What is a programmable logic controller?According to the Crouzet website:
A logic controller is a programmable module. It can be used to control
and monitor a set of conditions according to the state of the sensors, the
passing of time and the program created using a software workshop.What can you replace with a programmable logic controller?Counters, timers, level control, relays and temperature controllers.
The
Crouzet Millenium 3 is the latest generation of micro-PLC's. The Millenium 3 is easy to program and offers communication capabilities.
The
Crouzet Millenium 3 Smart has a blue screen which improves the readability of the display. It also features 76 slots available allowing the use of more application specific functions.

Crouzet Millenium Application #1:Heat PumpsMake the most of natural energy - air, water - to heat or cool a hot water system or heating circuit.Using a
Millenium 3 logic controller and NTC and Pt100 accessories you can do the following:
The heat from the warm fluid is captured by a refrigerating liquid which is compressed to give it a pressure of 40 bar and a temperature of 140°.
In a heat exchanger, this refrigerating liquid then transfers its heat to water for a hot water system or a hot water tank.
Once this thermal exchange has taken place the fluid, which has lost both temperature and pressure, has its pressure further reduced by a solenoid valve which drastically reduces its temperature even more.
This fluid is then able to receive the heat from the hot source and the cycle is ready to begin again!

I was looking through our latest Crouzet catalog and came across a great section describing logic controllers.
Basically it gives a simple description of what a logic controller is. Marshall Wolf Automation carries the IDEC SmartRelays and Crouzet Millenium programmable logic relays.
'A logic controller is a programmable module which is used to control small automation systems or small installations.
The logic controller is a plural solution in a control system since it contains solutions that can replace a number of products; timers, counters, control relays, temperature controllers, impulse relays, etc.
The logic controller operates as the brain of applications. It is capable of retrieving information and triggering actions; it can be adapted to suit the needs of customer applications.'Actions that a Crouzet Millenium or IDEC Smart Relay logic controller can handle are controlling, measuring, managing and communicating.Marshall Wolf Automation is your authorized industrial automation distributor for the full line of both IDEC Smart Relays and Crouzet Millenium programmable logic relays.

I recently followed up with a customer that has repeatedly purchased our
IDEC SmartRelays, series FL1E.
His response was a perfect blog and he has allowed me to use it here (thanks Ed!).
We started using the IDEC FL1E relays for wash pen cycles for washing cows in a sprinkler pen. Now we are using them for timing flush valves for washing barn floors, timing heat pumps and water heaters for hot water systems, fill alarms for milk tanks, controlling manure separators, conveyors, and augers, split timing on pulsation systems, automating pipeline and milk tank wash systems, milk tank controls, and more.
We keep finding different uses for this smart relay. We now have about 15-20 different programs on file for this smart relay. Excellent product.
As you can see the
programmable logic relays (also called Smart Relays, PLR's and simple PLC's) have unlimited uses.
These units can be used for a number of functions including sensing, adjusting, converting, processing, actuating and communicating.

In the world of industrial automation control, voltages of
10-30 VDC are widely used and recog
nized.
Most machine builders implement this control scheme for
OEM applications. Even programmable logic controllers and smart relays utilize VDC input power. This is most common in mobile applications where AC voltage is not available.
In these instances, batteries or generators are used. Similarly, they are needed when a
brown or black-out occurs. This is prevalent when loss of power is not acceptable; even for a nano second.
Therefore, how do you ensure that backup power is immediately achieved? Simple...you purchase a
VDC Output power supply with built in UPS. Marshall Wolf Automation has your industrial VDC output power supply requirements covered! We offer a full line of
5 to 48 VDC output power supplies and are an authorized industrial automation distributor for all the products we sell!
Don't be left in the dark any longer, implement our
