Hi,
I have drawn out a circuit diagram to take a standard isolated 24Vdc control panel power supply input and enable it to be used in a DIN rail box mounted PICAXE circuit to control temperature of a heated bed for horticultural seed germination (and probably other things later on).
The main idea is to avoid the annoying resets typically encountered where the power supply (and/or) inputs are noisy with spikes. We have an extensive electrical system to which are connect many 3-phase water pumps, vent motors, sodium lamps, and solenoids. Where possible I have added suppression at the source of inteference with: X2 caps, MOVs, and snubbers, but it is not perfect. Where possible too, the obvious step of keeping clear on mains voltage cable runs is taken.
The thing is, there is not a great deal of space in my 3wide din rail mounting box and so if anything deemed unnecessary could be left out then it would help putting it all together.
I was wondering what anyone with a good deal of experience with PICAXE in electrically noisy environments could cast an eye over the diagram and offer any thoughts/advice - polite of course.
Thanks in advance.
