    Inductive Prox Problem

    There may be a problem on this site or, most likely, I'm misunderstanding your prior post. I do not see "SUBJECT: SENSOR: PARALLEL CONNECTION" in the topic heading of this thread. Maybe there's an error in this web page? My definition of parallel sensors would mean wiring the...

    Inductive Prox Problem

    Thanks for the info Jbartos, but this application does not use parallel sensors. Good reference material, though. Tef

    Inductive Prox Problem

    The new switch works well. I added a 12K, 2W resistor across the SSR control to ensure enough load on the prox. That should give a total of 15mA load on the prox (the prox requires 5mA min to 300mA max). In addition, I was told the system does not have to switch the solenoid during every...

    Inductive Prox Problem

    DOH! Of all the... I can't believe I left suppression of the solenoid off the design. SOP is to add quencharcs, etc. for systems with PLC's and other noise sensitive equipment. I hadn't considered the need for suppression to protect the switch. Thanks for the reminder! I'll be placing that...

    Inductive Prox Problem

    Prox is NPN. I switch the solenoid directly with the prox and use a mechanical switch to have the prox change to the SSR. I confirmed the load prior to use. The solenoid is 7W and the SSR is capable of 30W load. The manufacturer verified that the load should be ok. As noted above, I am...

    Inductive Prox Problem

    Hi all, I just finished a phone call with the manufacturer of an inductive prox that I'm using. The light on the prox switch indicates it is always on, however there is no output, other than the spec'd leakage current. I have moved the sensor away from all possible trigger material, but it is...

    Loss of GPO Access on Win2000 Administrator Profile

    Is the affected machine a Domain Controller? I thought Kerberos was already present, especially if the machine was a DC. It almost sounds like the machine is not part of a Domain. Just my 2 cents. Tef

    Looking for a Latching Solid State Relay

    Thanks for the info all. We're just going to wait for the part. No one had anything in stock. "Just In Time" manufacturing seems to equal "Just In Time To Miss Deadlines", anymore. Oh well. Tef

    Looking for a Latching Solid State Relay

    Can anyone point me in the direction of a Solid State Relay equivalent to an: SSAC NIF1B6A4 Latching, Solid State 6A, 120VAC Output 120V Control Voltage Our supplier dropped the ball, so I'm looking for a substitute to this relay. So far, my local suppliers are no...

    Looking for schematic on million year old drive...

    Thanks WAC. Boston Gear actually found the drawing for me. They said they'd fax it. Still waiting though..

    Looking for schematic on million year old drive...

    Can anyone point me in the direction for a schematic on a DC Drive with the following spec's? Mfg: Boston Gear Works Model: V200 Dwg No.: 2702215 I have a request in to Boston Gear, we'll see how it goes, but I figured I'd bounce it out here. Thx, Tef

    Looking for RJ45 physical switch.

    Thanks RAMConsult. Had checked Black Box prior to vacation. They say the do not have one. The circuit I am switching consists of a proprietary keypad / programming port which is designed for removal under power.

    Looking for RJ45 physical switch.

    Can anyone point me in a direction for a single pole double throw switch to switch between 2 RJ45 connections? Thx in advance, Tef

    Anyone used the "Screening" attribute in a Plot Config File?

    Thanks Rich! Unfortunately I've come to realize the printer is a problem. I tried your method, but my printer is producing very poor quality when fading. I'm thinking the issue is in my Laser Printer Driver. Fading of individual lines results in inconsistency in the line quality. Fading...

    Anyone used the "Screening" attribute in a Plot Config File?

    Does anyone have any tips on adjusting "screening" in an AutoCAD plot configuration file? I need to fade out sections of a drawing. I currently set a "Phantom" layer to a specific pen color and adjust the pen color screening in the PCF file. I'd like to use screening, but...

    THHN 16AWG Diameter?

    Thanks David! Sadly, I was at the Superior Essex site and didn't even see it. Guess I better get my eyes checked... [3eyes] Tef P.S. - Nice to see other EET's out there.

    THHN 16AWG Diameter?

    Can anyone tell me the outer diameter for THHN 16AWG? My NEC book only goes down to 14AWG. Thx, Tef

    AutoCAD - Via WD Electrical Package

    Anyone else using Via WD? I'm having database problems, and Via Development will not support their product unless a maintenance contract is on hand.

    Testing 575V Motor On 480V System

    Thanks for the information, all. Mechanical tells me we have a 2.0 SF on the motor application. To be safe, I'll have the motor mechanically decoupled. I just need to spin them up to check operation. Once again, this is simply a quick test. Commissioning will be on the specified 575V...
