I am wanting to integrate a PLC into an air blow off system. Every time it sees a part via photo eye, I want it to tap into the compressor line. Every time there is nothing in front of the photo eye I want the air flow to stop.
The instructions I want the system to follow are a photoeye intermittent system. I am attempting to avoid some energy costs in a continuos flow manufacturing operation.
What pieces of the PLC will I need specifically?
I was thinking a photoelectric eye, a solenoid, allen bradley plc, and inputs and outputs. I don't know how to set it up. I don't know what to look for or where to look in buying these parts.
I came here today to learn some PLC basic vernacular also. So I need from you guys a little help from the people who've been around the block some. I am excited to learn about this. In the meantime I will study.
