I'm starting a 40b mixed reef project and want to use a DIY controller. Id love to use a full blown PLC but want to stay on a budget. Starting simple but expandable to do whatever I want.
Staring with.
Inputs
High water level float
Low water level float
2 floats for automatic water changes
Moisture switch for leak detection
Pushbutton timer function shutdown of return pump
Pushbutton timer function shutdown of return pmp & power head
Ph probe. Would I need a seperate 4-20 transmitted and an analog input?
Temp. Rtd module?
Outputs
White lights
Blue lights
Moonlights
Fuge light
Return pump
Powerhead
Heater
skimmer
1 for each water change pump. (Out then in)
Id reall like to be able to create a sunrise/set effect, moonphase, and lightning flashes. Need help on this!!
What brand and model do you recommend?
We use Honeywell at work but I won't spend that much.
I've been checking out some programmable relays for less than $200 but probly won't do everything I want.
Thanks in advance
Mike
