Hi All,
I have the following requirement:
For simplicity lets take a Pair of motors, each motor has control box attached to it, with forward/reverse push button and a ALL/Single selector switch.
When Selector in Single position For/Rev will control only that motor where operator is standing and pressing the buttons.
When the Selector is in ALL position, both motors will go forward if For button is pressed and so on,
Then if our client want to purchase 2, 4 , 6 or 8 motors, they have to connect the communictaion cable to one of the boxes and daisy chain them, Now All selector will move ALL the motors together.
The communication must share information about encoders on each motor with the other control boxes , to keep the parameters like speed sincronized.
Each box must contain some type of smart/programmable control board similar to PLC in functionality, but it should look like a board, must be aible to form a network of similar boards and
share information between them.
I have a feeling that it is a common situation, but don't know where to start.
I've seen models from competitors that do just what i described.
And price should be very low.
Thanks
