darren read your message before you deleted it, thank you for understanding.


I am sure my teen age son can sympathise, granted didnt help going to the bathroom. but i felt bad this christmas he came to visit. i ended up collapsing in the bathroom after i took a shower, my wife coudnt get up, so she went to get my son to help. Lucky for him i made my slip some underwear on me first. figure i coudnt afford the cost of the therapy affter see ing his dad naked laying in the middle of the bathroom

LOl..I understand!!..How long has it been since you were diagnosed?

You can narrow down the standards that apply to your particular type of machine. Here's a good summary:

NOOOO a safety PLC does not...look again at what is necessary...ie it is not ALONE, note what you stated;

????. Never mind .

 

[WTIM]

safty!

If you look at the new arc/flash and LOCK OUT SAFTY Standerds you
will never have to go into a live panel agin! And this the law,
if your boss dosen't get it call OSHA.

 

[rsdoran]

wow

I guess you can read but undoubtedly you can not understand...WTIM

I am an uneducated redneck from the deep south...damn what is it with mis-spelling simple words like standard? It is no wonder that our children can not read and write above an 8h grade level because most of us do not try to.

I will not sympathize with health issues...I can call and raise most of those but do not discuss it online, ever thought why I have so much time free to be online?

Joe,


Unless you haven't already seen it, check out this recent thread.

There is a site that John W posted for STI that although not comprehensive it looks like some of the OSHA and ANSI codes might give you a good start in cross referencing "official" codes for machine safety.

Actually, this is cat 3 and his usually satisfactory for OSHA purposes. A single fault in the safety circuit should not lead to the loss of the safety function and, where practical, should be detected.

Cat 4 shall detect a fault in the circuit and multiple faults in the circuit must not lead to the loss of the safety function.

This is the circuit I described.

K1/K2 = MPCE1/MPCE2

Again it was not an attack, it was too point out some issues. The main issue doing PLC/control work AND NOT BEING familiar with the code/standards involved.

Mistakes can happen to the best of us I guess. Go easy man. Or, as the saying goes. Have a Coke and a smile and...

"...as the saying goes. Have a Coke and a smile and..."

...sit-down, shutup, and have another hit on the bong!

AGAIN TO POINT OUT, WAS NOT ASKING WHAT A PERSON SHOULD DO, but what are the scifics acording to law.

Like I had pointed out the way I wanted to do it was the proper way use n/c contacts (mushroom head operators) send back to individual inputs, plus lock down power that feeds all outputs. The biggest problem i had was this just didnt control individual machine, controld the whole factory. when I presented this problem to my boss, was told it wasnt in the budget.

I realised at the time it wasnt code. Basically it was just common sense. I just wannt to know if there are spicific codes that control this, and if a simple call to the right authoritis to correct this,, or do people have to wait untill someone gets hurt.
