Would Trilogic PLCs be suitable for use in hydraulic motion control systems with LVDT feedback.
What I would like to do is retrofit an existing wood lathe to feed the product into the knifes at variable rates depending on the distance from the knifes.
Rapid feed at the start of the cut, reduced feed 60% into the cut, and slow speed for the best finish at the end of the cut.
I have a firm grasp of the hydraulics propotional valves needed, but I am unsure if the plc will fit the application.
I would like to write a program with a motion profile to fit the application that I can monitor and change via the internet. Has anyone accomplished anything like this using your product.
