I'm liking that Powerflex 525 rig, how long have those been out now? Ahhhh to sit in a chair and run my pumps is all I need for my ever expanding waistline........do they have an iPhone app for that thing? How much is their pressure sensor for this system? Thats the one thing I really hate about Yaskawa is the pressure sensor is $400 and thats just ridiculous
The PF525 came out earlier this year, maybe around June. The PF523 hit the streets this month. Less features and the price difference isn't worth trying to save a few buck , at least for me. The EtherNet/IP on the 525 is well worth having, plus the additional I/O and much advanced features. The PF527 is due out sometime next spring. Don't know much about them, so have to wait and see what it's all about.
I doubt you will ever see an app for this. It's not a general consumer grade product. If you want an app, buy something from China
I can turn on my TV and have full control of everything, but you need a fancy gizmo or two to do this.
This is way too complex to explain on a forum.

Pressure Sensors!!
Are they switches or transducers?
As far as I know, Yaskawa is not in the transducer market, but they have switches. Is it a Yaskawa rep that's soaking ya? They tend to have very small reps, which jacks the price up quite a bit.
A-B might be about 250.00 for an analog transducer, without a display. Ashcroft, pretty close. IFM Efector (list price) about 199.00 (really good stuff). I might try a ProSense from Automation Direct. They are ceramic element. 125 bucks, then you need an M12 cable. Made in Germany and have a 3 year warranty. Probably will try one, but I have Ashcroft and IFM's, which are quite reliable.
