    Electrical Design

    I use AutoCAD LT as well for schematics. I have heard many good things about AutoCAD Electrical, when applied to electrical control panels. I just haven't gotten to the point where the price justifies the means yet. Some of my buddies like the www.SKM.com software for Power designs, and you...

    Yes, go to www.automationdirect.com and download the manual for it. Make a 120V cord up and plug it in. Hook up a 24V switch for an input and a 120V light for an output, and have at it.

    ELECTRICAL MOTORS AND CONTROLS

    For a 50HP, 460V motor Design B the FLA is 65A. The max. inst. setting = 11 x 65 =715A You are allowed to go up to 17 x 65 =1100A if the 715A is proven to be too small for the starting current.

    PE Exam Preparation

    PE Exam Calculator

    Go with what you are familiar with. I used the HP33S this past October because I use HP calculators. I also bought the Casio model for a backup, I liked it also it was very easy to use. After purchasing, make sure you practice with the calculator so you can perform all the functions you...

    Subscript Out Of Range Error Message

    The variable CurObjNo% does not relate to an item in the Item array, or is Item a collection? Has Item been initialized correctly? If Item is a collection then:Collections are 1 based, and CurObj% may equal zero. That is usaually what happens to me in these cases.

    Baldor DC Servo - Stepper???

    No, it is a servo motor, not a stepper. I replaced something thatlooks just like it not to long ago, although I think mine was just a DC motor, not a servo. Baldor is usually pretty good about handling old motors, have you checked with them?

    One Piece flow discussion

    [COLOR=red]"Does 1 piece flow really mean 1 piece flow? so producing lets say 10 items in every cell and passing it(crate of 10 items) down to the next cell would not be considered 1-piece flow? Or would each cell send down 1 unit as soon its cycle is complete? Does that really make sense...
