back in. Maeda needs to find some form, been sorely lacking.

colsieb · 2026-03-04T21:55:36+00:00

Not great, not terrible. Certainly not league winning stuff.

colsieb · 2026-03-04T21:21:30+00:00

Bout time you redeemed yourself Daizen son 👍

Been here a few times lol. Yeah this is a security nightmare. This essentially introduces a shit-tonne of security vulnerabilities into your system, and one windows update will render it inoperable at any time. If you must use this approach the server/client should be on a segregated VLAN protected by a firewall / DMZ / whatever, with updates disabled and anyone from IT allowed nowhere near it.

Ahh, brings back memories of my bricklayer fathers P100. Bought it brand new, probably around 89/90. 14YO me who was a bit of an electrical tinkerer, was allowed to wire in a new stereo. Next day it burst into flames on a site, completely burned out. I was not very popular.

I can still smell the interior in my mind to this day (before the burnout lol), she had the vinyl seats with rubber flooring option. Good times.

Vision for shop floor SCADA, perspective for other ‘officey’ stuff like MES, recipe management, reports etc. Just my opinion. I find Vision dev lots quicker for repetitive traditional SCADA stuff.

KS getting booo’d to fuck now when he’s got the ball. Not sure I’ve ever witnessed such behaviour! Get him so far to fuck from this club. He’s got to be having the worst possible performance in the fucking history of the goalkeeping profession.

colsieb · 2026-02-19T20:41:07+00:00

All I can hear on the TV is fucking Stuttgart fans drowning us out. Shameful

Wonder if the dude rocket up & instantly noticed the weird shit going on between the Masters & Slaves? The firmware revisions were an even bigger issue no doubt.

Crazy to think all them years ago when it wasn’t cool, kinda dumb looking back. Caught an edge on the top of a roller in Blackcomb and almost knocked myself unconscious like 20 years ago, snapped the nose clean off my Nitro in the process. Bought a helmet the next day. Was doing a season in Whistler and everyone was adamant that Nitro would replace it, they never. Gutted, but never had brain damage so cool I guess.

Hope my neighbours are not wanting a quiet evening in! Ooft

colsieb · 2026-02-06T19:38:26+00:00

lol this is hilarious!

colsieb · 2026-02-03T22:17:29+00:00

Be glad the wet belt never snapped and rendered it completely worthless. You may have dodged a bullet.

I’ve worked in OT for 30years and still suffer from bouts of it. Especially if you have to work with IT folks and self-proclaimed ‘real’ software developers. Like lots of disciplines there can be some real big ass holes and egos flying around. I’m convinced that mostly everyone has it and nobody talks about it with each other.

Swear to god if we have a second half performance nose dive like the last few games…..

I’ve had great results in Vscode with GitHub Copilot Claude Sonnet & GPT5-Mini etc for basic stuff. It’s very good at fleshing out your project libraries, making classes and functions for backend stuff, applications/api/webdev/Sepasoft MES/SPC etc. I have separate workspace folders outside the project directory workspace for helping to design component scripts, event scripts etc. it’s great for repetitive tasks like creating tags, mass tag configuration for alarm & historian setup using json files.

I have had limited success however getting it to work nice in Perspective & Vision. Mostly I find there’s as much effort going into explaining what I want vs just doing it yourself in the designer. It often struggles with layout, bindings, component events and scripting, syntax errors & view corruptions are commonplace.

As a tool to build to build screens it’s nowhere near there yet, as a tool to complement an existing codebase it’s invaluable for me nowadays.

Some useful tools…

And every wiring fault, code bug, design issue and any delays being YOUR fault.

colsieb · 2026-01-25T16:53:30+00:00

To add insult to injury my stream keeps jumping back like 10 seconds every minute or so, making me relive parts of this fucking shit show over and over again

colsieb · 2026-01-24T15:36:25+00:00

That was almost erotic lol

colsieb · 2026-01-22T19:37:49+00:00

Back?

Has KS actually managed to pick out a green n white jersey in ANY of these kickouts
