Hello everyone,
I am trying to build a test setup on my bench to train myself but hit a roadblock.
The setup is a compactlogix plc and HMI, SMC solenoid valve pack, small SMC pneumatic cylinder, vacuum generator and assortment of sensors, push buttons.
There is a 120Vac to 24VDC supply and air regulator etc.
I was able to make all of these work together very well. Now I want to integrate a pair of light curtains and EStop buttons.
I have a few safety relays of multiple kinds but I need a good bit of guidance on how to wire this.
Along with knowing how to wire this, I also wanted to know the intended action, say if EStop is pressed, does it cut power to the PLC or just the IO cards, valve pack etc ?
Thanks for any help or direction I can get.
