Re: Multi color led indicator light


I think you can accomplish what you want with the two relays.

If you connect both relays and have both closed, amber would illuminate. Open the Red Light relay and the green Light will illuminate, open the Green Light relay and the Red Light will illuminate. Both open no illumination.

You can ...

Re: Multi color led indicator light

Thanks for your help and response RogDC. Yeah it's frustrating. When I bought this multi color led indicator to use like a "light stack" to mount to the front of my controls enclosure, I didn't think about the fact that the color RED only uses a common wire and 24vdc wire to illuminate RED. To get ...

Re: Multi color led indicator light

Yeah, I think I'm just going to eliminate the use of the yellow light all together and use the green and red light. Green means go, red means stop. Simple as that. Trying to figure out how to eliminate the use of a 3rd output and use just the 2 outputs to turn red and green on to give me yellow is ...

Re: Multi color led indicator light



Merry ACTUAL Christmas Day. Yeah I tried that code you provided CNCSNW and unless I'm doing something wrong which may very well be the case, it's not working. I beginning to think that because the "GreenLight" is assigned to and output and the "RedLight" is assigned to an output that I can't ...

Re: Multi color led indicator light


Yes, it does. It just does not do what he wants.

Somewhere around line 5550 in an Acorn PLC program:
;-----------------------------------LightStack---------------------------------
;Blink Lights, On 5 Seconds, Off 1 Second
IF True THEN SET LightTurnOnTimer
IF LightTurnOnTimer THEN SET ...

Re: Multi color led indicator light


That should work just fine.

If you needed to save an output relay, you could have the PLC program do the logic, so that it turns on both red and green whenever amber is called for. However, that would require that you edit your PLC program.

It's funny that you say that because I was wondering ...

Multi color led indicator light

Merry Christmas Eve everyone. I have a question maybe someone more electronics advanced than me can answer. I purchased a multi color led indicator panel light I'm going to use on the front of my electronics enclosure for my cnc router. Originally I had drilled a 22mm hole for a selector switch but ...
