If there is anyone that can answer a few questions about ladder logic for Click PLC, I would greatly appreciate some help. I've got everything wired up in the control panel and, I believe, most of the software written, but am having trouble with the inputs in the software running the program...

I am in the process of building a professional keg washer and would really like to automate it. It will consist of 10 solenoid valves and 2 pumps. The heating element will be controlled separately by a PID. I would like to use Click by KOYO and a CMore screen, however I am not familiar with the...

Hey yall, I am trying to install a motorized ball valve on my hlt to keep it full with a float level switch. The motorized ball valve I purchased, http://misolie.com/showshop.asp?id=450, has 5 wires and is rated for 110v ac. I am trying to get this to have the valve stay open normally and close...

Why does your mash schedule decrease in temp? It should start low and finish high. 140 to 158 over 2 hours will get you a great amount of fermentables. Or just 146 for 60 even will do it. Once you go up, you can't go back down.

celiacsurvivor, did you respond and then change your response? I got an email saying you think the sorgum is ok but the buckwheat is not? Now you think they both will work? I was under the impression that it is the hulled buckwheat that will sprout. I do appreciate any input. Nick

Will this work? http://www.pleasanthillgrain.com/buy_buckwheat_purchase_organic_buckwheat_bulk.aspx and http://www.pleasanthillgrain.com/buy_sorghum_order_sorgum_bulk_whole_grain_for_sorghum_flour.aspx? I am trying to do this all grain and this is for a small batch at a brewpub. Thanks for any...

Still works today after that one time disassembly. Must run some pbw or oxyclean or some caustic through it. Normally do chiller and heating element in bk at the same time. Works great!

Yes that is the switch I am using Thank you PJ.

The switch is from auber ins. I can provide a pic later.

I am using a basic 3 way switch. Where would I get 1 of those switches?

Is it possible to hook 1 pump up to 2 sides of a 3 way switch using 1 side as manual control, 1 side as off, and the 3rd side as an auto control having a float switch control the pump? Thank you

Quick update, I am using these float switches inline to control contactors/relays on the AC side to protect against dry firing of elements and also to control a relay for auto sparge for a pump. If a SSR fails, it will fail closed with electricity flowing. All switches need to be on the AC side...

I likewise did this for a while. On a keggle, I had the exposed wires out the back and the ground shoved into the little hole on the bottom of the keg. One slip and that kegs becomes charged with 240v. Not fun. Ive made quite a few of these boxes and they come out really well. and is fairly easy.

If you look here, this is where I saw it. I just made another one. These are great.

Reviving this thread, P-J, are you confident in that above diagram? I PMed you with some updated info. I would like to use this same setup but in a 208v setting with 6000w elements. Thank you. Anyone else have luck with this yet?
