2025.05.02 – Pilot Devices and Sensors – Understanding the Basics

Inductive Sensors

• Inductive sensors use magnetic fields to find metal things.
These sensors see only metals 🧲
• They work at very short distances.
The closer the metal gets, the stronger the signal becomes ⚙️
• When metal enters the field, the sensor feels it.
This happens because the magnetic field changes ✨
• The change reduces the electric flow in the sensor coil.
This drop sends a signal to other machines ⚡
• The coil has a ferrite core to make the field stronger.
The field looks like a cone ⛰️

Correction Factors for Inductive Sensors

• Each metal changes the field in a different way.
This means the sensor sees them at different distances 🧪
• A table shows how much each metal reduces the range.
Copper and aluminum reduce it a lot 🧯
• Steel (ASTM A240) gives the best results.
Stainless steel can be magnetic or not 🛡️

Capacitive Sensors

• Capacitive sensors use electric charge to feel materials.
They detect things that hold electric charge well ⚗️
• They have two plates with space between them.
This space holds a charge when something gets close ✋
• When an object comes near, the charge changes.
This change tells the sensor something is there 🧼
• They can detect solids, liquids, and even powders.
Water and alcohol are easy to detect because they hold lots of charge 💧

Dielectric Constant (εr)

• Different materials hold charge in different ways.
This ability is called dielectric constant (εr) 🔢
• Air holds almost no charge (εr = 1).
Water holds a lot (εr = 80) 💦
• Wood changes depending on how wet it is.
Wet wood is easier to detect than dry wood 🌳

Optical Sensors

• Optical sensors use light to see objects.
They shine a light and wait to see it bounce back or get blocked 💡
• A small LED sends the light out.
If something gets in the way, the light changes 🚦
• A photodetector sees the light and sends a signal.
This signal tells machines that something is there 📸
• They work without touching anything.
That makes them very fast and clean 🧼

Ways Optical Sensors Detect Things

• Light barriers use two parts far apart.
The object blocks the beam between them 🚧
• Reflected light sensors have one part.
The object bounces light back to it 🔁
• Polarized sensors use a special reflector.
It only reflects light in one direction 🪞
• Perfect Prox (Perfect Proximity) sensors ignore the background.
They focus on one short area and skip everything else 🔍

Sensor Applications in Machines

• Sensors help machines know if bottles are present.
Even clear bottles can be detected with special sensors 🍼
• Sensors check if metal parts arrive on time.
This is key in machining processes 🛠️
• Capacitive sensors measure how full a tank is.
They work through tank walls or windows 🛢️
• Thru-beam sensors know how high something is stacked.
They count layers by seeing when a beam breaks again 📦

Other Useful Jobs for Sensors

• Carton sensors make sure boxes are filled right.
If the level is too low, they stop the line 📤
• Lid sensors check if cans are closed.
They look from above or from the side 🥫
• Vehicle sensors open toll gates.
They work even in rain or snow 🚗
• Sensors inside bins count plastic pellets.
They keep bins from overflowing 🧃

They help keep motors safe 🔄
• Valve sensors show if something is open or closed.
This helps avoid leaks 🧯
• Web sensors find breaks in thin films.
They stop the machine before damage spreads 🎞️
• Paper sensors work in tight spots.
They still see the paper clearly 📃
• Forklift sensors prevent damage.
They warn drivers when a beam breaks 🚨

What We Learn from All Sensors

• Inductive sensors love metal.
They are strong and very exact 🛠️
• Capacitive sensors love change.
They find nearly everything 🧃
• Optical sensors love light.
They see from far away without touching anything 🔦
• Each sensor has a perfect job.
Knowing which one to use makes machines smarter 🧠

2025.05.02 – Understanding Soft Starters: Basic Concepts from the Eaton Wiring Manual 10/23

What is a Soft Starter?

  • A soft starter is an electronic device for starting three-phase motors slowly.
    It controls how voltage reaches the motor during startup.
  • A soft starter uses a method called phase angle control to adjust the voltage.
    This avoids sudden jumps in power.
  • A soft starter follows the rules of IEC/EN 60947-4-2 (International Electrotechnical Commission / European Norm).
    This makes sure it works safely and reliably.

What Happens During Startup?

  • A soft starter increases the voltage from zero up to the normal value (UN).
    This takes place during the time called t-Start.
  • This smooth increase lowers the starting current.
    Less current means less stress on the motor.
  • The motor torque also rises smoothly.
    Torque is the force that makes the motor turn.
  • A smoother start protects the whole system.
    It reduces wear and noise.

Why Use a Soft Starter?

  • Machines last longer when they start smoothly.
    There is less damage to gears, belts, and pumps.
  • The system avoids shocks like water hammer in pipes.
    Water hammer is a pressure surge in plumbing systems.
  • Vibrations in conveyor belts get reduced.
    This helps in precise material handling.

What Is the Top of Ramp (TOR)?

  • The top of ramp (TOR) is when the voltage reaches its final value (UN).
    At this point, the motor runs at full speed.
  • Bypass contacts close at TOR.
    These help save energy by skipping the power stage of the soft starter.
  • Less heat reaches the semiconductors.
    Semiconductors are the parts that control current flow.

Deceleration (t-Stop) with Soft Starters

  • A soft starter can also reduce the voltage slowly when stopping.
    This helps avoid pressure spikes in pump systems.
  • The deceleration time (t-Stop) must be longer than the motor’s natural stop time.
    This ensures safe stopping.

How Soft Starters Control Voltage

  • Voltage rises during t-Start and stays at UN until the motor is fully running.
    After that, it stays stable until stopping begins.
  • Then voltage falls smoothly during t-Stop.
    This protects the system from sudden stops.

Understanding Ratings with Examples

  • Example: 55A: AC-53a: 3-5: 75-10
    This shows how much current the device can handle.
  • AC-53a is a standard from IEC/EN 60947-4-2 (International Electrotechnical Commission / European Norm).
    It tells us how the device manages motor loads.
  • 3 means the current is 3 times normal at startup.
    5 means that lasts for 5 seconds.
  • 75 is the percentage of time the soft starter runs during a cycle.
    10 means up to 10 starts are allowed per hour.

Types of Soft Starters

  • Two-phase soft starters are for simple tasks.
    They are smaller and cheaper.
  • Three-phase soft starters are for more complex tasks.
    They handle higher power and more settings.
  • Two-phase starters only work in in-line setups.
    Three-phase ones work in in-line or in-delta configurations.

Choosing the Right Soft Starter

  • You must know the motor voltage and motor current.
    Also the type of connection (star or delta).
  • The starter’s current must match the motor’s rated current.
    Otherwise, the motor won’t start safely.
  • The type of motor, load torque, and ambient temperature also matter.
    These affect how the soft starter behaves.

Allowed Motor Connections

  • Star and delta motor connections can work with soft starters.
    The choice depends on voltage and motor setup.
  • Motors with a neutral point cannot use a two-phase soft starter.
    This causes overheating and damage.
  • Always check that the motor type matches the soft starter.
    Incorrect wiring is dangerous.

Safety Warnings

  • A soft starter still has voltage at the output, even when stopped.
    This happens because of how thyristors work.
  • High voltage can cause serious injury.
    Always use proper protection and isolation.

Coordinating with Protection Devices

  • Type 1 coordination protects people and equipment.
    But the soft starter might need replacement after a short circuit.
  • Type 2 coordination protects both people and the device.
    The device keeps working after a short circuit.
  • Always place fast semiconductor fuses before the power stage.
    This keeps damage from reaching the starter.

Running More than One Motor

  • Several motors can use one soft starter.
    But the total current must not go over the starter’s limit.
  • Each motor needs its own protection.
    This includes fuses or thermal relays.
  • The motors should be similar in size.
    Big differences in power cause trouble during startup.

Slip Ring Motors with Soft Starters

  • Slip ring motors can work with soft starters if resistors get removed.
    The rings on the rotor must be short-circuited.
  • Some slip ring setups may still need a resistor group.
    This depends on the motor type.
  • Slip ring motors start with high torque and low current.
    This must match the soft starter settings.

Motors with Capacitors

  • Some motors use capacitors to improve power factor (cos φ).
    These are called compensation capacitors.
  • The output of a soft starter must not connect to capacitors.
    It would damage the starter.
  • Capacitors must connect to the line through a separate contactor.
    This avoids voltage spikes.

Features of the DS7 Soft Starter

  • DS7 is a two-phase soft starter with a bypass relay.
    It’s smaller and costs less than a three-phase unit.
  • It comes in 4 current sizes:
    4–12 A, 16–32 A, 41–100 A, 135–200 A.
  • Power and control circuits are isolated.
    This improves safety and reduces noise.
  • The front has 3 knobs to adjust:
    • t-Start (0–30 s): how long voltage rises
    • U-Start (30–100%): how low voltage starts
    • t-Stop (0–30 s): how long voltage drops
  • Maximum: 10 starts/hour, 40 with fan.
    LEDs show if it’s running (green) or in error (red).

2025.05.01 – Natalia y el Reino del Fuego Valiente

Había una vez, en un reino muy lejano, lleno de montañas doradas y cielos que cantaban al atardecer ⛰️🌅, un rey sabio y justo llamado Leonardo 👑.
Era un líder amado por su pueblo, conocido por su bondad, su risa contagiosa y su gran corazón.
Pero lo que más valoraba en todo el mundo… era a su hija: la princesa Natalia.

Natalia no era una princesa cualquiera.
Era hermosa, valiente, alegre y con una sonrisa que derretía cualquier problema ✨.
Para su padre, ella era su tesoro más grande, su luz, su orgullo ❤️.
—Mi princesa es mi fuerza —decía siempre el rey Leonardo con ojos brillosos.

Juntos caminaban por los campos del reino, hablando de dragones, justicia y pan de chocolate caliente 🐉⚖️🍫.
El rey le enseñaba a Natalia que un buen líder no manda… acompaña.
No grita… escucha.
No teme… protege con amor.

Un día, un gran desafío llegó volando entre las nubes grises:
¡un dragón enorme, con alas de fuego y ojos que lanzaban chispas aterradoras! 🐲🔥😱
El pueblo corrió a esconderse…
Las flores se marchitaron…
Y el cielo se puso triste.

Pero el rey Leonardo, aunque preocupado, miró a su hija y le dijo:
—Hija mía, este reto es grande… pero tú eres aún más grande.
Natalia, con el corazón latiendo fuerte y una mirada decidida, respondió:
—Papá, por nuestro pueblo… ¡yo lo enfrentaré!

Tomó su espada mágica ⚔️, su escudo de amor ❤️‍🔥 y una capa tejida con valor e historias antiguas.
Cruzó ríos, montañas y vientos salvajes 🌬️⛰️🌊, hasta llegar a la guarida del dragón.

La batalla fue épica:
chispas volaban, el cielo rugía, el fuego danzaba.
Pero Natalia no retrocedió.
—No peleo por gloria… peleo por mi gente —gritó mientras daba el último salto.

¡ZAS! ¡PUM! ¡BOOOOM! 💥🔥⚡
El dragón, cansado por tanta nobleza y valentía, bajó la cabeza y se rindió.
El reino estaba a salvo.

Cuando volvió al castillo, su padre corrió hacia ella y la abrazó tan fuerte, que hasta las estrellas se acercaron para mirar 🌟🤗🌟.

—Gracias, hija mía —dijo el rey Leonardo, con lágrimas en los ojos—.
Eres la verdadera heroína de nuestro reino.
Me siento orgulloso de ser tu papá, y de gobernar contigo, mi valiente princesa.

Desde ese día, el reino vivió en paz.
Las flores volvieron a cantar, los dragones aprendieron a bailar 🐉💃, y cada rincón del mundo conoció el nombre de la valiente…

¡Princesa Natalia!

Fin, pero solo por hoy… porque las leyendas verdaderas nunca terminan ✨

2025.05.01 – Natalia y el Pedorrón Mágico del Reino de los Tontitos

Había una vez una princesa que no sabía estarse quieta.
¡Se llamaba Natalia y era más traviesa que cien changuitos brincando en camas elásticas! 🐒🛏️🐒🛏️🐒

Un día, el Rey Leonardo (su papá) le dijo:
—¡Nataliaaa, por favor compórtate como una princesa elegante!
Y Natalia respondió:
—¡Sí, papá! —y acto seguido… ¡se tiró un pedo tan fuerte que voló tres sillas del salón! 💨💨💥

¡PUMMMMM!
El pedorrón fue tan explosivo que movió las cortinas, apagó las velas y despeinó a toda la corte.
Hasta un gato salió volando con cara de ¡¿qué ondaaa?! 🐈💨🤣

Todos se quedaron en silencio…
hasta que el Rey Leonardo soltó una carcajada tan fuerte que se cayó de su trono de nachos 🧀👑🤣.

—¡Eres la princesa más pedorra y más chistosa de todo el reino! —gritó mientras se sacudía el queso de las orejas.

Desde ese día, Natalia fue conocida como:
“La Princesa Pedorrina, salvadora del buen humor”.

Cada vez que alguien estaba triste…
¡Natalia se echaba un pedo musical! 🎺💨🎵

—Prrrrrt tiritíiii, prrrotónnnn, ¡prrrripiiiiiii! —hacía mientras bailaba cumbia en chanclas. 🩴🕺🤣

Un día, el Reino de los Tontitos fue invadido por los Serios Aburridos 🤖😒, unos monstruos que odiaban la risa.
Pero Natalia no tuvo miedo: se subió a un burro cohete 🐴🚀, apuntó su trasero al cielo… y…
¡BOOOOOOMMMM!
Soltó el MegaPedorrón Sideral que sacudió todo el universo.

Los monstruos salieron volando, los serios se rieron hasta hacerse pipí, y el reino fue feliz para siempre, oliendo medio feíto, pero lleno de carcajadas. 🤣💨🤣

Y el Rey Leonardo le dijo:
—Hija mía, no hay duda: ¡el amor más grande… también puede oler a pupú! ❤️🤣💩

FIN OLOROSO Y FELIZ.

2025.05.01 – Corrientes Nominales y Protección de Motores Trifásicos: Fundamentos del Eaton Wiring Manual 10/23

Definiciones clave en sistemas trifásicos

• Los motores trifásicos estándar (IE1/IE2) forman la base de numerosas instalaciones industriales actuales.
⚡ Estos motores funcionan típicamente a 1500 revoluciones por minuto (r.p.m.) y utilizan refrigeración por superficies internas y externas.

• La corriente nominal de un motor trifásico representa el valor recomendado para motores de jaula de ardilla.
⚙️ Este valor sirve de referencia para seleccionar dispositivos de protección y conmutación.

Protección mínima contra cortocircuitos

• El tamaño mínimo del fusible para proteger contra cortocircuitos depende del dispositivo de conmutación o del relé de sobrecarga.
🛡️ Esta protección evita daños catastróficos ante fallas eléctricas repentinas.

• Las corrientes nominales de los motores trifásicos permiten establecer estos valores de fusibles.
🔌 Se aplican a motores con arranque directo o arranque estrella-triángulo (Y/Δ).

Arranque directo (D.O.L., Direct On Line)

• Durante el arranque directo, la corriente puede alcanzar hasta 6 veces la corriente nominal del motor.
⏱️ El tiempo máximo de arranque bajo esta condición es de 5 segundos.

• Este método de arranque aplica a motores que no requieren control de picos de corriente.
⚙️ Se utiliza principalmente en motores de baja potencia.

Arranque estrella-triángulo (Y/Δ, Star-Delta)

• El arranque estrella-triángulo reduce la corriente de arranque a 2 veces la corriente nominal del motor.
⏲️ Permite un tiempo máximo de arranque de 15 segundos.

• El relé de sobrecarga del motor, en este tipo de arranque, se ajusta a 0.58 veces la corriente nominal.
⚠️ Este ajuste protege eficazmente sin interferir en la operación inicial.

• Los valores de fusibles para este tipo de arranque también aplican a motores trifásicos con relevadores de arranque.
⚡ Esto estandariza la protección sin comprometer la seguridad.

Consideraciones adicionales sobre fusibles

• Para corrientes nominales más altas o arranques prolongados, se requieren fusibles de mayor capacidad.
⚙️ Esta adaptación mantiene la integridad del sistema ante exigencias mayores.

• La tabla correspondiente del manual aplica a fusibles “lentos” o “gL” (general-purpose Low-voltage fuses, fusibles de propósito general de baja tensión, según VDE 0636).
🧯 Estos fusibles permiten gestionar los picos de corriente sin dispararse innecesariamente.

• En el caso de fusibles NH con características aM (motor protection fuses, fusibles para protección de motores), la selección debe basarse en la corriente operativa nominal.
⚡ Esta especificación evita errores de dimensionamiento que podrían afectar la protección del motor.

Resumen técnico esencial

• Cada componente en la protección de motores trifásicos se dimensiona en función de la corriente nominal y del método de arranque utilizado.
📘 Esta práctica asegura compatibilidad, eficiencia y seguridad en instalaciones eléctricas.

• El manual Eaton Wiring Manual 10/23 establece valores y criterios normativos esenciales para ingenieros, técnicos y electricistas.
⚙️ Estos estándares se deben aplicar con rigor para garantizar la continuidad y la fiabilidad del sistema.

2025.05.01 – Dormir sin desaparecer: conciencia, miedo y continuidad del yo

The discomfort of unconscious continuity

• Many individuals experience sleep as a simple rest period.
Others feel the approach of sleep as a terrifying retreat from existence.
This fear has nothing to do with insomnia or physical restlessness.
It comes from a deeper space: the idea of becoming unconscious for hours.

• The body must rest, the brain must reorganize, and the immune system must reset.
Still, the conscious self resists surrendering control.
This resistance intensifies when the individual questions what truly happens during sleep.

• The perception of time vanishes during the night.
Sleep eliminates the linear awareness that daytime consciousness provides.
That loss of internal witness frightens certain minds.
The thought “where was I all these hours?” emerges sharply upon waking.

• Some attempt to stay awake not out of stimulation, but to avoid the unknown void.
This produces tension, not between rest and wakefulness, but between being and un-being.
It is not rest that disturbs — it is unawareness.

Self-perception and control during the sleep process

• Consciousness wants to monitor itself.
It wants to observe its continuity.
Sleep denies this privilege for biological purposes.

• The conscious self, when deprived of perception, may feel erased.
Sleep becomes not a pause, but a perceived annihilation.
This is especially true for individuals who strongly identify with inner awareness.

• To combat this, people may introduce light, sound, or physical objects into their sleep environment.
These elements serve as anchors — reminders that existence continues.
Lights and music offer continuity. Dolls or symbolic objects represent the self still being there.

• These strategies do not eliminate fear.
They attempt to create perceived presence during unconsciousness.
The fear is not of sleep itself — the fear is of invisibility of the self.

The role of sleep in human restoration

• Sleep is not passive.
It is active biological reconstruction.
Tissues repair, toxins clear, emotions balance, and memories consolidate.

• Consciousness cannot remain active during these processes.
The brain shifts resources away from external awareness.
Cognitive control interferes with repair.
This necessity fuels the conflict: I want to be aware, but I must stop being aware to heal.

• Biologically, every part of sleep has structure.
The night consists of cycles: light sleep, deep sleep, and REM.
Each cycle performs specific functions.

• Despite this, the individual may still experience distress.
Because restoration without witness feels like death to the conscious ego.

Temporary strategies to minimize perceived disappearance

• Some set alarms throughout the night to break the illusion of prolonged unconsciousness.
This method fragments the night into manageable intervals.
Instead of facing eight hours of darkness, the person faces 90 minutes of reduced awareness.

• The alarm serves not to interrupt sleep violently, but to affirm:
“I still exist. I returned. I remember myself.”

• The person may configure each alarm with distinct characteristics:
soft chimes for intermediate reminders, firm tones for final awakening.
Each serves a role — to reconnect with the continuity of the self.

• These acts are not symptoms of dysfunction.
They are educational manifestations of a deep existential relationship with sleep.
They reveal how identity interacts with biological rhythms.

Philosophical recognition of sleep as partial death

• Many traditional systems saw sleep as a rehearsal for death.
They designed rituals not to fall asleep, but to go to sleep with awareness of return.

• Sleep, from this perspective, is not nothingness.
It is a rhythm of retreat and return.
The fear of sleep equals the fear of unbeing.

• Yet the sleeper is not erased.
The body remains, the brain continues, and identity awaits at the threshold of morning.
Sleep is not departure. It is internal motion without witness.

Educational reflection

• The human mind values continuity.
The inability to observe one’s own being creates profound discomfort.

• This discomfort has educational value.
It teaches that identity is not only what we can see or monitor.
Identity includes what exists in absence of witness.

• To accept sleep is not to give in to void.
It is to understand that not all being must be seen to be real.
This is not poetic — it is neurological, emotional, and human.

Conclusion

• Sleep challenges the belief that perception equals existence.
It forces the conscious self to accept that being continues, even when it is not being observed.

• Strategies such as alarms, symbolic objects, and awareness rituals serve to ease this transition.
They do not eliminate the fear — they educate the self to coexist with the unknown.

• This is not weakness.
This is the human search for wholeness, even in darkness.
And that search deserves recognition, not dismissal.
