When did this happen and why are you allowed back behind the keyboard here? Thought they put you in one of those lovely white jackets that does up at the back.

I just seen the CP FAH[^] link in Dave Auld's sig. I followed it and looked at the list and saw that most people on it are not active any more. In fact there is probably not even a half dozen active. Why did so many of you drop out?

I stopped a few months ago when I rebuilt my system and decided not to install FAH again.
P.S. I started running it once I got a quad-core CPU and I dedicated three cores to it.

When using the GPU for calcluations, my machine pulls down 330W while running that. That's a LOT of power for a machine sitting "idle".
When I'm using it and not beating the crap out of the video card (GTX 770) it's pulling down 150'ish watts.
My electric bill would be over $220 a month if I ran my machine like that all the time.

I draw 100 Watts idling with FAH running, but I am not using my GPU for it, just my CPU. I also have it set to the lowest priority.
The 100 watts runs my quad core machine, my modem and router, and what is called a web link box used to communicate with my barns.

It made my system (actually my work laptop) noticbly slower when VS was running, even on set to one of the lower usage levels. The setting abo e off, I forget which, didn't seem to use the processor power, but didn't seem to process anything either.

If Codeproject TV and Workspaces are gone, why do some members still have the "Premium" avatar in their posts?

Yes, you read right, IE 4
I just clicked a mystery '?' button on a scada display and the IE4 loading screen appeared.........  I feel like I have just stepped back 19 years! Which takes me back to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ATA_zyhsWA[^]
Now playing nice and loud!

No, its a windows 95 front end client workstation, I think the ? button was meant to take you to some help files once upon a time, but it is well broken now....

It never ceases to amaze me how far out of date the entire SCADA industry is. And they're proud of their "State-of-the-Art" crap.

We are replacing the system in 2015 with DeltaV. Engineering is well underway and the plant is convered in new instruments and cabling back to new equipment room with all the new logic solvers in place. As you can imagine the operators are desperate to see this commissioned.

I'll bet they're looking forward to it! In my business, they still think MODBUS and DNP over RS-485 are pretty neat.

We still have Modbus links to the standalone generator /pump controls and also modbus links to the VSDs associated with the wells and downhole ESP gauges. These are hooked into the DeltaV via serial cards. Works fine, although the modbus registers need to be configured in a particular way due to the strict requirements of the deltav system. You are limited to 16 datasets per port (2 ports) in each input module and the registers need to be in contiguous blocks of register types. This means that the equipment suppliers sometimes have to do a customer remap.

I have been in such situation as well. The problem was once the replacement was done. They start bitching because the new system was too different.  At the end I needed 1 month extra just to make everything I could to look like the old system

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
