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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

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

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...

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

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

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.

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

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...

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...
