Hi everybody!
I had two START bottons (monitor side and operator side) on the machine (Carruther-Slicer). Two different inputs from them to lautch one output. On last week the operator side's botton said "I don't wonna work any more". And production supervisor put second guy to push the monitor botton by operator request (every 20 sec) For the past week first shift including 6 mechanics, 4 technicians, 3 supervisors and two engineers could not fix it.
I work second shift (6 mechanics - two iust clocks in/out, and one damn supervisor). I have accidently asked him: "Why that machine is operated like this? What wrong with that botton". He said: "Oh, first shift top specialists are breaking their heads on it, they guess the input for that button burn up and waiting for new PLC module (Mitsubishi)". I said "But second botton is working, why they did not put the wire from the operator's botton to monitor botton's input, and why the bootons to start the same output use different input?" "Ah, do ya wanna do that, go ahead, do that" - he said me unbelievebly (like to ****). Gonna be a lunch time for production and I got it. Now it works.
I didn't dig ddeply, just put two wires on same input.
The question.
Why the manufacture has maden wiring like this - two inputs (wires have a same signal then bottons are pushing) to lautch one output?
And, did I fix it or what?
PS. I've been in America for 1 year (Green Card Lottery winner). I've got Master degree in Engineering Technology (6 years education in Moscow (Russia), evaluated by WES in Washington, DC). Have a first job over here like a Plant Mechanic I, trying to kick my supervisor's *** to make me a technician - no way. Looking for an engineering job everywhere (machine deisign, tribology and lubricating).
Have the second Diploma in Financial Management (Used to work like a financial analist in a bank last 1 year in my county).
