Hi all!
I have an application where we have a industrial trailer (ie: connected to a commercial truck / cab). The trailer will have some instrumentation (temp, pressure) and some solenoids. I've been asked to explore PLC and HMI options.
The system would only be powered up (from an external power source) while parked, but I am concerned about the components while in transit - particularly the PLC and HMI, but also the wiring and cabling. There is also a need to communicate externally with another PLC from another system.
I'm used to fixed asset control systems. Would prefer Siemens but concerned about the application in this case. I noticed Siemens does have a product line designed for Rail applications.
Does anyone have some recommendations?
Thanks
