Re: General Question About Pneumatics

You cut off one end of the PWM cable, and get some small "red" crimp on ring terminals which fit a #8 screw, and crimp them on the white and black wires, and you insulate the cut off end of the red wire.

Then screw the ring terminals of the black and white wires onto the pressure switch.

Then you plug the other end of the PWM cable into an input on the robot controller.

And you ONLY connect the compressor power wires to the output of a Spike relay. The spike relay requires a PWM cable connected to a Relay output on the Robot Controller.

Then you have to get the programming team to make it so that the Spike turns on the compressor only when the pressure switch senses that the pressure in the system is less than 115 psi, and shuts it off when pressure reaches 115. And be sure to have the 120 psi pressure relief valve installed on the compressor when you test this!
