Webbased PLC Nano-10 Super PLC

Hi Cal;

I have two different strategies for you to look at for the Programmed Logic
Controller (PLC)
This one is a little more sophisticated. You can access it via the internet
with a web based interface or it can be hard wired like a traditional PLC.
This unit will take a little more skill to set up and program. (If you go
this route you need to contact the dealer and order the correct power
supply) (They probably have a prewired kit with box ,relays, etc..) This
unit also has the controller built in for a stepper motor. For our
application we don't need a stepper motor, just a 12 volt motor, relay and a
couple magnetic sensors.

Here is the PLC that we had originally looked at and. It's simple to program
and inexpensive;
http://www.tri-plc.com/e10intro.htm $69+ includes 4 1amp relays (If you go
this route you need to contact the dealer and order the correct power
supply)

Here is the unit prewired with the relays, cabinet and power supply The
TP-6/4 for $379 would do the trick for us.

Calvin,

The RIO-47200 will work for your first application.

If the motors have a digital input for on/off then you can drive that directly with the RIO. If not then you will need relays that will switch the 120VAC, the RIO will drive the relays. The outputs have a maximum current of 0.5A, so make sure the coil side of the relay has a minimum resistance of 50 Ohms if you use 24V (the outputs can be powered with 12-24VDC).
As long as you are just turning on only a few outputs (or one in your case) at a time then you can use the PS-2.50-24.

Will you have a PC available for this system, or will this system be connected to a DHCP network?

The second project will require a motion controller. Probably a good place to start looking is the DMC-21x3 series controller and drives.

Stepper motors should be adequate for your application here.
