Making images of hard drives is a useful way of having backup copies of all your information, including your entire operative system.

For many years, only a few companies made this kind of programs and they were expensive. But now, there are some free alternatives that make this possible without spending any money. Besides, they are pushing commercial products to lower its prices because of the new competition.

The industry is lead by two applications, Acronis True Image and Norton Ghost. These two are great and include an impressive array of options that many of the free applications don’t have. But most users won’t use them anyway.

DriveImage XML

The first application i want to talk you about is DriveImage XML, from Runtime Software.

Official description:

DriveImage XML is an easy to use and reliable program for imaging and backing up partitions and logical drives.

The program allows you to:

• Backup logical drives and partitions to image files
• Browse these images, view and extract files
• Restore these images to the same or a different drive
• Copy directly from drive to drive
• Schedule automatic backups with Windows Task Scheduler

Macrium Reflect Free

The second one is Macrium Reflect Free.

Official description:

• Create a disk image whilst running Windows using Microsoft Volume Shadow copy Service (VSS).
• Image to Network, USB, FireWire drives and DVD.
• Built in scheduler.
• 32 bit and native 64 bit versions.
• Industry leading compression levels and speed.
• Linux based Rescue CD with Network access and full GUI. Only 6.5MB in size!
• Built in CD/DVD packet writing engine. Supports packet writing to DVD DL media with Windows Vista.
• HTML log files.

No Excuses

There are free tools to make those important backup disk images. It is up to you which one to choose.

Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 SP1 now supports Windows Vista SP1, Windows XP SP3, among other new features. You can use it to run other operating systems without modifying your hard disks or current installation of Windows.

Here’s a description from Microsoft:

Virtual PC lets you create separate virtual machines on your Windows desktop, each of which virtualizes the hardware of a complete physical computer. Use virtual machines to run operating systems such as MS-DOS, Windows, and OS/2. You can run multiple operating systems at once on a single physical computer and switch between them as easily as switching applications—instantly, with a mouse click. Virtual PC is perfect for any scenario in which you need to support multiple operating systems, whether you use it for tech support, legacy application support, training, or just for consolidating physical computers.

You can even download virtual hard disks (VHD) from Microsoft to try them on Virtual PC 2007. As far as i remember, there are Windows Vista VHD, Office 2007 and Visual Studio 2008.

So, if you are among the people who haven’t tried Vista yet, now is the time to do so.

Check the system requirements to make sure you can run it.

"For Automation System such as HMI/SCADA testing, it will be better if use Virtual PC. It will help a lot before you create on Real PC. Especially for system integrator Virtual PC is solution to make test platform and test some configuration".

Understanding the basic features of the SLC500™ (Small Logic Controller) in your facility will maximize your productivity. The SLC500 includes fault detection with built-in diagnostics. Understanding these features is critical to running an efficient operation.

Battery

A lithium battery retains the SLC500 memory. The battery is located in the Central Processing Unit (CPU) next to the power supply of the SLC500 rack. Replace the battery on an annual basis or if the low battery signal activates. The Besser part number for the battery is 113773F00BA.

Fuses

A fuse protects the SLC500 power supply and, if burned out, will cause the indicator light to turn off. The fuse will open due to an incoming power problem or a short condition within the power supply. Insure the replacement fuse is equivalent to the one being replaced. The fuse is a 3 amp time-delay – Besser part number 111847.

Memory Loss

A power surge or a low battery may result in memory loss. The CPU fault light will illuminate to indicate a problem. To restore the memory, turn the panel power OFF. Insert the Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM) into the socket of the CPU and restore the power. The SLC500 will automatically read the EEPROM into Random Access Memory (RAM) and go into RUN mode. The CPU RUN light will illuminate to indicate a successful transfer. Turn the power OFF and remove the EEPROM from the unit. Note: In the case of Besser Lithibar equipment, the EEPROM remains in the unit. If a memory loss occurs, power cycle the SLC500 and the unit will return to run mode.

"Cleanliness is the Best Policy" when it comes to maintaining electrical equipment in a concrete products facility. Focusing on a few simple practices will extend the life of electrical panels and graphic display units that are connected to your equipment.

Best Practices:

1. Keep panel doors and box covers closed. Dust and moisture are two of the biggest enemies of electrical devices.
   
   
2. Remove debris from electrical components. Heat build-up can occur when electrical devices are covered with dust or concrete. Dirt, once inside a component, is trouble.
   
   
3. On a monthly basis, check electrical connections and keep them tight. A loose wire either in a panel or on the machine will cause electrical arcing. Arcing can cause intermittent machine operation and eventually a breakdown.
   
   
4. Keep electrical wiring diagrams, logic documents and operating manuals clean, neat and easily accessible. Plant personnel will need these items to effectively troubleshoot the equipment.
   
   
5. Ensure tags and labels are readable and securely attached to electrical devices. This will help identify items when servicing the equipment.

Overall plant efficiency and productivity is increased with preventive maintenance. The added effort will pay for itself in the long run. Maintaining a clean facility also improves the overall atmosphere. Employees will show more pride when their workplace is neat and organized. Attitudes are more upbeat which positively affects work quality. An uncluttered environment also promotes safety.

For OLD Application...

SLC 5/04 processors (OS401 and greater) support DF1 to DH+ Passthru. With this feature, you can connect to a 5/04 processor through Channel 0 using the DF1 protocol and access any node on the DH+ network, regardless of the baud rate of the DH+ network. It is also possible to connect a modem to Channel 0 and connect to any node on the DH+ network via modems.

At this time only PanelView devices at FRN 3.3 or higher can be accessed using the SLC 5/04 passthru. Pre FRN 3.3 PanelViews do not recognize PCCC messaging which is the protocol used on the DH+ side of the SLC. An alternate bridge solution would be a 1770-KF2. The customer should consult their local distributor for other hardware, serial to DH+ bridge, solutions or firmware upgrades.

To use this functionality with the RSLogix 500 software, you need to use the following procedure:


PROCESSOR SETTINGS:

RSLogix500

1) Configure Channel 0 of the 5/04 processor for System Mode using Full-Duplex. This can be done by accessing the Channel Configuration Window and choosing the appropriate settings.

**Note the Passthru Link ID setting for Channel 1 (which is 2) and Channel 0 (which is 1). If channel's 1 and 0 have the same link ID's then RSLinx/RSWho will not see through to the DH+ network.








2) You must then access the Chan 0 Tab on the Processor Status File and disable the DH485 to DH+ Passthru and enable DF1 to DH+ Passthru by setting both S:34/0 AND S:34/5 high. Note: If you want to view active DH+ nodes in the 5/04 status table, S:34/1 must also be set.






The above settings must then be downloaded to the processor using either Winlinx or RSLinx. Once the program has been downloaded, comms drivers must be altered as detailed below to see the entire DH+ network. Also note that the driver verification in Winlinx and Auto-Configure in RSLinx will no longer function correctly since DF1 packets are being passed through Chan 1. Both functions will still determine the baud rate, but acknowledgements will no longer be received causing the error checking to fail.

COMMUNICATION SETTINGS:

WinLinx

The uLogic/KF3/CH0 driver was initially used to download the project to the 5/04. This driver must be deleted from Winlinx and the KF2/KE driver must be used instead. Be sure to set the correct baud rate and turn on the Don't Verify Settings radio button. Click OK to accept the driver changes. The SuperWho screen will poll address 1-77 and display any active DH+ nodes.






RSLinx v1.7

To download the program, recall that the Device Type option was initially set to SLC-CH0. Change this to KF2/KE and click on OK.







Select Communications > SuperWho and 'right-click' anywhere inside the Who screen and choose Configure SuperWho. In the dialog box, change the Station Update Mode from Graphical (default) to Normal and click OK. The resulting Who screen will begin polling from node 1 thru 77 octal and display all devices connected to the DH+ network.







Remember, the RSLogix500 Who configuration is separate from the RSLinx Who configuration. Be sure that the Normal mode is chosen in both configurations.

Note: RSLinx 1.7 requires that one of the nodes on the DH+ network be set to station 1. If none of the nodes are set to 1 nothing will appear in the SuperWho. This is not a requirement for RSLinx revision 2.1.


RSLinx v2.0

Once the program has been downloaded, in the driver configuration dialog, change the Device Type to 1770-KF2/1785-KE and click OK. Click Close to save the change. If Autobrowsing is enabled, the RSWho will automatically poll the DH+ network using your AB_DF1 driver.





Note: RSLinx 2.0 requires that one of the nodes on the DH+ network be set to station 1. If none of the nodes are set to 1 nothing will appear in the RSWho. This is not a requirement for RSLinx revision 2.1 (or higher).

Proper Installation Techniques must be followed to prevent immediate or premature failure of Butterfly valve seat, disc or shaft on any size or make wafer-style Butterfly valves.

PROPER INSTALLATION PROCEDURE IMPROPER TECHNIQUES
Pipework opened to allow free valve entry with the disc in a semi-closed position.	Pipework not spread sufficiently - could tear rubber seat. Disc in open position will hit flange and score disc edge.
Valve in semi-closed position to (1) protect disc edge, (2) reduce rubber interference during installation and start-up, and (3) help reduce initial torque build-up.	Disc as shown in fully closed position causes seat distortion. When flanges are drawn up, rubber will close around disc edge creating excessive torque in initial operation.
Disc should be turned to full open position after flange alignment and before evenly pulling up flange bolts.	Incorrect pipe alignment will cause interference between disc edge and flange face creating leakage and excessive torque for opening valve.

June 2, 2009 - GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms introduced its scalable high availability solution for the PACSystems RX3i controller. By combining essential processes and capabilities onto one platform, the PACSystems RX3i controller is one of the most powerful, scalable, flexible, and efficient means to increasing productivity. It now adds high availability to its multi-domain functionality along with logic, motion, HMI, and process control.

Built on a synchronized hot-standby redundant control platform with transparent bumpless process switchover and easy configuration, PACSystems High Availability facilitates continuous uptime in essential applications.

GE Fanuc’s PACSystems RX3i High Availability is designed to keep essential systems running efficiently and reliably by connecting two independent controllers on our proven RMX reflective memory technology link providing up to 2 Mbytes of data synchronization. If an event occurs with the primary controller, the control functionality is automatically switched over to the redundant controller for continuous operations. It serves the needs of applications where continuous uptime is essential to profitability, where bottlenecks must be avoided, remote locations where time and cost to repair is extended, and operations where work stoppage means lost production. It can be found in areas as diverse as protecting critical information in data warehouses, ensuring water quality at water treatment plants, and keeping the power on for hospitals and surgery centers.

With PACSystems High Availability, operations globally are delivering results for a sustainable competitive advantage:

Problem

Almost everywhere where products or materials are processed or worked, the temperature has a decisive influence on the quality of the final product and the course of the process respectively. It is thus necessary to record the temperature, to interpret its influence and to specifically react to changes in temperature using control technology.

Solution

The device combination of SIMATIC products and SIEMENS temperature sensors including measuring transducers is an excellent solution to the mentioned problem. In this application, a Pt100 sensor records the temperature of a measuring object and a SITRANS TK-L measuring transducer converts the sensor's measuring signal into an injected current which is supplied to an analog input of the compact CPU. The current temperature measurement value is displayed both numerically and as a bar chart on a TP170A touch panel.

Using the special STEP7 application software, which you can download (see below), it is additionally possible to ...

• define seven temperature ranges which are displayed on the touch panel and represented by DO bits. These bits can be used to trigger various user actions.

• display limit temperature violations requiring acknowledgement, react to them (in the program) and acknowledge them.

• provide the last insufficient or excess temperature with a time stamp.

The WinCC flexible configuration of the TP170A is integrated in the STEP7 project. The user interface languages German and English can be selected.
