  1. Choosing the right OMRON PLC - Vacuum System

    Thanks for the quick responses guys, really appreciate it. We were looking at the CP1H... the vac pumps are not inverter driven (not worthwhile in terms of payback) the vac feedback, as above, would be an analog signal. The drives and feedback would be next to each other. That work on the cooling tower does sound similiar and quite interesting - have you any documentation? Regards
  2. Choosing the right OMRON PLC - Vacuum System

    Hi All, I'm hoping someone can help me. We're currently in the very early stages of re-designing how our vacuum system works. Currently we have 6 vacuum pumps supplying around 8 different packaging machines which we currently have to turn on and off manually depending on the demand on the machines. The challenge is to design and implement a part or fully automated system to control the current vacuum pumps - The key requirements are Supply must equal demand for the vacuum pumps - so they are only used when neededAutomatic switch-off when not in useCycling the use of the vacuum pumps so as not to overuse oneAbility to take a pump out of the loop for service/breakdownsManual override/shut-offScope for expansionUser-friendly interface (possibly touch-screen/wireless)I am a complete novice when it comes to OMRON PLC work and would like some guidance on possibly similar projects or at least pointing in the right direction with which PLC to go for. Thanks for your time Jack
