Very good ideas. I am just beginning to learn the wide world of analog and digital inputs for plc's. There are some out there on the market that come with the software (Siemans) but I only use Allen Bradley at work and software is expensive. The Siemans plc's can be purchased for as low as $250. You just have to have your control power planned out and probley want to make sure you buy the expandable model for increased analog capability. This will allow specific readings as temp, DO, ph, conductivity, level....oh CRUD, I am NOT going to get any work done next week because I am going to be researching instrumentation probes for this now!
Glad to see another control guy here
I was getting lonely. Maybe we can talk shop! (no one will have a clue)
