Tim would love me for that.....


Allen Bradley speak....funny shit. ....

The sensors would be a dry contact off a gauge or float...

So my first take would be a Consumer Off the Shelve board (COTS) board that monitors the analog / discrete inputs and converts this to a serial stream. This data is linked to the RF modem (slave mode) and transmitted to the modem (master mode) that interfaces with the Allen Bradley. It sounds like the output will require a conversion to be compatible with the controller so another COTS board may be required. If something goes dip widget the master (based on the Allen Bradley logic) would send out the proper command that the slave receives and sends via the COTS board to do whatever was commanded.
 
A-B PLC stuff is a little odd. Their various families don't really interface well either. We have two at work. The radiation cell runs an old PLC 5, the blender uses a SLC-500. None of the parts interchange, and I don't expect the programming would either. The PLC 5 replaced an older PLC-2. The program was basically run through a translator and spit out the other end. It works, but boy is it quirky.
 
The book is done...now we can pack this puppy up...

I generate those at the house Przem. I just finished loading the amp in the back of Janis pickup so she can take it to Fed Ex. They don't open till 10am and it won't register until it's scanned.

And the baby arrived back home... :-)

Before setting the WOPL to my main system, I'm going to run some sound tests loaded with Yamaha's S4115H. Initially DC offset when the unit was cold was: R = 0.007 VDC, L = 0.011 VDC. When I pushed the mains button the light in my house dimmed for a second - a new interesting adventure... When plugged to my interim setup with 102dB-effective Yammies, no input, amp's pots at max volume - .... dead silence!!! Nothing AT ALL. No buzzing or similar 'effects'.... Excellent!
Then with "Where Do You Think You're Going?" and "Communiqué" of Dire Straits with preamp 'at 11' I was literally blown out from the room :hello1::hello1::hello1: ...!

TBC...

Is picture #2 an optical illusion? To me it looks like the gain controls are on top.
 
Direct mode bypasses the 1uf cap, normal mode puts it inline. The purpose of the 1uf cap is to strip any DC coming from the preamp...

And is there anywhere here on the Forum the list of these wires, their lenght & colours? This would be extremely useful...

Check Joe's website for the installation notes for The backplanes. He has it all mapped out.

Yes Lee, I'm having a great time now while listening to my music.... :compress: Had to share it a bit...

BTW, when ordering with Joe the backplane and the driver boards, are the wires already in (or included in the package)? Is the rev.C driver PCB compatible with backplanes for PL700 fully comp?

Hi Przem

The silver Teflon wire kit is an orderable option for each backplane kit.
