 What's included?

Hi, welcome to this course where we efficiently and reliably plan Allen Bradley 22mm pilot devices, most common ones: 
  • Emergency stop push button
  • push buttons under normal conditions (START/STOP)
  • pilot lights (GREEN/RED)
  • selector switch with both momentary and latching contacts/positions (SPECIAL CASE STUDY)
  • twin push button (space saving solution and looks cool).

Generally, problem with the planning of such devices is that they have a lot of small pieces (similar to terminals with their accessories) that constitute a whole working part. This might get complicated sometimes. So that's why this course - to help you efficiently plan complete pilot devices without making errors or omitting necessary parts (or missing a logic NO/NC), holder, labeling plate, label holder, actuator of the right type etc.

As we work our way through the course I will show you additionally what all these components are for and I will parallel to that show you in EPLAN circuit diagrams where we typically incorporate such devices. Altogether a well rounded story that will make your life easier when planning manual controls for your project. From real-life, as always.
See you in the lectures.
