Bit off topic but since I dont have anything constructive to do with grinder I decided to put the wheel arch on the camper.. finally.

 :bang: Been a bit quiet last few days as I have had to take a crash course in ladder logic to operate the plc, actually its not too bad once you get your head around it.
To start my main problem was I kept thinking of it like basic computer programming but afterwards I started thinking about it like a live rail and earth rail.
awemawson:
Just remember that ladder logic developed to replace umpteen relays, so yes, think of two power rails with contacts and coils between them in intriguing combinations

Been busy making power supplies need 24v for the plc and controls 12v at about 3amp for the y axis motor. Took a little time to work out the panel too (pic). From top left it is Grinder start/stop, X axis start/stop, then Y axis start and Y axis stop and the final 2 yellow are to bring Y axis backwards and forwards. Need to get some nice labels now.
