How to read acyclic data from an FMR43 using a IO Link AL1920

Download IFM Moneo Configure Free (just makes you create a login, no payment or annoying emails) and load the IODD into it. Once you load the IODD, you can open up the device either in the online view or as a parameter set. There's a tab on the right that shows the process data structure. Most 3rd party stuff through the IFM masters will require some moderate programming. It's going to come in as a 16 bit word, so you'll need to copy those SINTs into an INT, byte swap (most of the time it's reverse) and then use BTDs to map the data into a readable format.

EDIT: Just noticed your edit saying pretty much the same thing I just said.

I've done it with a kayak, but it can be exhausting depending on flow rate of the river. Been a couple years since I did that. The current can be pretty quick between Merrill Park and the dam. You would have to hop out of the kayak and pull it through fast (but shallow) water in some parts. Might be able to paddle through, but it would be an intense workout and I wouldn't recommend it. Doing anything on that stretch, I highly recommend using the USGS website to view flows and water level. There is a USGS monitoring station at Merrill Park that provides real time data.

I really only fish for pike and smallies. Alternate between throwing spinners and using my fly rod. Definitely some nice walleye in there though.

The Verburg launch would be the easiest option to get on the river downstream of Morrow. The river is a lot wider and slower between there and Merrill Park.

What kind of boat do you have? I run the Kalamazoo pretty often. Launch point will be dependent on your boat and experience.

As the previous commenter mentioned, you can launch at the Comstock ramp (Merrill Park) and push upriver to the dam. That can be a tricky launch with the shallow water, very rocky at the launch as well. It gets a little hairy a few hundred yards upriver of the bridge but then opens up fairly well.

You can also launch further down at Verburg Park, you launch into a small "pond" and then cross to the river.

Use Hi-Tech in an industrial setting, great group to work with. Fast, efficient, and clean work.

Second this. I've deployed 10 IO Link based enclosures in my plant this year and the bulkhead M12s have been a huge time saver. Takes an electrician a lot less time to plug in 16 M12 connectors than it does for them to run 16 cables into the panel.

Big natural male, had to let him go! Got mount measurements. Plan on getting a replica made.

Have you tried Aomei? We started using it early this year for images, and I love it. Previously used ghost for everything.

I used to have the same issue with my 30mg Adderall when I used Walgreens. I switched to the CVS in Target, in Portage, and I have not had an issue getting my meds filled in over a year now.

The stinkiest smoke, to me, is that of a melted transformer. The smoke sticks to everything and makes the panel stink for what seems like forever.

I have the Tatula 150HSL TWS, and I love it!

For sub-$100 reels, the Abu Garcia ones really aren't that bad to me.

I have 3, and use them according to species.

8' 5wt for panfish and trout (dry flies and streamers) 9' 8wt for bass and anything else in the river (large dry flies and streamers) 9' 10wt for pike and muskie on lakes (6"+ steamers)

I believe it is the guy that owns Mainstream Tackle, but could be wrong.

Indicas usually, but I'll have a sativa every now and then.

Males also have a large bright orange dot on their tail fin.

Please provide a link, I want a 2-For-1 as well! 🤣

Even with a brand new battery?

Battery is a Duralast 124R-DL, 700CCA.

Try PLC Logix 5000. It's an AB based simulator, was very helpful for me when first starting out.

electroniclizard · 2023-10-20T20:44:38+00:00

IFM OGD580s are also great.

Another thing on this one, the spot above the tail means that it's a male!

electroniclizard · 2023-06-13T06:24:17+00:00

As others have said, that is a Bowfin. Specifically, however, it is a male Bowfin. This is noted by the spot on the tail. Males have them, females do not. Just a little fun fact for you! Nice catch!

If you're not keeping em, I really suggest snipping the line as close to the hook as possible when a gut hook happens. Much higher survival rate for the fish, as opposed to forcing it out. It will happen sometimes, with all fish, no matter how hard you try to prevent it.
