PLR580 I/O Extenders save thousands of dollars

Problem: A client needed to get three 4-20 ma signals and four digital inputs from a tank farm to their control room PLC, in order to read the level of the tanks. They also needed to send three analog and four digital output signals back to the tank farm to control tank levels. The distance from the control room to the pumping station was 4000 feet. To further complicate matters, 10 years earlier the customer had added a new facility with a parking lot that was constructed between the tank farm and the control room. Because they did not want to mix the analog and 120 volt signals in one conduit, they were considering trenching through the concrete parking lot to run cable tray or two underground conduits to the tank farm. Trenching would cost an estimate of between $13,000 and $15,000 for material and labor. Click here for the solution.
