Technical support / Need advice on Nano-10
« on: May 02, 2010, 11:28:52 AM »
I apologize about the general nature of my question, but I am looking to fill a requirement for a prototype product and expert advice would be greatly appreciated to know whether or not I am barking up the wrong tree.
I need a PLC or other PC compatible/programmable controller, and the Nano-10 seemed to fit the bill. I need the device to control an inline duct blower (115v, 257w AC). I realize I will need a separate unit or driver. The PLC would have to take into account the fan's rpm, and the inputs of 2 other sensors (with a signal range of .01-6v each)
The PLC would need to be programmable to take the 2 input voltages plus fan rpm and vary the output to control fan speed based on that data, in a linear fashion. Provisions must be made to ease fan into full rpm, or full acceleration or deceleration, depending on certain variables.
I absolutely will be hiring a local programmer to work with the software. If you need a round peg to fit a square hole I'm of use, in the digital arena I'm a little lost. I appreciate the help!
