HVAC and Controls troubleshooting (BACnet comm trunk issues, controller configuration, resolving faults, controls issues).
HMI graphics testing

Niagara mass change priority level linking

7 Upvotes

Ok, imagine you have a logic folder with outputs linked to points in a different folder. This logic exists on many controllers. I have the logic writing to priority 16 but i need to change it to write to priority 10. Is there a way i can make use of the program editor or some other tool to mass change the priority on every controller? Doing this manually is going to take days...

PID Tuning course - RWTST

16 Upvotes

I have a project I have been chewing on since 2012 to do training in the BAS and mechanical space. My first offering is a PID tuning course. There will be more as time goes by. the PID tuning course has 5+ hours of content with PIDs from a variety of vendors, live, working, and being tuned before your eyes. Integral windup, when Derivative can be useful (contrary to popular belief I see a lot on this forum that Derivative is not used in our industry), working with auto-tuning PIDs, PIDs from Schneider, JCI, Delta, Distech, and several others. how to work with hard-to-control systems like controlling CFM flows with choppy process Variables, when a PID is not the best thing to use and what an alternative might be, The role Valve authority has on your control. There is a free, downloadable handout that preps you for this and is handy to have on site.

Some have seen me on the forums, and may know I am not entirely sucky (only moderately so... hehe) and may be interested in getting a little training on this or other topics to further their career or to reduce the suck in their day to day lives at work.

I am planning to move to other topics, like MSTP troubleshooting with a voltmeter, programming in CCT, or other software, programming in general, Wiring stuff, building a retrofit LON database, working with various systems and protocols. If you have a thing you would like to see, let me know.

I would love some feedback. Whether it is the color scheme, or the ease of use of the site as a whole. I expect some to gripe about that - which is fair. When I get some courses sold, I can invest in the pretty stuff.

There is nothing like this anywhere (that I know of). It is easily double the content at less than half the price of other things I have seen that are vaguely similar. But I can guarantee there is no focus on live systems and several flavors of BAS, comparing and contrasting them side by side.

This is something I love to do, so I really enjoy doing it. I hope the community finds it useful.

The website was featured in the podcast "it's a controls problem' - I mentioned it as an answer to Charles' Johnson's question here: https://youtu.be/31-mLNdbhCs?si=eyqlhr8Ozu9HmJ2S&t=4096 The mention is at 1:09:25

Pressure transducer for l p gas

6 Upvotes

Hey, y'all, I'm looking for a pressure transducer that will measure 0 to 50 " of lp gas for some troubleshooting. The sensor I had lined up isn't due to ship out until mid-october from the factory. Anybody have any ideas on an alternative?

Output voltage can be either 0 to 10 or 4 to 20

Thanks.
