tdog 0 #1 August 13, 2008 Anyone know anyone who could help me with an industrial automation computer. Simply put, I want to automate an electrical system with two types of sensor inputs. One sensor input would latch on (close the relay) on the output. The other sensor input would delatch the output relay, but keep it on for a preset time. The logic process is simple, two inputs, one output. I am sure there are systems meant for assembly lines and other robotics that are perfect for this. If you or anyone you know might be able to help, please send a message. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shropshire 0 #3 August 13, 2008 Are both of your inputs DIO or are they Analogue? If digital then you may not need a computer per se. some descret logic electronics could possibly do the job or maybe a PIC. (.)Y(.)

Analog (door sensors found on burgular alarm systems) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shropshire 0 #5 August 13, 2008 Door sensors (open/closed)? Then you could use Time delay relays. When the signal is present the relay energises, when the signal is off then the relay de-energises after a defined time period.... The 2nd signal can then be used to control the 1st signal (.)Y(.)
