Hey everyone, it has been a little while i have had an issue.
I am having to add an outside heating source to cure paint on the slugs of brick. At the moment the heater is just manually cut on and off with the buttons on the heater. Now they are wanting the heater to run when the extruder clutch is engaged and cut off when it stops. When the extruder clutch is engaged slugs of brick are pushed out of the die onto a line headed to the setting table. When the brick line stops and if the heater continues to run it will dry the brick out way too much before it moves on down the line to be cut and stacked.
Here is a picture of the schematic of the heater. The on button is just a NO button and the off button(NC) acts as the seal in for the ON button once it is pushed in to start the heater.
Basically when the output for the extruder clutch to engage comes on I want the heater to start. And when the clutch disengages for it to cut off.
The issue I am having is the wiring/plc connection.
I am not sure if I will have to possibly add a relay and or rungs to the plc.
I hope I made this somewhat understable.
