Hello
I have a project coming up with 3 CNC machines. We are adding Keyence sensors to detect misset parts. Each machine will have 8 sensors, however I only have 2 Inputs available per machine. I have a few options that Im looking at.
1. Daisy chain them thru relays.
2. Small brick PLC.
3. Smart relay.
Im wanting to use a plc, however we MUST (NOT MY CHOICE) use mitsubishi so that throws out a couple of the cheaper models.
(did I mention they want this done for ZERO BUDGET)
I really hate going with the relays so my next option was a
smart/programmable relay. I havent used these before and just looking for a few recommendations.
thanks,
Bob
