Hello every one
I graduated from an automation education last year. At monday I am starting a new job at an automation consultant firm. But I want to do automation at my spear time as well.
Do you have any tips for which brands of PLC, HMI, fieldbuses, sensors and output devices and so on that are appropriate for a spear time project?
The idea is to begin small, like with a PLC and HMI, and than build on that. That could for instance be done by connecting different PLCs and/or HMIs with a fieldbus. Perhaps it could also involve SQL data bases as well.
I think I will put a purchase ceiling at 10 000 SEK which is approximately $1 400 and £1 000.
It would help a lot if there are available tutorials and/or manuals for the devices I would be working with.
