I'm doing my home automation control with AllenBradley (AB) controls.
I want to add all new furnace controls to the HVAC system(s). The ones on there are 1980's era. The current thermostat is a Rockwell design. It is not accurate, even after routine calibration.
It's a natural gas furnace but it also has cooling fans and a couple blowers with AC motors.. that probably could be servos or industrial drives.
Anyone got ideas that would work?
Easiest for me would be SLC500 (1746), Controllogix, MicroLogix 1500.
I want to have AB Panelview 1000+ or Panelview 400's.
I would do a FANUC 90-30 only if a suitable system couldn't be put together.
I have a friend that successfully integrated PLC HVAC into his home automation.. but his is an electric furnace.
