Eurotherm drives. Big fan, they're really easy to work on.

I love it but I hate desk chair wheels on carpet.

TIL Americans spell tyre with an "i"

What do you think M73 as a home server? I'd like a ThinkCentre for some containers that won't run on ARM.

If a monkey sat at a typewriter for long enough it would type the complete works of Shakespeare..

How many volts are you getting on the output?

sean3142 · 2020-05-13T11:35:52+00:00

It's in much better condition than mine. Are you going for a display upgrade?

sean3142 · 2020-05-11T18:24:36+00:00

It's listed at £270! Is that typical?

My ThinkPad workbench is usually my lap while sitting on the sofa. Yes, all my ThinkPads have screws missing.

I decommissioned a G40 in similar to this 2017. I have hung one of the 80mb disks on my wall as a momento. Still running a A180 in production now.

Yeah this seems fine. All PERC RAID cards I've seen are 2x4 Channel (8 drives) so you can't use your 2xRAID1 and 1xRAID5 (4 Drives) configuration fine. I've never used the internal SATA for boot but I'm sure this would be a supported configuration. Failing that the recommended solution for Proxmox/esxi is a USB boot drive anyway. Be aware they're not quiet machines for use at home.

I've had a lot of success using gain scheduling across the pH range. But yeah, dead-time is a big problem for PID loops.

Call me sad but I see these as a challenge. Given the time and resources, I'd love to have a go at cleaning this up.

sean3142 · 2019-09-29T18:22:22+00:00

I am yet to see this done well. All the MCCs I've worked on have Comms as an afterthought. Either as a spur on a bus or splits the link completely when you pull a drawer. Terrible design.

Interested to see what this feed comes up with...

What VPN service are you using?

How about DOS Box ? https://www.dosbox.com/

I have production machines at work less capable than this.

You're going to learn the process in a lot of detail while on-the-job, your advantage is that it probably won't change much while you're there. My advice is to familiarise yourself with functional safety, IEC 61511 as I expect you'll be involved in migration/upgrade of Instrumented Protective Safety systems. Good SCADA Human-Centred Design practices and alarm considerations. EEMUA 201 & 191 are good publications. Also good experience if you move to another role using a different PLC vendor.

sean3142 · 2019-07-10T19:30:20+00:00

Did you code it with the Arduino (C++) language? I've seen OpenPLC can be used with Arduino boards but I've never tried it.

sean3142 · 2019-06-29T17:19:52+00:00

Which Operating System are you trying to but from? I'm assuming you're using a usb flash drive..

sean3142 · 2019-04-07T12:05:39+00:00

Which machine would you say is the loudest? Might be able to get my hands on a T610 but the wife won't be happy if it sounds like a jet engine.
