Hi,
I would like to use a logic controller to use with two proximity sensors and a electric air switch.
My plan is the metal strip will feed , reach the sensor and cut material off .
If the material does not reach the sensor a a cam will activate the other proximity sensor and send a signal to the air switch which will operate the air clutch and knock the machine off.
1. Which Mitsubishi controller would you recommend ?
This is the one I am considering
Alpha 2 logic module , 100 to 240 v ac, 6 x input , 4 x output with display.

2. Which power supply should I match up with this ?
As it is 230 v can I wire direct to uk mains ?
Or do I need a transformer ?
3. Which programming software should I use with this ?
Thank you for any suggestion or help, I am new to PLC controllers, and just need a little assistance to get going, and to make sure I do not order the wrong parts.
I have lots of ideas of things I would like to make and control using them and I am keen to learn.
