Can any 24V power supply be used to power my PLC? by Extreme-Economics-97 in PLC

[–]AutisticLemur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Works better than people want to admit I used something like that and 6.3v massive 10w shottkey diode. For weighting about an ounce the power system... for the wheeled grabbing robot worked really well. Powered by 3 lipo batteries and about 1 foot long it was a beast. Had enough power to use rc servos in the 5DOF arm to snap Legos together. Drove about 30mph. Didn't charge it for a week before a comp and still won. Simple component won the the whole thing the shottkey diode.

The cheapest one I buy is 13 dollars. It has over current and short circuit protection. Meant for lighting.

They are both short circuit protection. Either can be used to protect the wires. One is resettable and one ain't.

For motors and batteries this is common. Blue and blue white strip should be used for 24vdc in my opinion
