A stack light is a valuable tool for displaying the status of a machine or process. This is used to draw the operator's attention to the operation or condition of the machine. It is usually a vertical tower of colored lights programmed to turn on or off in various combinations to indicate different conditions. For example, a green light may indicate that a machine is operating, while a red light may indicate that it is not running. In addition to the lights, a stack light may include a horn or buzzer to provide audible feedback.
To use a stack light with a programmable logic controller (PLC), you need to wire it to the outputs of the PLC and program the controller to control the light. This article will discuss the five-step best practices for testing and wiring a stack light to a PLC and programming it for optimal performance.
