I have these T-5 fixtures in my shop my ceiling heigth is 13' they are very bright, I would really consider putting them on individual banks, maybe 2 on each switch. Overall I have really liked them, I have 6 fixtures in my 26 X 42

I have been thinking about alarming also, I have a hobby greenhouse and during the winter months I would like to be notified if the temperture approaches freezing.

Exactly, I often use the User Data types if I am doing a large project, if I have a large amount of pumps or other equimpent I will create a UDT pump and define everything that I want for it i.e. start, stop, commanded speed, amp draw, etc... Much easier than the only systems.

Glenn, I did also, I programmed PLC and SLC controllers for many years, took me a while to get used to the tag based system. Now down the road a few years I like it much better! In the old controllers you was limited "online" to the amount of data structure that you had defined, so if you...

They were and are a great controller, the only problem with them is they are large, and Rockwell has not done any real development with them since the release of the 5000platform, same with the SLC's. Since the 5000 series is 32 bit, they have not done a lot with the older 16 bit processors.

Same here, learning the language is about the hardest part, my boss still really struggles with it, seems like I am speaking a foreign tongue to him most of the time.

I have had them dissintergate also, the orange handled ball pein set and the dead blow set

This pic is shown with the gate in the closed position?

What material have you used? 1/2" black pipe and 3/8" rod?

I would also be interesed in the images, as I also have a gate to build.

John very nice, it looks like we do very similar work, I have used the compactlogix quite a bit, more the contrologix. I cut my teeth on PLC 5 and SLC's which we still have quite a bit of, I hate having to do anything in Logix 500 after working in 5000 for so long. I have used the prosoft...

Or just use an offset ****** or a chase ****** and a locknut

I agree with you, I'm not saying the the Opto22 stuff isnt good. I have delt with it in the past but nothing recently.

I agree with the cost of the AB equipment as I also am a Allen Bradley guy, I have done a few projects with the Automation Direct equipment though and for the cost it isnt horrible especially for a basic system. The web connectivity isnt an inexpensive thing with the industrial equipment

I totally agree that you can do anything you want with them, you are limited only by your imagination! I have built many systems and added to existing systems for years. Allen Bradley equipment becomes very addicting. After you automate systems and have to troubleshoot them you wonder how...

It all depends on what you want to automate, from working with PLC's most of my career they have there place, very good at repeatable processes, discrete I/O and analog. The problem is they are expensive when you compare them to most of the home automation products.

Well I thought I would post an update on my summer project. The scissor trusses went on without much of a hitch, we had to add a top plate to the top of the wall and cut a few of the cinder blocks on the gable ends but nothing to big. Since the roof has been installed I have completed the...

I have a large set of these 19.2 volt tools but all of my batteries are shot, is it worth replacing the batteries for these tools?

If this is a new compressor and already wired, the L1 and L2 terminals will not have wires in them or they will be attached to the incoming power cord. the T1 and T2 will be going to the motor.

The contacts are always straight though, if the terminal is labelled with a voltage that will be the coil, the top will be L1, L2 and the bottom T1, T2 the bottom has the OCPD on it.
