Hello,
I've been looking at product selections of lightning detectors and they all seem to be prebuilt packages that have fancy displays and HMi that are used to interface the user interface that they have prebuilt. I am trying to find a single sensor that can detect lightning within X miles from the sensor. I am needing it to be something that I can take into my PLC (SCADAPACK), so RS485/232, 0-20mA, 0-5V, Modbus, are all on the table. I'm needing to do some logic on my PLC side when there is lightning in the area and I am having trouble finding any sensor that is even close to the specs that I am needing.
Has anyone ever used or know of any sensors that can detect lightning in a given radius of the sensor that I could take into a PLC?
