Hello!
I wish to thank you for the time and consideration you give to my question.
I need to know if it is possible for an Electric Utility to use SCADA from a Dispatch Center to automate their HV/LV distribution substations.
In the Dispatch Center, dispatchers can supervise substations by receiving data (e.g. transformers loading, currents, voltages, etc.), and control HV switchgears and LV circuit breakers in the substation by having the possibility to open/close them remotely...

Analog vs. Digital MEMS Accelerometer Output Comparison
Hello,
We are developing a condition monitoring device and are currently testing its performance using the SPM Vib-15 as a reference, which is a well-known industrial condition monitoring device.

I have quite a few windows open, want to open another, but too many windows animated.
That is fine, i turn off animation on a few.
At the End of the day, I save the file, with lots of windows, but with the animations turned off on most windows. I Disc, close software, logout.
The next day, these windows have animation ON. Why didnt it save the animation state?
How can I change it so that all windows start with no animation, is it possible ..read more

Hello!
I am looking for a solution how to deal with such problem: SattCon 125 controller stopped with "parameter error" on the display, probably because of the low battery (the battery now is replaced). And I cannot find any manuals for this kind of PLC. How to start the controller? A great thanks in advance ..read more

A common PLC language would allow vendors to compete for development systems with a level playing field. In theory, the end result would be dramatically improved development software. Remember Taylor or ICOM? ICOM competed with A-B and had a very nice product (still the best I have ever seen, IMHO).

Hello,
I want to install an energy meter to monitor the energy consumption of a transformer. The secondary side of this transformer is a parallel circuit, making it impossible to connect three current transformers (CTs) to the three phases of the secondary side.
The challenge is that I need to measure six points, which requires six current transformers.
Is it possible to connect two current transformers to a single input of the energy meter ..read more

This topic is not new, but I felt some here might have good insight. I have a plasma cutting CNC table that I built using a cheap control board (MKS DLC32 V2.1). I noticed that when I fire the plasma torch it disconnects the control board from the computer which is linked via a sheilded USB. I've had some luck preventing the interference by wrapping the torch lead and motor driver wires in tinfoil, and running a ground wire from the z-axis mechanism to the control board's power supply case...
