Hello all,
I have a project to upgrade an injection molding machine that someone else has started and went bad. (Mainly the controls for the valves). Press has one servo valve and a few proportional valves.
He has replaced the PLC with an Omron CJ2M, heaters on DeviceNET temperature controllers but the valves are being driven from these circuit boards that take 0-10VDC in and give 0-3 Amps out. Now I am not trying to reinvent the wheel and know this will probably never work for the different modes of control required.
I am thinking about using Bosch Rexroth VT-HACD-DPC and VT-HACD-DPQ cards but found out from the supplier that these cards are not going to be supported in 3 years time. My other option is to use a Delta controller but then I need to do all the programming.
The delta 151 would have no issues with this job just needs programming, the Bosch cards look like they are ready to go but are not going to be supported and have long lead time.
Just looking for possible other ideas or options for this job.
