    摘要: A lighting relay panel may include lower-cost features or components related to improved safety and reliability. In some cases, the relay panel includes a power supply capable of protecting the panel from high-voltage and high-current transients. A microcontroller may determine a power interruption based on a zero-cross signal received from the power supply, and may also configure latching relays during the interruption. In some implementations, the relay panel includes a relay sense circuit that is capable of receiving actuation signals from multiple relays connected to different phases of a power signal, and the microcontroller may synchronize or repeat the actuations based on a signal from the relay sense circuit. The microcontroller may generate relay addresses based on the relay positions within the relay panel. In some cases, the relay panel may include isolation circuits that are capable of providing an isolated control signal having an improved voltage range.

    摘要: A braking system can include a monitor circuit and/or a contactor control circuit. The braking system utilizes a number of contactors coupled between a power bus. The contactors selectively provide power to resistive elements. The monitor circuit is configured to determine the number of closed contactors of the contactors using current transformers. The contactor control circuit is configured to open and close the contactors. The control circuit includes a solid state timer circuit for each coil associated with the contactors. The solid state timer circuit bypasses a resistive element in series with the coil for a period of time.

    摘要: An electrical relay contact arrangement for switching an electrical relay ‘on’ or ‘off’ at zero crossings of an AC mains supply, wherein the arrangement rather than immediately sending a control signal from a microprocessor to the input of the electrical relay to close or open the mechanical electrode contacts when switching is required, relies upon a time interval made up two delays, firstly when the microprocessor first recognizes switching is required there is a waiting period until the next zero crossing, and then a further delay which is the time difference between the lag times of the mechanical contact electrodes physically opening or closing and that of the next zero crossing.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a glue gun for selectively supply molten adhesive. The glue gun comprises a housing, an actuator movable between actuated and non-actuated positions, and a nozzle configured to allow molten adhesive to flow therethrough. The housing an adhesive receiving chamber fluidly communicated with the nozzle. The chamber has an opening at one end thereof for allowing a supply of solidified adhesive to be inserted into said chamber. A heating element is associated with the chamber. The heating element is operable to apply heat to the lead end portion of the solidified adhesive supply sufficient to melt the lead end portion when an electric signal is applied to the heating element. A heating element controller operates to allow the electric signal to flow to the heating element for a period of time after the actuator has been moved to its non-actuated position and to thereafter prevent the electric signal from flowing through the heating element at the end of the time period. The present invention also relates to a timing circuit for controlling the amount of time an electric signal is supplied to an operative element.
