Re: Off robot air compressor

Hi. Looking at pneumatics for the first time. It seems that rule <R103> (2007 manual) is silly. It requires that the robot controller monitor the pressure switch and turn off the compressor when the limit is reached. Wouldn't it be much safer to put the pressure switch in series with the input signal to a spike and have the compressor safetly turn off when the pressure is reached without worring about the controller and software having to monitor it?According to <R103>, what the previous posted said would not be legal.

Brian
