Thanks guys. Yes, it was interesting just being there and staying on the mountain.Pete the site manager was a great host, we had fun.
It was work, but the drive up and back (6hrs each way) was fun (6L V8) and pokeing around the scopes was interesting. Rob Mcnaught droped in for a chat too.
Im not looking to make this a commercial product, too much work and probably a bit expensive for the amature market.
I didnt actually install the automation, that was done by an electrician (a good one too, very professional). I just designed, programed and commissioned it.
Well spotted Brett ;-). I didnt know there was a brake on the motor untill a few days before I got there, so yes, I programed a multifunction output on the VFD for brake control with a relay, the brake is yet to be wired to it.
