I bought these illuminated push button switches from Digikey that I need a few suggestions on which way to go to make them act like a simple on off switch. Press once and its on, press again and its off. I have 2 of these buttons that are replacing standard toggle switches, one provides a ground to a laser's power supply (which turns the laser on) and the other sends a ground signal to an OMRON Sysmac Automation Platform CMP2AH-60CDR-A which enables the Back/Forth movement (on this large Bridge Saw I am working on). It doesn't physically move the bridge back and forth, its more like a safety. Until this OMRON Sysmac sees a constant ground signal on this specific terminal, the bridge can't move back or forward even when the button to do so is pressed. Some specs
With the laser's supply drawing .25A at 215v and a ground signal for the OMRON drawing ? Is there an simple non complicated way to do this? Ive read about using a 555ic, transistors, flipflops and more, but I would like to keep this a small and simple as possible. In my searches I found this which I think maybe what would work for me, but I don't know. That's why I am asking for help. Which chip do I go with? Would I need a relay which is controlled by one of these IC's suggested? How do I then power the led in the button?
I know some will say "just go buy a latching push button switch and be done with it." Thing is I am going for the symbol that lights up via an internal led which needs 3.5v or so to illuminate.
I first thought of going with what I knew and using just plane ole relays as shown here but that isn't really the way I want to go.
Inside the panel where these are mounted I have a 24vdc that I will use to supply power. Use a LM713 or something to drop it to whatever is needed. Surface mount or though hole is fine. Any suggestion's, idea's are welcome.
