Contactor to DOL starter & switches
Former Community Member
I have a DOL starter (https://docs.rs-online.com/c08c/0900766b81586106.pdf for reference) that I want to connect to my ac motor. I understand that the dol starter has a built-in contactor. I want to connect two other switches, a tilt and a proximity switch. Is it possible to connect these two switches to this DOL? If not how would I go about this?
More info needed I'm afraid. What do you want these extra switches to do when what is proximal or tilted ?
Turn it on ? trigger E-stop ? flash a warning light ? Look good ?
What is the AC motor doing ?
The start and stop buttons will operate what is in effect a self-latching relay that doubles as UV lock-off. In most desiigns adding more start or stop buttons is possible with a bit of cunning. data-sheet for the thing has the internal circuts on page 2.
