Hello all,
For my final theoretical project for my college course, I am required to build something which requires a PLC or a microcontroller.
I have decided to build a portable PLC controlled rotiserrie machine.
I haven't determined all the parts that I need for this project yet, but was wondering if someone can help me out figure out if its possible
I belive that the Unitronics M91 PLC wll be suitable for this project. I will have a portable 12VDC supply (Car Booster Pack) to power the PLC.
I require the PLC to:
- Set/ Operate a (stepper or geard) motor to spin the spit in a clockwise and counterclock wise direction.
- Set/ Operate a (stepper or geard) motor to raise and lower the spit.
- Measure and display 2 anolog temperature sensor readings
- Measure and display the speed from a tachogenerator
- Contain programable "set time" operations
- Contain display with time of day and other varibles.
Can this be done? What limitations will I encounter?
I would really appreicate some help
Thank you
