I've got a FactoryTalk HMI program written using 7.0 with a runtime version of 5.1 (because PanelView firmware). Can I convert to 6.1 or 5.1 easily.
My customer tried to restore the file using the runtime, but he got message "You cannot restore the application from the runtime version. It was...
Looking for a little help or opinion here. My brother has a slab on grade house that has "settled" over 3 inches during the past year. It began in the interior of the house and has, just over the past couple of months, begun to settle in other areas (ie front porch, sidewalk, etc) Insurance...
Anyone ever heard of any minimum quality spec for water in a cooling coil? I assume this is in regards to calcium, bacteria, etc. If so, what is the standard way of communicating water quality requirements? The application is a SS cooling coil inside a slurry tank. Thanks.

Here's an idea fit for a Friday: I've got a robot control cabinet in an extremely dirty environment (foundry). The cabinet is rated IP54, and does not particular care for metallic dust getting inside it (from grinding and other metalworking). I'm looking to put this whole cabinet inside one...
Anyone with experience using Exlar brand actuators (or any roller screw actuator for that matter)? I'm just curious as to reliability, duty rating, etc for foundry duty applications (i.e. very dirty, hot, abusive, etc.) Thanks.

I've done a bit of research on the effect of temp on a material's magnetism, but I really need yes or no answer. Is is pointless to try to pick up an iron piece that is around 1600 deg F with a magnet. The curie temp is 1420 deg F so iron's ferromagnetism disappears, but paramagnetism remains...
Looking for some idea how to calculate power requirements for grinding and drilling granite. Looking to grind 1/4"-3/8 bevel around rectangular granite block (4" thk) and also drill up to 12" dia hole using standard hole saw. Speed is whatever is considered typical for granite. Thanks.
I'm currently using A2 tool steel hardended to 53 RC as fingers for gripping an iron ring which is cast into an aluminum part.(The fingers are attached to a three-jaw concentric gripper) The parts are between 700-700 deg. F. The fingers are about 1-1/2 wide, profiled for the ring, and...
