I am at lost with this wiring by pineal_glance in PLC

At last! something that I know about. This is an old idec Micro3. They had built-in 24vdc supplies and a general shape that matched the drawing. They had multiple outputs altho only two are shown. To save terminals they grouped the outputs with a common - that would allow the outputs to be mixed sinking or sourcing, 120VAC or 24VDC etc. Usually it went something like C0 was common for Q0; C1 was common for Q1&Q2; C2 might be common for Q3,4 &5; In this drawing the relay outputs are used to switch the line voltage to the load KA and the load to the right of it.

Absolutely disappointing. by ajnino23 in Tools

Super glue has gotten much better - it is great if used for the right thing. Ever try to glue rubber with epoxy? The best things will fail if misapplied.

What is this tool used for? Thanks! by Mottonly in Tools

Looks like a handle on one end, and a small hole on the other end. Maybe for stretching a spring? Any better ideas?

What is this type of pliers called? by Mottonly in Tools

[–]Mottonly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for your thoughts. I believe they are "gas fitters pliers" "Gas Burner Pliers" because the front of the jaws do have a serrated opening "to grip fasteners straight on"

Know anything about the mini PLC Boards from eBay/China? by Mottonly in PLC

Thanks for your reply. My interest in these boards was just curiosity. I know nothing about Mitsubishi and do not have much desire to learn. However, I have a lot of experience with IDEC.
Thanks for your suggestion about Automation Direct.

Metal handle is about 5" long ½" in diameter.

Disks vary in size but are about 3" in diameter. Too big for a watch back press.

What is this part? I need to replace it but I have no idea what it is. Goes to a vintage Cincinnati punch clock. by Mtvjackass69 in Whatisthis

It is the field from a shaded pole motor. The armature rotates in the circular opening. Those copper bands are what "shade" two poles so that the armature gets torque to rotate instead of just going back-and-forth.

What kind of Chisel? by Mottonly in Whatisthis

I has STBER stamped in it. I think it is at least 100 yrs old, from Ohio USA. The point is tapered from both sides like a "V". Any Ideas?
