PLC Used in home
I'm in the process of building a Siemens S7-224 PLC system for my home in the mountains. It includes an analog module, a TP070 HMI, and internet module. I know what I want the initial program to do but am a slow learner; especially since I'm trying to teach myself through the manuals and this forum. Thanks to you folks, I'm getting there. I intend to monitor doors, temperature in the living space, temperature and humidity in the crawl space, and electric service voltage. The only items that I don't have as yet are the door magnetic reed switches or something, and a small on-line UPS to operate the PLC when (not if) the power goes off. I've used Phoenix Contact for 24vdc power supply and terminals of various types. I used an Agastat voltage monitor (240v) to monitor both phases of the electric service.
If I run up against a wall regarding my programming, I would like to submit my ladder diagram for you folks to look at. Thanks. Regards.
