Automated Aquarium Systems can easily provide our customers with Custom FlexPLC Control Systems. When you consider the factors of cost, performance, flexability, upgradability and quality then our FlexPLC will be your choice for a User Programmable System Controller. By using our FlexPLC hardware technology and our own easy to use FlexPLC Configuration Utility Software, AAS is able to supply our customers with a out-of-the-box solution to your control and automation needs. Below is an outline of one of our recently shipped FlexPLC systems. This system was ordered with the option of having AAS customize it for Water Level and Flow Sensors, Water Flood Alarming, a Remote Dialer/Pager, and 3 Dosing Pumps for automated chemical dosing and water level control.

• Monitor a Float Switch for Water Level control,
• Monitor a Flood Sensor for alarming,
• Monitor a Flow Switch for Flow/No-Flow detection and alarming,
• Control a Dual 120VAC Outlet for automated lighting control,
• Control 2 Dosing Pumps for automated and user defined periodic chemical dosing,
• Control a Refill Pump for automated water level top-off control,
• Alarm remotely to a Phone or Pager with Voice and Numeric Messages in case of any user defined alarm conditions.

CONTROLLER:

The system controller for the FlexPLC is a PIC Microcontroller PCB with 4 Input Channels and 4 Relay Outputs. The FlexPLC has a Real Time Clock and a RS485 serial port. Communications between the FlexPLC and your Windows PC is provided by our RS232 to RS485 Converter. The RS485 serial data bus is a 2-wire bus that can support up to 32 addressable FlexPLC's. This expansion capability provides for unlimited sensor monitoring and control. The RS485 bus can support cable lengths of up to 4,000 feet so distance between PC and multiple FlexPLC's is never a problem.

SOFTWARE:

The software for our FlexPLC Systems is implemented in Visual Basic. The FlexPLC Configuration Utility Software is a ready to run executable program that provides a simple 3-Step GUI interface to allow the user to easily configure and download custom control code directly into the FlexPLC. With the FlexPLC Configuration Utility anyone with absolutely no programming experience can create a custom stand alone control program that runs without a PC on the FlexPLC system. The FlexPLC can be used and customized for an endless amount of applications. Email Us for more information on your application needs.
