Hi, I'm obviously pretty new to programing and automation. i was looking to get some helpful hints and maybe some steps in terms I could interpret.
My current set up as followed, I have clean filtered liquid product being deposited into 5 tanks. I had a problem with one of my solenoid valves at tank 3 and didn't realize that tank wasn't feeling up. I don't want to drill into the tanks to put any level instruments in it. I have a paddle flow sensor and wanted to put a tee in the beginning of the process line before it branches out to monitor the flow. I want to be able to have an adjustable low flow alarm set point on the HMI.
I don't need to log any data, I just want a live flow figure as I run every process and have an alarm come on if the flow drops to a certain figure for X amount of seconds... and possibly turn off the process if the alarm is activated. a Tag for the HMI?
Micrologix 1100 Bul. 1763 ser. A
Signet 2536 Rotor-X Flow Sensor (going on a 1/2" PVC pipe, K-Factor = 1027.1) http://www.signetins...df/2536spec.pdf http://www.signetins...pdf/2536eng.pdf
Signet 9900 Transmitter (if i even need it) www.signetinstrumentation.com/pdf/English_Manual.pdf
I'm willing to compensate anyone for some in depth advice if anyone is willing to take the time via email or PM.
Thanks in advance.
