I need to research some equipment and components for a new project. The customer needs the operator to have portable wireless control over several portions of the operation. Mostly involving conveyors and feeders etc.
I know this is done and there are things available for this, But I have never worked on or designed anything like this.
Are there off the shelf wireless controllers that can be integrated into the plants control system, Network , , or into the PAC and PLC system ? Or ??
I just need some direction as to how people do this type of wireless control, the end use control will be various motors or motion products etc. That will be under PLC / PAC supervision. The system will of course be networked to the plants main control architecture.
I have seen these portable controllers used in rail yards, And in plant mobility systems etc. But I have no clue where to begin researching this to develop a quote....
