A 90-30 is a GE Fanuc PLC not AB, a comparable AB would be a SLC 500. If it is in fact a SLC 500 I have a couple cards....I think they might be 16pt output cards I can't remember but if you are interested I can take a look, they are brand new in the box. If it was a GE Fanuc what CPU was it...331, 341 etc...[/QUOTE]
You are correct. I have an SLC 500, but I also have the powersupply and rack for the 90-30. I get so excited about this stuff, I forget to add the details. Sorry. S

Panel wiring and checkout is finished, serial to ethernet communications interface working, boiler ignition and flame safety along with gas flow control to burner working. Next up is connecting water tank and testing level transmitter, fill valve, pump, water flow control for boiler, and glycol coolant valve. Here is a picture of the system schematic and panel, http:///picasaweb.google.com/kevin.ladue/Phase2Brewery/photo#5030791467733206146 here is a picture of the control hardware on the aluminum panels http://picasaweb.google.com/kevin.ladue/Phase2BrewingPanel/photo#5144799706307697042
OK, So that is deffinitivly brew porn. Well done. S.:tank:
 
Ignition and burner fuel flow systems testing completed, water pumping and boiler operation for strike, sparge, and steam production testing is next. Last step is to start working on the operating software as the Opto G1 hardware is strictly I/O without built in control functions as found in other more modern PLC systems. New brewshop was built and needs plumbing, wiring, exhaust hood, and exhaust fan installed before moving brewing hardware from garage to permanent installation.
