The 'no longer present' part got me too. But it's just another bit of logic to add to the latch or seal-in part. PLC tutorials are to be found by the bucket-load over the net. All of my problems I've solved by 1) RTFM, 2) scour the net and 3) post it up. Very rarely have I needed 3), since most of the time somebody else has already had the same issue and I can read the tips he got.
Agreed. I just thought it was ironic that everyone was lamenting how SIMPLE the circuit was, while at the same time failing to mention the unusual condition of not having the lamp light until the momentary signal was removed.
Kind of like saying "du-UH-uh" when you aren't giving the correct answer. Ironic.
Clay, a motor start circuit starts the motor when you PRESS the start button, not when you release it.
