How'n'ell you wrote all of that without a nip or two I'll never know.  One thing's for sure; I'll have to dry out for a couple weeks before attempting anything close to that!

Seriously though, you do have a gift for explaining things to us dumba$$es and it's much appreciated.

Its actually quite simple to do, or at least for me it is. You first need to know the sequence of I/O that you need to operate safely then you can write the ladder to make all the interlocks you need so one operation cant happen until the previous one has completed etc.

  With all the problems you solve on the forum and all the "real" work you get done I visualized a fat lump on the couch in the corner of your shop with a pile of meat pie boxes and Belhaven bottles stacked up beside it!:)

You`re lucky you`re only visualising it,I`ve seen it.

Aye you`re doing not bad for someone that couldn`t spell plc a while back.
Suppose it was a help when someone gave you half the schematic too.

Edit: Well,maybe not quite half.

No fair editing my post & takin' the pi$$ while he's asleep on the couch.

Still have problems spelling PLC but have dont seem to have an issue with reading things such as 0.1 Ohm 2W

Well any alcohol is too expensive for me, I dont touch the stuff

So that's my problem............ hmmmmmm....and here I thought I was just an idiot.....some personal choices I've made may not have been good ones

Which is just as well as ISTR when you worked out the colour code that was not quite the answer you got.
If you want Forbes and me will come up and do the technical stuff for you.You just need to say the word.
If we were doing that I might even be able to find the rest of the drawing.

If you get colour coding from not only a blind but a colour blind person you cant expect the answer to be correct
I will pass on the offer of help but thanks anyway. I know you are busy trying to fix these old machines to keep them running and would hate to tear you away.
Unlikely you could find the other half of the drawing, as previously mentioned, it has now come to light that you are not only blind but colour blind as well
