On delay one shot timers
On delay one shot timers
(OP)
I need help setting up a one shot timer, what we want to do is ....
main power is on, when the start button is pushed, we want a 30 minute delay, then a hone moves in to a knife for 10 seconds. we want the timer to self re-initiate, and if the stop button is pushed during the 30 minute delay, we do not want a reset, but a continuation of the count/time from where it was stopped. How can I do this? Can I do it wit a single counter/timer, or do I need more than one unit?

A very versatile device is the Siemens LOGO! It can be told to do what you want it to do - and plenty other things. Dead cheap, reliable, fun to work with.

Rocco,
Have a look at the 'smart relays' like the A-B Pico, The Moeller equivalent, the Telemecanique equivalent, the Siemens Logo! and similar products. They're easy to program and relatively cheap.

You will want one of those relays, a programming cable, the free programming software, a twist switch, and a lit push button. All of which is available on that site. Light the push button once the process is underway.
And about a day of work assembling it all and programming it to your ideal.
