Visual inspection combined with a visual display. For proper\u00a0consistent inspection of each produced part the DC-10T-DN-BCD<\/a> is just the timer for the job. It can be set for any value minutes and seconds, reset and repeated millions of times. Toyota<\/a> also needed notification through a PLC when the period had been completed. The timer was fitted for a 2 second end of period sourced output to a PLC to complete the cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consistent visual inspection is an important part of maintaining quality during manufacturing. For the Toyota Alabama<\/a> plant, a DC-Digital DC-10T-DN-BCD<\/a> 1-inch LED countdown timer was ordered to help provide a clear, repeatable timing process for inspecting produced parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DC-10T-DN-BCD<\/a> allows operators to set a specific inspection period in minutes and seconds using rotary manual set switches mounted on the top of the enclosure. This Set n Forget configuration makes it possible to establish the required inspection time and repeatedly reset and run the timer through production cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The timer counts down from up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds and provides a highly visible 1-inch red LED display that can be viewed from approximately 25 feet. External controls can be connected for Start\/Pause, Reset to Set Value, or Reset and Start functions. The timer also accepts either momentary contact closure or 5\u201330 VDC\/PNP source pulse inputs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Toyota<\/a> application, the countdown timer was also configured with an end-of-period output to communicate with a programmable logic controller (PLC). When the inspection period reached 00:00, a two-second output signal provided the PLC with notification that the timed cycle had been completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DC-10T-DN-BCD<\/a> features a durable 14-gauge aluminum enclosure with a fingerprint-resistant black powder-coated finish. Its compact 6-3\/4-inch wide by 3-3\/4-inch tall by 2-inch deep design makes it well suited for manufacturing workstations where a dedicated inspection timer needs to remain visible without taking up significant space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With repeatable countdown operation, external control inputs, and PLC integration, the DC-10T-DN-BCD<\/a> provides manufacturers with a practical timing solution for parts inspection, production processes, and other applications requiring consistent cycle timing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
