I firmly believe that the current trajectory of printing unlimited amounts of fiat currency is unsustainable and will result in a Great Depression (or worse).
Because of this I invest in physical silver. However, I have tamped down any expectations of a price surge within ten years because I feel that the powers that be would never allow it to happen.
Our power is in numbers and the ability to purchase (and hold) large amounts of physical silver. In a true shit hits the fan scenario what would prevent the bullion banks and wholesalers from only supplying commercial silver needs and drying up the supply to ordinary folks like us? As we’ve seen the premium above spot for silver can rise a
I am trying to split a two-wire 4-20mA Analog signal with Hart into two two-wire 4-20mA Analog signals with Hart each going to its own PLC (One ControlLogix PLC and the other CompactLogix using a Spectrum Controls AI Hart Card). I know we need a multiplexer of some sort but I can't find one that meets these specs.
I am receiving an integer via modbus from a motor protection relay that can be one of ~250 values telling me why the motor shutdown. I need to write to a string based on the value of the integer. For instance, a 0 input would mean no shutdowns active, a 1 would mean Forced Setpoints dump, a 2 would mean Speed Switch Trip etc. I could write logic (see link) to Copy the value from an array of strings into a tag, but that would mean 250 rungs of code, and I need to do this for five motors, so that would be a lot of time. Is there a better way to do this?
Edit: I used one bpeck451's solution and it worked great. I updated the Imgur pics to show the ladder logic in case anyone is interested. Th
I have been trying to pull Modbus data from a GE 850 (Feeder Protection System) via 2 wire RS485 to an Allen Bradley L72 ControlLogix PLC using a Prosoft MVI56E-MCM card. I am successfully pulling data out of some GE 369 MultiLins but the 850 is giving me fits.
I know the slave ID and baud rate etc are all correct because I am getting data back even if I don’t know what it is when I use randoms DevAddresses. I have set up the Prosoft card as it shows on the attached picture.
As you can see below in the picture the modbus address in decimal is 31430, but I have tried every hex/decimal possible number like 1429, 31430, Hex-0595, but I am not getting anything back. I know I have a good wiri
So my Dad is about 67 years old and his wife (my Mom) of about 40 years died last year. He took it pretty hard, but he started "dating" women he found online. He went as far as buying them cars and sending them money whenever they asked for it. When I found out about it I told him it was likely a scam each time, but he keeps falling for the same crap over and over. This last one was a "woman" from Romania and he sent her all sorts of money, and he was telling me that she was flying here (Texas) and that they were going to get married. She never showed but somehow he still believes that she is real, and I have tried and tried to make him understand that these people online are not real and po
So my neighbor is an elderly man (Texas) and he is getting pretty close to dying. He has agreed to leave his house (fully paid for) to a female friend of his that is taking care of him at his house right now. The problem is that this woman has no money and no job and therefore she won't be able to pay the taxes and other bills for the house. This woman is estranged from her family and has no contact with them at all, so they won't be able to help her. I was thinking that I could pay for her taxes and bills if she agreed to leave us her newly acquired house when she dies. I know it sounds morbid, but she is elderly as well. Is this legal? The house is valued about $300k or so if that matters
I had a post on another forum discussing whether or not someone has rights to education, housing, food, etc. and I stated that those can't be rights because you have to take away money from someone else to pay for those "rights". Someone brought up a good point that under my definition voting couldn't be a right because someone else has to pay for it as well. There are obviously different types of rights (natural and legal), but I am trying to wrap my head around how to properly explain what rights are.
