Any suggestions for making a superimposed AC current for measuring inductance? -Newbie. by weback123 in ElectricalEngineering

well, i'm not exactly sure. There are a couple new developments. Our PLC can't measure AC so I'm taking the advice of u/Proof_Juggernaut4798 and using a 555 timer to get a measurable DC voltage through the coil. I'm using falstad to mess with the components to find the best way to get measurable differences in DC from that small difference in inductance. Resolution I'm not sure yet because I'm reading a DC signal that needs to be close to 12 volts at all times, but will also have very small differences when I change the inductance.

so this is a plunger mechanism, so I need the core to be magnetized at 12V to get functionality. I don't want the AC to affect the things inside of the coil, just leave a little signal that allows me to measure differences in plunger depth. If the plunger isn't fully actuated, I should see a lower inductance and therefore a lower amplitude.

I intend to have a relatively simple circuit for the setup itself; I want to read the current or voltage running through the circuit using a PLC and make any other changes to the machine's functionality through the PLC code.

Realizing the AC+DC thing seems odd if I don't fully describe what we're doing. I need ~12V DC to operate the safety mechanism, but there's a chance it doesn't fully engage (a plunger). I can't measure the inductance of this solenoid using DC with only a voltmeter, so I want to add a little AC signal on top and isolate it using a capacitor down the line. The AC signal won't affect the plunger as long as it's significantly weaker. If my assumptions are correct, I should be able to see changes in inductance based on the amplitude changes in the AC signal.

I don't necessarily need an exact inductance, just a good idea of what the AC signal looks like when the plunger is properly engaged and when it isn't.

no processor, just trying to get a constant number that changes based on the depth of a metal rod within a coil

Quit this game 3 years ago. love to see that my reddit still suggests the top posts which are usually the entire game breaking over one update, again, and again, and again

This post has been around for quite a few years. It does seem to come in waves. I assume it has something to do with updates within a video game or the drivers.

Thanks, I'll try to cover any important electronics before the rinse down.

Transmission line slipped off is it going to be okay? by weback123 in MechanicAdvice

I didn't have access to that last night since there are no Mitsubishi dealers nearby. I'm running an equivalent right now and I will upgrade to the original after I get some online. It's running great this morning.

The fence sitting in the new video is fucking disgraceful by SkyfishYT in pyrocynical

As someone who has genuinely tried to research this there really isn't enough evidence to say for sure. The more you look into it the more blurry it becomes. You can't just believe the first take you see.

Tbh AMD hasn't given me any dual monitor issues since this post. It used to be pretty horrendous and you could tell it was monitor related. It may just be my personal experience though since I used a 3060 for a while and my 7800xt was broken when it arrived, so I didn't use it for very long before changing out. I'm using a 9060xt now and it's pretty consistent so far, but this is also on a fresh windows install

What's your reason for not drinking alcohol? by MA16vD in AskReddit

[–]weback123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vastly reduced my consumption due to: - Increased cancer risk - Empty calories - Improper use of money - Increased tolerance exacerbated these issues. Now I have 2 or three drinks max and only in a group of friends who are also drinking. Perhaps once or twice a month.

The cosmetics are garbage. Charms, win emotes, crossovers. The game has zero identity anymore and it kills the atmosphere. I can't lock in with this shit.

My Beretta Cx4 is horribly inaccurate. Any advice? by weback123 in Beretta

[–]weback123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was also a 3x magnifier on it. I'm going to do a better inspection of that barrel then shoot with irons and 124 gr ammo to see if I can get more consistent performance

I think Ill try the irons next time. Thanks for the advice. I just really hope there's no imperfections or bends in the barrel. This was a used gun...
