    PLC question for beginner...again?

    Hi guys - I've got a Mitsubishi FX-24MR PLC that I'd like to check the terminal configuration. I'm new and learning the ropes here so I'd appreciate feedback. I can see the top left-side (if looking at the PLC the right way up) has the power input (230VAC) - as for the 24v and 0v... is that my...

    PLC help required for beginner

    Hi Rob, Thanks for the response. It's for a trade show only and will be sat on a bench. No real life safety required at all - just a demo piece.

    PLC help required for beginner

    Hi everyone, I've just got hold of a FX3U-24MR unit. I've no previous experience with PLC's at all but have a little with Arduino and Rpi, so I'm hoping to teach myself as I go and looking for a good community to help. I've got a project at work which I'm going to start - it's basically a...

    Testing station and making it safer?

    Any chance of being a tad more constructive? Any other tests you would do? Would really help a lot if you could.

    Testing station and making it safer?

    If there are anymore tests I should be doing. Please do let me know. I purposely posted this on the DIY section to allow for any uncertainty in what I'm saying. I test all the diodes with the continuity setting then energise all bridge and half wave rectifiers - then test the voltage drop across...

    Testing station and making it safer?

    I always test them for faults. Both the resistance of the coil and to ground before i switch on. The other guys sometimes don't however..

    Testing station and making it safer?

    It's rare, but sometimes the rectifiers can be faulty and also the coils. We test them for continuity but sometimes they are partially shorted and pop the fuse. It's not often at all. Just wanted it to look neater and more professional really.

    Testing station and making it safer?

    It is yes. Thank you. Just wanted to check that the plug fuse is an acceptable primary failsafe. Often the equipment can have faults that we test.

    Testing station and making it safer?

    Hi guys, We have a little test station at work for checking the operation of electrical safety brakes, clutches and electromagnetic coils. The 230 AC all feed into different rectifiers... 24vdc...104vdc.. 207vdc... It runs off a plug top, max current is about 6A but I'm wanting to make a bit...

    People keep mistaking me with an Electrician?

    Thanks for the reply Pete. I kinda shot myself in the foot a bit... I don't regret doing it but people fail to see I did it for my own benefit really. I think you are right, maybe I need to be looking more towards a technical office based role. Thanks.

    People keep mistaking me with an Electrician?

    Hi guys, I've just recently finished my electrical and electronic HND.. I'm currently finding it near impossible to find a job. I've sent hundreds of CV's out and usually at the interview stage people realise I don't have the relevant experience to join their team. I'm an ex air conditioning...

    Electrical & Electronic HND... Now what?

    Hi guys, If anyone could offer me a little advice, it would be really appreciated. Mega quick background on myself... I left school and worked as a mechanic for two years, then did air conditioning and refrigeration (gained NVQ2) and worked in that field for 3 years, I then worked as a...

    Electrical and Electrical HND transferable skills?

    *Electrical and Electronic (apologies for the mispelt title) Hi guys, Might seem a bit of a strange question... I'm currently just in the final few months of my Electrical and Electronic HND. I've recently been helping my mate doing a house re-wire and really enjoy that side of things. If I...
