Guys,
I have a project coming up and was wondering if anyone has run across this before? What I want to do is to have a vacuum tank that will hold up to 120 inches of water column, now this in itself is no problem, what I want to do is use a AB PLC and touch screen to control the vacuum level. First I would like to be able to start the vacuum blower from the touch panel, and be able to have a coarse level adjustment via up and down arrows. Also have a input for direct level setting, such as a 4 digit level indicator that will take direct input numbers. And finally have the vacuum setup with a changeable default setting so that when the vacuum is started it will go to a certain level without starting at zero every time. I would appreciate any help you guys can offer.
and I am thinking of a BOM consisting of:
Small AB PLC
Analog Input Card
Digital Output Card
Small VFD
AB touch Screen
And A vacuum Transducer.
Besides the basics I think this is all the hardware that I need.
Thanks,
Eli
