Objective:
The objective of this video is to provide an in-depth analysis of contact blocks and their application.



Product Line:
IDSIG - CONTROL, RELAYS & SIGN.

Environment:
N/A

Resolution:

When used in conjunction with a Harmony range push button, the:

1. Combination N/O + N/C, N/C opens and N/O closes
2. N/C contact opens when push button is depressed
3. N/O contact closes when push button is depressed

When used in conjunction with the 30mm range joystick application.

1. Combination N/O + N/C will stay open so that it is neither open nor closed
2. N/C contact is open
3. N/O contact is open

When the joystick is maneuvered, the:

1. Combination N/O + N/C will close at different positions of the joystick handle.
2. N/C will close
3. N/O will close

As such, these contacts do not act in the same way for a joystick as they do for the Harmony range push button application.
