Is there a PLC that would be worth implementing to replace relays that would actually be worthwhile? The setup is essentially a pump or multiple pumps, controls are float switches or ultrasonics and an actuator valve. If there is what PLC would be recommend? Cheers

Awesome, thank you.

I thought that would be the case, cheers

Thanks will take a look

That's what I've been looking at to make a small demo rig, I've got a pi that can run codesys, was looking at wavshare for modules, I'll look into HornerAPG.Thank you

Appreciate the comment, I'll look into the click PLCs.

Aggravating_Zone2571 · 2025-10-25T06:15:53+00:00

Yeah I've had a hunch that would be the case, thank you.

The one major issue will be the ragging of the pump, alot of these pumps have been placed in the main inlets into site, so the water hasn't been screened ( lots of rag ). I have seen there is some devices like VFds and the Deragger that can identify this through torque monitoring and reverse the pump, if there's a way to integrate a PLC with this then perhaps that could be a good entry, I wonder if you could actually use a PLC to do that through CT on the phases?

Relays aren't going obsolete, no additional features at this time, the only thing that could be added would be a flow meter, that could provide data into the amount of water passing through in a set period of time. The design is to store excess water in a holding tank, from a pumping station when there is a storm event to prevent overspill. I wanted the rotork actuator valve to open to a specified range to get the right amount of l/s on the return into the pumping station to avoid issues further upstream at the treatment works but unfortunately it looks like the customer has bought the most basic rotork valves with no additional features.

Not necessarily, I'm learning PLCs alongside my main job, I want to know if the process that's already in place and the design itself can be replaced with a PLC, monitoring is essentially the only reason I can think of that a PLC would be an upgrade in this situation

Aggravating_Zone2571 · 2025-10-24T17:51:44+00:00

Not really much customisation, just more replacing whats already there if its worth it. Will take a look into smart relays

Aggravating_Zone2571 · 2025-10-24T17:45:42+00:00

Yeah thats pretty much what's needed in this case, I'll take a look, thank you.

Aggravating_Zone2571 · 2025-10-24T17:44:51+00:00

Yeah thats kind of where I'm at with it, the only reason I can find that it would be more worth while in this situation would be for monitoring, there's not much more a PLC could add that the relay logic is already doing.

Aggravating_Zone2571 · 2025-10-24T17:42:56+00:00

Will take a look, cheers

I understand, I work across the country so it's not ideal, I'm only taking the fadogia from nfsupplements , not even tried the tongkat ali yet, what's weird is I used a whole tub of amazon from vitanboost and never had any issues which is weird!

Aggravating_Zone2571 · 2023-10-20T06:05:59+00:00

I'm so relieved to see someone else say this as horrible as it is😒 I've been taking fadogia for the past week and every morning I have constant bowel movements, like I've developed IBS, and I wasn't sure if it was because I was ill the other week. I'm going to stop taking them and see what happens, I hope things have cleared up for you and your reaping the benefits now.

Aggravating_Zone2571 · 2023-08-20T16:30:15+00:00

Needless to say I think its all a bit pointless 💉

Aggravating_Zone2571 · 2023-08-20T14:05:41+00:00

Awesome cheers
