Re: Automated Valves - Are They Worth It?

I'm trailing auto valves using an Arduino, and hall sensors to monitor fluid flow, I'm finding there not perfect, the swing on the valves is a bit too much (ie too open then too closed), theres an over run too, but this can be taken care off in the software. These can work very well if you can get t...

It turns out that a process spawned via ladder logic runs as long as the coil is hot (in this case as long as the switch is closed). That means you can't use a one-shot din or kill the process from the ui if you star...

Re: Help setting up Dins please

" If you are triggering this from an Arduino, you need to use a 5V input to the DIN. You will also need the grounds of the BCS and the Arduino power supply tied together." an you please clarify this Jon, is this on the 5V side or the 240V side ? I didnt think of doin this Thanks Pesh
