You should try the Dinrail mountable outlets from ASI. Single outlet is something like $13. I have been using them and it is easier than mounting a box, outlet and faceplate.

Yes, those are much nicer, Bob (HERE'S a link for other people).

I'm amazed you're not promoting THESE from A-D. Oh wait, promoting is Mike's job...

Oops, messed up the pics.

See my next couple of posts.

The first pic is a stainless can for a food processing company.
On the right side you can see a little of a master control panel I designed for a US auto plant.

This is the first three doors of a 5-door Motor Control Panel.
There were two of these (nearly identical) panels on this job. That is a 1200A main CB. The big devices are Allen-Bradley SMC Soft-starts, bypass contactors and associated hardware.

Eric,

I would but I have no use for 3 outlets and they are then more expensive than I want to spend. When allthings are considered equal, I go with the cheapest. That is why I have not used the 24VDC Power supplies either. I am getting a really good price on Idec's PS line. I absolutely refuse to spend $415 on a modem and $400 on an Ethernet switch. B&B Electronics has an industrial Ethernet switch for around $180.

Here are two more pictures from the same project:
1st picture: The control panel with PLC and HMI (sorry, I dont have a photo from the inside of that one )
2nd picture: The sub-panel with VFD etc. (its the outside of the panel that I posted earlier).

By the way Rick, I like your fold away platform on the inside of the door.

Bob, I got my modems at the local computer reseller... I cant tell you how much I paid for my most recent purchase beacuse I havent finished counting them yet.... I would guess about $2.00 a pound, for a box of them weighing about 100+ lbs... They are all Supra 14kbs with a handy digital display, and alum housing.

ADs modem also dials out. I guess that's what the $400 price tag is for..

BTW do you use B&B DE311 (eithernet converter)? Is that what your talking about?

Mike,

Thanks for the info. I do not use modems very much in my systems. I have been finding out that most of my customers request Ethernet ports more than anything else.

So,

What is the trick to posting an image here?

I'll get a better pic of the panel by itself later

Very cool 'swing out' EX-Touch there, Mark. Is that an accessory from the enclosure manufacturer? If so, what brand enclosure?

And, as SAK-CO TECH mentioned, Rick's shelf is a nice addition. One question though. If you fail to fold it down before closing the door, does it wipe out the components on the fourth row?...

The enclosure is custom, we build it as part of the machine

Of course if you fail to fold the screen closed before closing the door banghead then we sell some spare parts

I was referring to Rick's shelf, but yes, your HMI door would surely 'trash' the panel. I notice you carefully positioned it to destroy only the most expensive components!...
