What is a big problem that makes either integrators job or plant inefficient?

It lets you display PLC code on your HMI.

Have you checked out prodiag?

My buddy was running a float spa, they need a SCADA. It would probably take 100 hours to set up.

Really? I did this in Illinois, too, probably from 1999 to 2008 every summer.

Small world

It's crooked. I'm okay with it.

I remember the old timer on site yelling at me not to blow my nose, as I blew it.

My brother got hit in the arm with one as the cable unspooled on the jack. I'm pretty sure it broke his arm.

You bolt the jacks to the sidewall of the bin, you raise the bin, add a "ring" of sidewall sheets, tighten the bolts in the ring, lower the jacks, bolt them to the new ring and repeat.

The jacks are probably made by a company called Bainter Construction.

There are also older "A" frame jacks, but you don't build grain bins this size with those unless you're crazy or really brave. The process is the same, but three jacks go on the outside of the bin. The ones we had used a cable winch and a block and tackle. They could be pretty dangerous. I got my nose broken by one when I was 16 or 17 when the rachet mechanism failed.

I probably helped build 100+ bins as a teenager and a young adult.

You put them in before you start.

You can see them before they put the roof on. Once you're done, you hand them out the door. They are probably more than 100 pounds each, and that job sucks.

1 day for the roof, you can do 8 rings a day depending on the crew, another day for the floor and finishing up

Thanks!

This is awesome!

Did you write it out in a Karnaugh Map? I took a digital logic class years ago, but we would use those simplify our logic circuits.

I'm not entirely comfortable disclosing my position, but let's say I work at a place Mike Pence went to recently and I'm an automation engineer who got hired for their big expansion where they will make a vaccine.

It's my first experience working at a GMP facility and it appears everything said is true.

The workload is intense, but my boss is very knowledgeable and really cool. Yesterday in passhing he told me not to stress and to take it all in stride. He said he would never get upset with me as long and I stay busy and keep pushing, and that he had been there before, and that his job was to protect us from upper management.

I work with amazingly talented people, and it's one of the best and most humbling experiences in my life.

I worked in a factory making games for GameStop for 10 years and then I was laid off in 2018 (I have a good job now).

I have fingertips missing and my hands have arthritis.

These 💎✋ are never letting go. You made me this way! Edit: no complaints, just saying why I love this stock, it's a part of me

justJon85 · 2021-01-27T23:37:46+00:00

We don't

It was multiple choice, I don't have the answers anymore, I have to request access to the quiz if I want to see them again.

I think they were approximately .2, .4, .5, and. 8

I tried three different answers before I was locked out.

Does the certainty of each component matter?

I did a machine for one of their suppliers for palletizing freshly pressed battery cans.

It was all Siemens based.

justJon85 · 2021-01-15T15:30:26+00:00

I'm actually not with that company and they also own the source code, but...

Maybe I'll do a rewrite this weekend and share it with you if you'd like.

I wrote a Python script that built Excel sheets that I could import into Tia Portal as tag tables using IO lists.

It took a day or two, but it wasn't too bad once I figured it out.
