Relay Control System (Normally Open,Held close)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a sequential control circuit involving limit switches and pneumatic cylinders. The user is trying to clarify the operation of a Normally Open (NO) and Held Closed (HC) switch in relation to the positions of a pneumatic cylinder, specifically at retract (a0) and fully extended (a1) positions. There is a request for more information, including a schematic diagram or operational manual, to better understand the setup. Participants emphasize the need for clearer details to provide effective assistance. The conversation highlights the importance of precise terminology and context in discussing relay control systems.

Hi guys, currently i am stuck with the limit switches in the sequential control circuit.

the Normally open,heldclosed, Normally closed,held open , normally closed and normnally open.

Let's say if bo is NO,HC. so the switch will be normally open then once bo is actuated then the switch will be closed?

Hi stags! Welcome to Physics Forums!

I cannot understand your question from what you've written. What's "bo" What application is the sequential control circuit being used in? Is there a schematic diagram at some website? Is there a manual of operation with a simple theory of operation?

If you post a diagram of your thought problem members here may be able to assist you.

Hi bobbywhy,

I am talking about pneumatic cylinder so when the cylinder is at retract position it is at the a0 position, when it is at the fully extended position then it will be a1.

The alphabet doesn't matter.
 
Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
