I'm new to this site. Have been an industrial electrical tech most of my life. Plenty experience around PLC's, just not had a whole lot of experience programming.
I'm currently making an L.P. fired commercial size smoker that has a shower that cycles on, if chosen by maintained on/off switch, to run for a specific amount of time after heat cycle completes.
Although I've had no problem making the logic, I'm having trouble figuring out how to make it so the shower to where it can not be activated unless it first goes thru the heat cycle (one shot?). Basically, I want it to where it can be selected on at the start or during heat cycle but not afterwards.
Also, I've put an High Temp indicator light, buzzer, and momentary push button in to acknowledge the buzzer. I am wanting to make it dual purpose to also use for end of cycle. I've already made the logic for the High Temp and it works the way I want. Now I'm trying to figure out logic for End of Cycle. The distinction I would like is for it to pulse both the light and buzzer and, of course, use the momentary to reset.
Now I must warn y'all, I am using an old Mitsubishi FX series PLC (got it dirt cheap) with the GX developer software.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
