I really need to make this design work, but I'm hitting roadblock after roadblock on my design. My need is this: Hook up a dirty sankey keg to a wash-coupler, fill a reservoir of cleaner, and a seperate reservoir of sanitizer, and then just hit the GO button. 10-15 minutes later I want the keg ready to fill.
This will involve a 1/8hp march pump, several (something like 10 with my current design) solenoid valves, a hot water source, a breathable draining reservoir, and a very smart process controller that will let me sequence lots of steps. This is where I need some help at this point. I'm not that familiar with programming and different models of process controllers. I've used the BCS for many things over the past year, but I don't think it is suited for this purpose. I need something a little more open-ended.
Any suggestions on a highly customizable process controller that will provide enough outputs? I would need to control lots of valves, the pump, and receive input from 4 or 5 float switches. Also a timer would be necessary.
Thank you for any suggestions or help in advance.
