Bought a big pump control panel on an auction for under $10, used the BB relays on it for years to fix one machine, as this control box had over 30 relays on it, and they were obsolete and no longer stocked. Machine used them and still runs, even with relays that are over 40 years old and still original parts.

Ah that is a nice looking Mitsubishi melsec PLC. I had one of those from my grandfather who used to teach a PLC course at TAFE and the only thing that killed it was a dead EEPROM battery, which took out the program and some how the firmware too?? Absolutely awesome PLCs for everything. Very versatile.

Question: How do I find a scrap yard that has equipment like this? All I know of are junkyards like pull-a-part that only have cars, and if you're lucky lawnmowers!
@Aslyuriel6 жыл бұрын
My local scrap yard has three sections, The pile where the local trash goes, Noones allowed in there, too many needles, etc. the pile where the local scrap gets filtered into, Most stuff is free. and the pile where some of the still functioning stuff builds up and you have to pay for it.

@Aussie506 жыл бұрын
color coding is a bit odd, is this in the US? . you could take a multi-meter on Ohms setting and measure between pairs of wires in all combonations and see if its 3 phase. the readings should all be the same unless its burnt out, or single phase. that will get closer to finding out how to power it.

@wdavem6 жыл бұрын
Yeah some of those switches and indicators are candy. The thing is to remember that when the controls are good looking and they feel right and make sense for the application, what ever you are doing is far more fun to work with and it can change everything; especially if you are building and modifying the thing. Interacting in that control environment gets one to use their brain differently. A computer keyboard, mouse or touch screen or voice command will never ever get there in some cases. Maybe getting wired into the matrix and getting tricked into thinking your using controls like that is the only other way, but I don't trust that mere concept at all.
