Ok, so I'm sure this has some errors in it. But I'm hoping I'm at least close to getting everything right here.
I've been working on setting up a a control panel with the brains of a Opentroller DX1. I've stolen some ideas from other builds that I've been looking at and have compiled them into this.
-This is a 1 tier, 3 tank HERMS system
-2 heating elements (HLT and Kettle) and want to be able to run both at the same time
-a mixture of 2 way and 3 way valves to control all the flow
-4 temp probes
-2 pumps, 2 extra 120VAC sockets for future expansion if needed
-a ton of switches and LEDs for on/off/auto controlling all the valves, heating elements, pumps
-9 Lights indicating the current stage of the brewing process
My questions are:
1) Does the wiring look right?
2) I have a few circuit breakers in there (what sizes should i use), but are there any other means of protection I should be putting into the control box?
3) I plan on having the SSR's, 3 level terminal block and circuit breakers mounted to DIN rails. With the SSR's on DIN rails, will heat be getting trapped inside the control panel?
4) I haven't been able to find much documentation on the RGBIO8 boards. How do these get wired? Do you just hook up the swtiches on one side of the board, and the LED's to the other side? And then DX1 knows which position the switch is in and then controls the lights according to the switch position?
Thanks,
Nate
Here is the faceplate for control panel. Not completely done with the details yet.
