Re: newbie inquiry

Mounir,
Yes stun guns produce many thousands of volts - an automotive ignition system can produce 75-100kV - a LOT of voltage. The primary reason that high voltages (such as 110v or 240v as used in your house wiring) do kill is because of the current path. The heart is the most susceptable organ in the body to electrical impulses and the disruption of the same. Thousands of volts can safely flow (though not without pain) through, say your middle and index fingers without doing a lot of damage. Don't get me wrong here - given enough current flow and voltage - it could easily remove a hand or a couple of fingers - lower currents such as those produced by an ignition system do not have sufficient amperage to cause severe burns - although they can "spot burn" the skin - not enough to notice. As I was saying earlier - the primary cause of death due to electrocution is heart failure as a result of current flowing through the heart - 0.0001 amperes is enough to stop the heart - but in the case of a stun gun the current flows between the two electrodes, and so doesn't get to travel to the heart. This is the reason for the old rule when it comes to working with high voltages - keep one hand in your pocket and ensure that you have rubber soled (insulated) shoes on. In this way the chance is highly reduced that a high voltage will flow from one arm to the other (and hence through your heart), or to ground (earth) through your legs, and again this gives a higher probablity of the current flowing through your heart. High frequency electricity also behaves quite differently to lower frequency electricity (say 20kHz compared to 50Hz or 0Hz (DC)) - higher frequency electricity tends to stick to the outside of your body (and such has been demonstrated many a time by the maniacs (no offence anyone :-) that operate Tesla coils having many millions of volts potential and sticking their hand on the output dome or toroid - the electricity flows over the outside of their body. Not that I would ever attempt such a stunt myself ... Hope this enlightens you a little Regards, J0n |

Mounir,
Doen't stun guns produce about 5000 volt? That at least doesn'tVoltage doesn't kill or even hurt anyone. I once had an electronics teacher in high school who said he had to wet his fingers to feel the 120 V power line. Of course he was kidding, but he was old and his skin was dry and his resistance was high. What 'hurts' is power, and probably energy. Power is voltage times current. The high voltage section of a TV set delivers about 30,000 volts, but the power supplies in those set are not designed to deliver enough current to kill someone. I suppose it's not impossible but would depend on the health of the person, etc. Those power supplies are also designed to shut down when the load draws more current than it's supposed to, i.e. when a person is getting zapped. Of course one would still feel that power briefly. I used to tell me students that if they touch the high voltage lead on a TV set they would probably cut themselves. That's because there are some sharp corners inside the set we were working on. Here's the math: The average person has several thousand ohms of resistance between those critical two points on the body, the hands. (It's critical because death results from current to the heart, usually AC). If the shocking voltage is the 120 V. power line one could draw 120 milliamperes or more in that case. It takes about 1 mA for you to feel it and more to kill you. I have a chart that gives the correct figures. We took a student and increase the voltage we had applied to him while measuring the current and when he yelled we figured he had felt it. When he died we knew what amount of current it took to kill him... Gotcha!!! So it takes power, and probably energy, i.e. power times time to do work and certainly to kill someone. Those defibrillators you see on the medical shows operate in the thousands of volts, but their force is measured in Joules, i.e. Watt Seconds. Jim |

angtengchat,

It's true that some of the recent conversations have been a bit advanced, but there have also been many messages that are elementary in nature. The way I handle something like this is just 'hover' for awhile and see if I can make out what's being said. Jim |

Re: ASCII and Modbus
Jim Purcell
iman,
Unfortunetly theFirst off, stop bits have to do with seriel communication and as far as I know have nothing to do with the code. ASCII is a seven bit code in some systems, the extra bit is used for error detection, in others that bit allows for ANSI characters. Look at a good computer book and it will show those characters, in decimal they begin at 128. Jim |

about hackers not giving up there secrets isn't necessarily true. There's an electronic book available for free D\L called "The Great Hacker Crackdown" which is a true account of what happened when AT&T's long distance went down & they thought hackers had done it. But the part that was interesting is how hackers hacked into the local phone system to get free long distance. No one would have ever caught them except for the fact that they just couldn't keep it to themselves. After word spread about how it was done, someone thought it would be really funny to reprogram the phone computer so that when people tried to call the local police they got a phone sex place instead. That's when the it all hit the fan. The author said that most hackers just have to brag to someone or it isn't worth the trouble to hack into a system. D/L the book, it's a cool story.

experiments with electricity, put to plates close together hooked up to his static generator, & charge them? That part I'm pretty sure is true. But it seems like he then could take one of the plates away for a while & when he put it closely back together he could then discharge it. If that's true, how could the charge be stored in the air separating the two, especially when the air was circulating, which I'm sure it was? Maybe it was because it was a static charge, like we get in the winter from walking on carpet. I guess I'll have to look back at his experiments.

Jim & Anand,
I'm getting more clearly about this, Anand u're right this modbus i'll use for communication a DCS ( Distributed Control System) and a controller.This DCS is one of ABB product and the controller is a product of Altronic.Unfortunetly the controller use ASCII protocol to comunicate. Another question,How many bits a register in ASCII,is ASCII have stop bit,parity bit as MODBUS has ? I'm so sorry if my question looks so sily,frankly i'm really a beginner in this matter.
