2024.05.20 21:08 Alarmed_Bed9827 Preparations for the T+1 Shift

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-19/new-t-1-rule-is-speeding-up-settlement-time-and-wall-street-is-worried
Who will this affect the most?
What are the opportunities/challenges?
Any thoughts?
When US markets reopen next Tuesday after the long weekend, everything will likely seem normal. It’s only after the close and in the following days that any cracks are expected to appear.A spike in the number of failed trades, operational glitches and additional costs are among industry fears as the trading process for American securities accelerates, with the time allowed to complete every transaction halved to a single day.Spurred on by the original meme-stock frenzy, the Securities and Exchange Commission is pushing the shift to reduce the chance of something going wrong between when a trade is executed and when it’s settled. But the switch to what’s known as T+1 comes with risks of its own.

Foreign Investments in US Markets Eclipse $25 Trillion

Overseas holdings have soared amid US stock outperformance

Unheralded parts of the trading process like affirmation (confirming details), fixing errors, and recalling securities out on loan must happen at least twice as fast. Global funds face a mismatch where cash flowing in and out moves at a different speed to the assets they have to buy and sell.And it all faces an immediate stress test as some of the world’s major indexes rebalance or reveal planned reconstitutions before the end of this month.“All hands will be on deck,” said Michele Pitts, Citigroup Inc.’s global head of custody data for securities services, noting the likelihood of increased trade fails across the industry. “There will be a significant uptick in settlement risks for the first several weeks.”About the ‘T+1’ Rule Making US Stocks Settle in a Day: QuickTake

‘Lot of Anxiety’

Under current rules, anyone purchasing a US stock has two days between hitting the “buy” button and actually having to deliver money for the trade, while the seller has the same time to supply the share. This lengthy settlement period in such a large and sophisticated market is what remains from the days when transactions were manual and investors had up to a week to complete them.An undated image of a financial clearing house in New York. Stock trades were historically manual, which required a much longer settlement time.Source: Ilbusca/Digital Vision Vectors/Getty ImagesThat’s been whittled away over the years, and new SEC rules will slash the settlement time again on May 28 to one day. Across Wall Street and beyond, major banks, asset managers and an assortment of specialized service firms are bracing for the fallout.At JPMorgan Chase & Co., internal modeling shows about a quarter of the currency trades it processes for clients are set to be impacted. Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. is putting clients through a “T+1 simulator” to identify those with potential issues.Institutions including Societe Generale SA, Citi, HSBC Holdings Plc, UBS Asset Management, Baillie Gifford and more say they’re either moving staff, reorganizing shifts or building new systems — and in some cases all three — in preparation for the switch.“There’s a lot of anxiety even just around the technology and the actual way by which settlement will take place,” Amy Hong, head of market structure and strategic partnerships for global banking and markets at Goldman Sachs Group, told the Bloomberg Sell-Side Leaders Forum this month. “There are going to be some mismatches around funding, there are going to be some FX-related issues that we’re going to need to work out.”The world of finance and investment can be famously averse to change, with doomsayers dependably appearing whenever new rules are proposed. Yet in the case of T+1, the concerns go beyond one or two market Cassandras.Just 9% of sell-side firms polled by Coalition Greenwich in April and May said they expect the T+1 switch to go smoothly, with 38% warning that buy-side managers are unprepared, and 28% believing trading platforms aren’t fully ready. Almost a fifth anticipate a large disruption with “many or severe issues.”The consensus view is that trade failures — when either a seller doesn’t deliver securities or a buyer fails to produce payment — are about to rise. The question is how large and persistent that uptick will be.Settlement failures are generally a tiny feature of the modern market, usually stemming from technical issues or human error. They can result in regulatory punishment, loss of capital tied up in the trade, and even — in very rare instances when the transaction is large enough — the collapse of parties in the deal.The T+1 regime increases the chance of failures because the compressed timeframe risks making errors more likely, while at the same time reducing the opportunity to correct them. Most crucially, it makes it harder for buyers and sellers to ensure their funds and securities are ready.The $7.5 trillion-a-day foreign-exchange market is a flashpoint of the shift, because currency trades typically settle on a T+2 basis. An overseas investor buying a US stock will soon need to either have dollars ready or find them within a day in an arena where it can take two.

Friday Fears

From its Edinburgh headquarters over 3,200 miles from Wall Street, the £225 billion ($285 billion) investment house Baillie Gifford has relocated two traders to New York and beefed up its settlement desk to help the firm stay active after the 4 p.m. US stock close.Thanks to the T+1 shift and a 6 p.m. deadline at CLS Group (a platform at the center of the market that settles over $6 trillion of currency transactions every day), that will become a crucial period for asset managers seeking dollars to fund their US trades. But it also falls around the start of what are known as the witching hours in foreign-exchange circles because of the famous lack of liquidity.

Bid-Offer Spreads Widen at End of US Session

Liquidity thins as traders head home, complicating late currency trades
0510MonMay 6TueMay 7WedMay 8ThuMay 9FriMay 10SatMay 1110 pipsSource: Bloomberg“If you look at the bid-offer spreads, they’re generally tight throughout the day and when you get to the 5 p.m. to about 8 p.m. Eastern, they just widen out,” said Brendan Burke, a managing director at BBH. “It’s as simple as there’s less liquidity in the market because the banks aren’t staffed.”Baillie Gifford has lobbied US regulators to get banks to extend their foreign-exchange trading hours and to continue providing liquidity until at least 6 p.m. in New York, five days a week. Since moving its staff in January, the firm has been trading as if T+1 was already in force to ensure everything goes smoothly, according to Adam Conn, head of trading.Adam ConnSource: Baillie Gifford“It’s about trying to mitigate the additional operating risk which is falling on asset managers,” said Conn. There will only be a “very short window” after the US market close to resolve problems, he said.Friday afternoon is emerging as a particular area of concern, because currency markets close on weekends, meaning liquidity is typically at its lowest just before the US joins Europe and Asia in clocking off. JPMorgan’s Brijen Puri, head of global FX services, said “neither the buyside or sellside really knows what will happen” in those periods following the switch.“Once there is more data about what's happening in that time zone, that's when banks as well as asset managers may decide on providing more coverage,” Puri said. “Like you have a night desk, you may have a Friday evening desk.”The Foreign Exchange Professionals Association reckons the problem will also be acute at month- and quarter-ends and around national holidays, risking “significantly increased volatility and wider spreads.” Overseas investors acquiring US securities before a local holiday will effectively be faced with T+0 settlement.“There’s 25 to 30 days a year where there’s potentially specific challenges,” said Vincent Bonamy, head of global intermediary services at HSBC. He has organized staffing for “specific holidays on a global basis” to help clients with liquidity provision.For all the preparation, the European Fund and Asset Management Association estimates as much as $70 billion of its members’ daily currency trades may miss the CLS deadline for next-day settlement. Firms without a US presence can use workarounds including purchasing dollars in advance or outsourcing their currency trades, but all approaches come with their own additional costs and challenges.Natsumi MatsubaSource: Russell Investments“Liquidity will be a big issue,” said Natsumi Matsuba, head of FX trading and portfolio management at Russell Investments in Seattle. “It’s going to be a learning experience for everyone.”

Double Jeopardy

The move to T+1 is intended to cut risks at the broker-dealer level of the US equity market, after the 2021 meme-stock frenzy forced retail-investor platforms like Robinhood to restrict trading in certain securities. That was because the collateral they needed to post — the cash to cover trades over the two-day settlement process — threatened to exceed what they could pay amid the surge in volume.The T+1 switch should alleviate such concerns because less collateral will be needed across a single day of risk. It may also improve domestic liquidity as cash in the market will be recycled faster. But it heaps pressure on the processes required to complete each transaction.The new rules require that affirmations are finalized by 9 p.m. in New York on the date of a trade. Data from the Depository Trust & Clearing Corp., which oversees post-trade functions for the bulk of American securities transactions, show that affirmation rate rose to 83.5% in April from 74.95% a month earlier.The firm says that represents “significant progress” as T+1 implementation approaches. But with only weeks to go it’s short of the DTCC’s own target for a 90% same-day affirmation rate.“It’s not actually a compression to 24 hours, but rather five hours, if you think that the market closes at 4 p.m. and you need to affirm by 9 p.m.,” said Pitts at Citi.The New York Stock Exchange on May 14. The move to T+1 is intended to cut risks to the US equity market, after the 2021 meme-stock frenzy forced retail-investor platforms to restrict trading.Photographer: Spencer Platt/Getty ImagesIn preparation for the switch, the DTCC has been conducting regular tests for nine months that will continue to the end of May. This has included gauging the industry’s ability to handle a “double-settlement day” like the one that will occur next Wednesday, when transaction volumes will surge as trades from Friday (still using T+2) and next Tuesday (T+1) will need to complete at the same time.The DTCC has added staff ahead of the transition and its plan for this weekend includes “watch events,” where members of the technical and product teams closely follow transaction flow, according to Val Wotton, general manager of institutional trade processing. “We are confident in our ability to support volumes on day one,” he said.

Kinks in the Chain

The US switch to T+1 means it’s leaving other jurisdictions behind, which is a headache for many investment vehicles operating across borders. While Mexican and Canadian markets are also moving to one-day settlement next week, others including Europe remain on slower cycles.In the new system, a US investor selling an ETF should get cash for their shares within one day, but the proceeds from the sale of a fund’s underlying international stocks will likely take at least two days to arrive. And when most overseas investors buy a fund containing US stocks, the new underlying assets should be paid for in one day, even though the payment for the ETF shares may take two or more.It’s the kind of mismatch that has previously existed across various geographies, but never on this scale, and it risks adding friction and operational costs to many investment vehicles.Adding to the pressure, the T+1 switch comes just days before MSCI Inc. indexes rebalance, with corresponding funds all over the world due to reshuffle holdings at the end of next week.“It carries significant volume and stress normally on T+2, requiring massive effort from the system,” said Citi's Pitts. “If you have extra fails from T+1 on top of that rebalance, it could be chaotic.”For UBS Asset Management, it’s the “largest trading date of the year,” according to Lynn Challenger, head of trading at the $1.7 trillion manager.Lynn ChallengerSource: UBS Asset Management“We anticipate a lot more funding requirements” on rebalance day, said Challenger. He said any issues may be compounded by the fact that much of the order flow could be in the same direction. “We’re speaking to brokers to make sure the funding will be there,” he said.To prepare for T+1 more generally, Challenger said UBS Asset has trained up additional US staff so they can generate FX orders and has built a new trading process to facilitate more same-day settlement.Many financial firms have these kinds of robust transition plans in place. The Coalition Greenwich research showed most sell-side respondents were not concerned about the readiness of their own desks. Yet each is connected to others through a string of trade processes, meaning any kinks in the chain could create problems for otherwise well-prepared institutions.“The sellside thinks there will be issues, but it will be someone else’s fault,” said Jesse Forster, a senior analyst of market structure and technology at Coalition Greenwich. “We could be in for a lot of finger-pointing over the coming months.”

BIT DESPERATE - how to boost refresh rate from multiple slaves on modbus RTU for display only?
hi All
I have TIA18 upd3 with 1200 plc with modbus cards as master talking to 9 slaves (2 are physical normal slaves and 7 are modsim simulations). I need to retrieve 6 float values from each only for monitoring not for control but only for monitoring.
At the moment when i change the value in the slave it takes about 5s to refresh the value in the DB which is too slow!!!
Can you please kindly advise how to achieve faster updates:
  1. change the speed from 9600 to highest possible but bit worried about noise in the panel - would it make much difference anyway?
  2. i am looking for parameters to tune on modbus load block eg. timeout is 1000ms so this can be reduced to 100ms? retries from 3 to 1 i guess
  3. All "new" modbus RTU blocks actually any better than the old ones called legacy - maybe i should try if the legacy will give quicker updated
  4. I guess using 9 modbus master blocks is not possible ? - forgive my crazy brainstorming
  5. would calling modbus blocks in OB32 with fixed speed like 50ms make any difference
  6. is there a fixed time taken by the modbus block - i heard it takes something like 4 cycle times - is that right?
  7. Anything else

2024.05.15 21:02 Separate-Loan186 A plea to plc engineers

Please always use DB or memory instead of input address in your code.
It will make it so much easier when a computer software shall start interacting with you plc code.
You can just have monitoring, simulations, emulations, literally anything becomes available, and so much easier.

2024.05.14 20:56 _admind Error on connect plc with AWS

Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble connecting a simulated PLC 1515 with AWS IoT Core.
My simulated environment is set up using TIA Portal within a VM VirtualBox running on a Windows 10 Lite image. The version of TIA Portal I'm using is 17. The network configuration on the virtual machine is set to Bridge.
I've been following a step-by-step tutorial provided by Siemens, which includes a base project. However, I keep encountering an error with code 16#8601 and subfunction status 16#0000_809A, with a state number of 20.
Despite following the tutorial closely and creating the necessary certificates as instructed, I continue to encounter the same issue repeatedly.
Could the virtual machine be causing these errors, or is it more likely an issue with my block configuration?

Best PLC simulator?
Hi all, I am studying for work the book, Pentesting Industrial Control Systems: An Ethical Hacker's Guide to Analysing, Compromising, Mitigating, and Securing Industrial Processes. Within the book there is a section that includes the installation of a Koyo Click PLC. Unfortunately, I'm not able to get my hands on this physical component. I was wondering if there is any software (preferably free or trial) that can simulate the entire hardware part.
Thanks to everyone who replies to the post

2024.05.10 22:10 CautiousPair2442 PLC vs Scada

Hi Reddits
I am new to the field of automation. I've done some product training on more specifically Delta HMIs, PLCs, and VFDs (entry-level to high-end) .
Please explain (briefly or in depth, just as you wish), the difference between PLC applications and Scada applications.
Can they do the same thing? Where will you apply PLC? Where will you apply Scada?
I've worked with PLC systems in the field, simulation of PLC programs in ISPSoft/DiaDesigner, programming, connection of field devices, and such, but where does Scada fit in? Does it have a purpose actually?
Thanks!

2024.05.10 22:06 Head-Weather-4154 Financing or keeping the money on your ISA. That's the question

Dear folks,
This post is a continuation of a topic I posted on: https://www.reddit.com/FIREUK/comments/1co7diw/will_this_purchase_have_a_significant_impact_in/
Let's think I'm getting a 17K car, of which I have 7K in cash and I have two options:
I performed a simulation with Barclays for 10K lent over a period of 24 months using the rate of 6.1% APR of which I have access, link of the simulator is here: https://www.barclays.co.uk/loans/car-loans/#apply
This would be 24x £442.92 = £10,630.08 so I will pay £630.08 in interest over 2 years.
If I keep the same 10K invested in one of the shares I own, for example Legal and General:
Share Price today = £2.486, let's round to £2.50 per share, this would mean 4000 shares.
This stock is growing dividends since 2012, only during COVID they didn't grow, but still paid the same amount of previous year, but for the sake of simulation, lets say they won't grow.
The stock pays 2 dividends per year, so it will be 4 dividends in total. The money I receive from dividends is reinvested on its own shares and I considering 0 growth on share price.
This will generate the following cash flow for the same 24 months:
DividendDividend per shareDividend ReceivedShares reinvestedTotal SharesAmount PrincipalN/AN/A N/A4,000£10,000.00 Dividend 1£0.0571£228.40914,091£10,227.50 Dividend 2£0.1460£597.292384,329£10,822.50 Dividend 3£0.0571£247.19984,427£11,067.50 Dividend 4£0.1460£646.342584,685£11,712.50
You can check the dividend history here:
https://www.dividendmax.com/united-kingdom/london-stock-exchange/life-insurance/legal-and-general-group-plc/dividends
Of course you have risks of having the stock market going down, but it is the same as stock going up and you earning more as well.
In short comparing both, you would keep the money inside your ISA, not loosing your allowance and will earning be £1,082.00 while doing so and keep the money available in case of a better opportunity.
Please let me know if you think it is a stupid idea and if you have any other suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

2024.05.10 08:17 butters1337 Anyone used Studio 5000 Simulation Interface?

I posted a topic previously about simulating the process to make code testing, operator training, etc. easier and it seems like the majority do this by introducing test code within the controller to fuzz the inputs and outputs but in some industry this is not an option because it’s considered “dead code” which is a no-no according to regs like GAMP 5.
I came across this fairly new looking software from Rockwell which seems to be included in some Logix licenses. It claims to allow you to run an ACD file on a PLC, LogixEmulate or Echo controller against a process model from MapleSim, Matlab, or Ansys. Matlab I am the most familiar with (Simulink FluidSim ftw) but I have yet to try it. These types of modelling softwares are used a lot to simulate like car or aviation designs against the microcontroller code but I’ve never heard of them used for industrial controls.
https://www.rockwellautomation.com/en-us/products/software/factorytalk/designsuite/studio-5000/simulation-interface.html
Curious if anyone has used it and also interested in how good of a fidelity did you get with the simulation - were you using a model based on actual process equation (eg. Simulink has some libraries for fluid simulation with all the equations built in), or were you doing a more heuristic model (eg. valve output is on so flow meter input equals the ideal number instantly or a hardcoded ramp)?

2024.05.10 08:17 belltestchamber The Complete Guide to Building a Battery Safety Testing Laboratory

Foreword

China is the world’s largest producer of primary batteries and the second largest producer and exporter of lithium-ion batteries. Battery products are high-risk products. In all aspects of its production, storage, transportation, testing and use, there may be safety accidents such as ignition and explosion.
In recent years, China’s battery industry has developed rapidly, and battery product quality and safety have received widespread attention. Battery testing laboratories are also undergoing large-scale development. Due to the particularity of battery products, many testing items, such as thermal shock, heavy object shock, vibration, short circuit, overcharge and over-discharge, and forced reverse charging, are prone to explosion or even fire during the test.
For this reason, while paying attention to the quality and safety of battery products and improving the ability of battery testing technology, it is also necessary to pay attention to the safety protection measures of the laboratory itself. As far as possible, avoid harm to the inspectors and bring damage to national property.

Product Classification & Testing Items

According to the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, the classification rules for dangerous goods, battery products containing strongly acidic or strong alkaline electrolytes are Class 8 (corrosive) dangerous goods. Lithium batteries are Class 9 (Miscellaneous) dangerous goods.
The battery product safety testing items are divided into: (1) Intended use: high-altitude simulation, temperature cycling, vibration, low-rate charging, etc .; (2) Reasonably foreseeable misuse: external short circuit, heavy object impact, squeeze, mechanical impact, free fall, forced discharge, abnormal charging, thermal abuse, incorrect installation, over-discharge, overcharge, high rate charging Wait.

Hazardous Characteristics of Battery Products

In addition to lead-acid batteries, dangerous corrosive electrolyte spills may occur during transportation. During overcharging, a gas containing hydrogen and oxygen as main components is generated. It may cause the pressure of the battery to rise. If it encounters an open flame after the overflow, there is a danger of explosion and fire. It also includes the release of toxic gases such as arsine and antimony, and lead exposure hazards.
The qualified phenomena of lithium battery products during testing include:
  1. Quality loss;
  2. Leakage;
  3. Release;
  4. Short circuit;
  5. Rupture;
  6. explosion;
  7. Fire and so on.
It’s worth noting that leaks or fires are accompanied by toxic gases.

Requirements for Laboratory Accreditation Guidelines

Precaution

Battery products, especially lithium batteries, have the danger of spontaneous combustion and explosion during storage, testing and transportation. For battery testing activities or laboratories, we must first establish the laboratory’s own safety precaution mechanism and develop effective preventive measures. And it is implemented in every step of sample storage and testing to prevent potential safety hazards to the greatest extent possible.

Facilities & Environmental Conditions

During the testing of battery products, especially during short circuit, overcharge, forced discharge, extrusion, and thermal abuse tests, the risk of explosion and fire suddenly increases. At the same time, the battery charge and discharge detection cycle is very long. Therefore, it is necessary for the battery testing laboratory to take effective personnel protection, area isolation, fire smoke extraction, remote monitoring and other measures.

Battery Laboratory Fire Protection System

Battery testing items are often dangerous and have long cycles. At the same time, batteries are chemically hazardous and require special fire extinguishing agents.
Common fire extinguishing agents:
  1. Water fire extinguishing agent;
  2. Foam fire extinguishing agent;
  3. Dry powder fire extinguishing agent;
  4. Carbon dioxide fire extinguishing agent;
  5. Haloalkane fire extinguishing agent and so on.
These fire extinguishing agents have their own advantages and disadvantages, but not all of them are suitable for battery laboratories. Inert gas extinguishing agents are more costly. Therefore, it is more appropriate to configure an automatic fire alarm system and FM 200 gas fire extinguishing system for centralized control of fires caused by batteries. Set up smoke and temperature detectors in each functional area, multiple methods (manual and automatic), multi-level control, high reliability.

Battery Laboratory Ventilation & Air Conditioning

According to the power mode of ventilation, it can be divided into the following two modes:
In addition, mechanical ventilation can be divided into the following 2 modes:

Smoke Extraction Measures in Battery Laboratory

The smoke exhaust measures can be divided into natural smoke exhaust and mechanical smoke exhaust. Mechanical smoke exhaust can be divided into local smoke exhaust and centralized smoke exhaust. The mechanical centralized smoke exhaust system usually consists of a smoke retaining wall, a smoke exhaust port, a fire exhaust valve, a smoke exhaust duct, a smoke exhaust fan, and a smoke exhaust outlet. For environmental protection, you can consider adding a dust collector before the smoke exhaust outlet to avoid direct discharge of toxic and harmful smoke and dust into the atmosphere.

Battery Laboratory Flameproof & Explosion-proof

Explosion protection, that is, the impact of the explosion is limited to a predetermined area.
Based on reasonable area planning, multi-stage flameproof measures are recommended:
  1. Equipment-level flameproof measures;
  2. Facility-level flameproof measures;
  3. Personnel-level flameproof measures.
Explosion prevention and explosion prevention measures such as laboratory layout (test area and control area), equipment surrounding protective isolation (such as vibration, shock, collision equipment peripheral protective cover), and equipment’s own protective isolation to ensure that when battery samples explode Personal safety of test personnel.
In addition, explosion-proof measures should be taken. For the planning area prone to battery explosion, the battery laboratory adopts an explosion-proof pressure relief device from the design, forming a weak link to prevent the harm caused by the explosion.

Explosion Protection & Smoke Extraction of Battery Testing Equipment

The testing equipment needs to have sufficient flameproof mechanical strength. In particular, the part facing the operation area must not burst or damage the equipment. Therefore, to implement the structure and strength design, try to use a fully enclosed frame and steel box structure.
Additional explosion protection measures are:
  1. Safety valves (such as several independently designed non-standard equipment and battery test cabinets);
  2. Bursting discs (such as thermal shock boxes, high temperature explosion-proof boxes), etc. The smoke exhaust design mainly includes two function parts: smoke alarm and forced smoke exhaust and basic smoke exhaust facility linkage.

Remote Control of Battery Testing Equipment

Cooperate with the laboratory area planning, develop a special control method suitable for battery testing. Remote control of testing equipment through network, serial port or electrical wiring. Change the traditional testing habits to ensure the safety of valuable equipment and personnel. Here, dual-host (PC + PC / MCU / PLC / DSP) or single-host (PC + LU) remote control mode is mainly used.

Summary

Because the battery is prone to explosion or even fire during the test. Not only should we pay attention to the quality and safety of battery products and improve the ability of battery detection technology, but also need to pay attention to the safety protection measures of the laboratory itself. As far as possible, avoid harm to the inspectors. Therefore, a safe battery testing device is very important.
Last but not least, we are a manufacturer of battery testing equipment and environmental testing equipment with 14 years of production and R & D experience. More importantly, we are very confident in the safety of our equipment. If you need battery testing equipment or environmental testing equipment, please consult us.

2024.05.07 23:11 KYJarv Appending a prefix onto a Micro820 tag

I'm working on a project for a river logistics company that wants to simulate a vessel PLC so they can setup telemetry software shore-side without actually having to connect to a vessel PLC system. The project is nearly complete - I have a micro820 PLC "mimicking" tags and the values associated with them for every manner of vessel and PLC they have. However I am running into an issue where I cannot mimick a certain tag from a CompactLogix based system with a prefix "Program:". Its a tag coming from a program that is not the default "MainProgram" in the PLC. CCW will not allow you to make a tag with a colon. Short of buying a compactlogix PLC and adding it to my panel, how can I expose a tag with "Program:" as the prefix?
It's a weird project I know, but I am out of ideas. If it helps there's also a 7 inch panelview 800 on the network. They won't let me change the PLC program on the vessels or modify their telemetry reading software, understandably.
Edit: There's no way to expose tags from a Panelview 800 over ethernet/ip is there?

2024.05.05 18:46 petpsycho2000 Delayed off circuit options

I’m wondering what would be the best way to build a reliable delayed off circuit. I plan to use this in a car I would like to build a circuit to control a DC 12 motor off a momentary input or triggered by a Hobbs switch or something similar. When the momentary is triggered, send power, the. After it’s released continue sending power for say 2-3 seconds.
My current choices: 1. Build a delayed off circuit with a cap, transistor and resistors. It should work based on the simulation I ran and I have it sketched up. Have a PCB made and mount it all to that. 2. Use a BU509TD relay for the time delay. 3. Use a 555 type timer. 4. Some kind of a small PLC
I’m leaning towards using the 509 relay as I think it will be the most straightforward option, is an automotive grade component, easiest to package

2024.05.03 08:19 hafizzz_ahmad Mitsubishi FX3G PLC with Beijer HMI E615​ Question

Hello,
I have a Mitsubishi FX3G 14M PLC and a E615 HMI from Mitsubishi/Beijer.
I'm using GXWorks 2 to do the programming and I have no problem to simulate the program.
For the HMI, I'm using E-Designer 7.52.
However, I can't seem to find how to simulate the HMI with the PLC.
I try to find resources on that, but all i can find is they are using real PLC with the HMI.
​Is it truly not possible to Simulate the HMI with PLC simulator?

2024.05.03 04:36 Terere_Py Tia portal v14 - Motion Control help.

Tia portal v14 - Motion Control help.
Hi guys.
I have this project where i need to manage some old baumuller servo motor with analogic input and encoder simulation output to the plc. The plc is the s7-1200 cpu 1214C. This servo needs to work at extreme speed-aceleration/deceleration time. To put it simple, the servo needs to move X degrees in a windows-time of 0.1 to 0.4 seconds. It must be extreme precise to move the X degrees in the given time (or even a little faster than the given time). This is causing me many issues with the Motion control configuration.
1- The responsiveness of the system is not estable. I have found some values of "Precontrol" and "KV" to be somewhat good but not good enough. Is there a way to find the right values manually? (Im using the Tia portal V14 updated. Even when i updated my tia portal V14, the auto tuning mode does not work and my program crash every time i try to use it). Here a image of the best configuration i found today.
https://preview.redd.it/01gzcva7f4yc1.jpg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=679902aba2d34aa2f68d9e03fc4f8e52b018f474
2- The aceleration and deceleration time must be very low to not even bother calculating the amount of degrees it moves in this process, or i must find a way to calculate the amount of degrees it moves between aceleration and deceleration so i can calculate the top speed of work. Does anyone know how to calculate the amount of movement between aceleration and deceleration?
3- Someone told me that i can change the mc-servo time cycle. Today i changed it from its original 10ms to 6ms to try. It was a mess. The servo now is vibrating in standing-still mode. I tried to undo the changes (change time cycle to 10ms again, or trying some values of kv and pre-control), but nothing changed, then i deleted the plc´s memory, rebuilded all my program and uploaded it, no improvements: now my servo motor is vibrating in standing-still mode. Can someone help me with this?
here is a image of the vibration:
