    Automotive Cable

    Does anyone know of any manufacturers that make multiconductor cable for auto/truck applications? I need a 2 pair cable. All the industrial cable I look at is rated at 300V, which seems very excessive. I would think that there must be cable that's rated maybe 50V just for cars/trucks.

    24V Charging System Voltage

    Does anyone know what the system voltage is for a 24 Volt vehicle whiling it is running? On a 12 Volt system, the running voltage is actually around 14 volts, I believe. I need to know if my electronics will be ok for a system that is installed in Europe on a 24V truck.

    Truck Wiring

    Is there an SAE standard that gives recommendations on wiring practices on trucks, fire trucks to be exact? We are designing a new product that will be installed onto a fire truck. I would like to make sure that our wiring is compliant with the SAE standard.

    A-B Networking

    I would definitely say ethernet. In my previous position I was in the process of setting up a network to gather almost the same information you are looking for. We had PLC5, SLC 5/03, Micrologix 1500, and SLC 5/05. I toyed around for awhile with DH-485, but realized it just wouldn't work in...

    SAE Wiring Standard

    Can anyone recommend which SAE standard would I use for wiring a device that goes onto a fire truck? The company I work for designs and manufactures fire fighting equipment. We are designing a new product that will mount on a fire truck. I want to make sure that the wiring, conduit...

    Tubing used as Conduit?

    For most applications the voltage will be 12VDC. When we sell this particular product in Europe, it will be 24VDC. The part we are designing is only 1 component that goes on a fire truck, we do not build the actual fire truck. I'm am still checking on the appropriate SAE standards to follow.

    Tubing used as Conduit?

    There is no generator involved with this application. I am only connecting two small DC motors to a junction box that houses the control boards. I have been searching through the SAE standards to find one that pertains to wiring practices on trucks. Any ideas? I appreciate Comcokid's remark...

    Tubing used as Conduit?

    We are designing a new product that goes on a fire truck. My boss likes the look of a stainless steel braid and wants to use Teflon hose with a stainless braid as the electrical conduit. I told him I didn't like it, mainly because it's plumbing, but I don't actually have a technical reason. I...

    Incremental Encoder

    I don't know about the Baldor product. We are in the process of designing a custom board to control a brush DC motor. This board will have a micro and will continually store the position in non-volatile memory. In case of power failure the position will be saved. Upon power up the position...

    need help on how to write to a display w/a micrologix

    Vorne Industries makes a very nice, large diplay. I've used them to display cycle rate on a hydraulic press. All you need is an input to the display. The input can be a sensor or relay contact that triggers once per cycle. This same display can also totalize the count and records downtime...

    DC Brush Motor Commutation Count

    Has anyone ever heard of a control scheme that counts the commutations on a DC brush motor? I assume that there is some circuit that counts spikes on the current. This count could then be used in place of an encoder.

    Incremental Encoder

    I am designing a new product that uses 2 dcpm motors to control horizontal and vertical positioning. Due to cost we would like to use an incremental encoder. Has anyone ever used an incremental encoder and continuously saved the position so in case of a power failure, the position will be...
