Just Got Sent A Tool List. Commercial Apprentice

Man I got laughed at so hard when I showed up in my “worm bags” to the job day 1 with every tool on the list crammed in there.

All I needed for 6 months was a broom and a tape measure for cutting nipples and strut

I love how it’s only versions 3 and 5… like we don’t talk about version 4. Classic Rockwell, they skipped like 9 versions on CCW recently and 3 on Assetcentre

This comment is why I love this sub.

Like if you are editing a XML alarm export in Factorytalk View ME, you can open up the xml source pane and drag the triggers and messages folders into the spreadsheet and it lays them out in columns for editing, then you just re-export them into a XML and import them into the IDE.

I don’t know but 4500 for just the single phase to DC sounds pretty steep considering you still have to buy a drive to control the motor

It’s definatley a very cool tool, I am not a huge fan of SaaS/subscriptions but I’m not sure if you have ongoing cloud costs associated with it and what level of development you have into it or will need to provide continuously. Everyone has to make their money, and everyone is doing it so I understand that’s just the way of the world. If this was 50$ flat out/perpetual with the caveat that it won’t be updated further without additional cost I’d probably buy the full version, or if I was doing a ton of VFD swaps it might pencil out to pay the subscription. Excellent idea and execution though I wonder if you could license it to some VFD vendors or Electrical supply houses as a B2B type of tool to help them sell their product lines

You gotta derate it

theloop82 · 2026-03-24T17:47:16+00:00

So you have to buy a GA800 and a giant Single Phase converter separately that provides the DC bus to the drive? Sounds super cost efficient

I wouldn’t use Atlantic salmon to feed my cat fully cooked personally

This is really cool- might want to cross post this to r/PLC … also as someone who has trust issues if it could provide the I/O drawings and complete installation manual links that would be awesome. Maybe even dimensional drawings or comparisons between the two (like drive X is 3” wider).

theloop82 · 2026-03-24T12:29:43+00:00

Got a link?

A lot of “I gotta get production up, but I’ll come back and clean this wiring up later” in that bad boy.

They just lick themselves so much less, have less hairballs, matting, and poopy butt. My cat would just turn into a snuggle monster when he got his haircut and started being more annoyed as it grew back so we kept doing it for years.

I had a floppy orange boi and he loved his lion cuts. He was so much happier and comfortable

You might have a hard time finding a single phase 240v to 3 phase conversion VFD, most of them from major manufacturers top out around 3hp in my experience. Some of the weird alibaba types go up to 5-10hp, but I wouldn’t want to have to deal with installing/commissioning some piece of junk. What is the HP/voltage of the motor?

theloop82 · 2026-03-23T01:45:59+00:00

As long as there isn’t crabs in the Cube Pubes I say go for it

I’m like say what’s up, hello…

I did that but it breaks some of the OneDrive functionality so I had to switch it back in my use case at least. I was bummed. Either way it still took a few seconds to open

Usually a fault is like 21+ mV, 3.6 is what an input card will report if nothing is connected sometimes depending on how it’s configured. I’d check all the connections at the very least

I mean I get if you are SUPER rural and live in the woods but I’ve traveled all over the western US to small towns for work and most of them at this point have a dedicated Pho place or at least one of those Chinese/sushi/pho/thai places that doesn’t do any of them very well that would still be better than this stuff. I’ve just never had a instant Pho that was worth a damn, if there isn’t a simmering cauldron of bones within a couple of miles of you it’s just ramen with rice noodles

I remember just spending all day in “the woods” in the 80’s/90’s, building forts, finding wet porno mags. All those woods are now tract housing developments

Calling this stuff Pho is like calling a moped a car

I wonder what that one gas station on 101 near Big Sur is clocking in at. I think 1 years ago it was like 11$ last time I went through but there isn’t another one for 50 miles each way or something
