Hello,
I'm a current technology student doing a project for my school. Because of the thousands of sources out there, I just wondered if anyone here can help me since people here are from industry.
My objective is to implement a PLC to a hypothetical boiler.
The PLC I've chosen is Allen Bradley and the the program is RSLogix.
I just have some general questions for my research.
1. Can all boilers be implemented with PLC?
2. How does a PLC control a boiler? What is the process? I have worked with PLC before, but I just can't wrap my head around it. Do boilers have input and output terminals like a motor connected to a plc?
3. Do all boilers work the same? I need to select a boiler and I've researched that there are different pressures they operate on. Will these affect the PLC implementation? I've narrowed down a manufacturer though, Hurst.
If possible, you may also include your name and occupation so I may use you as a reference. (Citation is a big thing for me)
Thank you
