Wirless PLC switching
Wirless PLC switching
(OP)
Hello all!
I have a question, that I am sure is simple to you guys.
My understanding of PLC's is only basic, so go easy on me lol.
The question is this, can I use my mobile phone, through a PLC, to switch on and off household appliiances, like heating, washing machine, and lights etc.
Telemecanique Zelio, with remote communication module seems to tick all the boxes.
How hard would this mobile remote system be to set up?
It would be really handy to have full control of my house from my mobile.
Any comments greatly appreciated.
Thanks

* CSD - Data transmission via a voice channel (just like a normal modem)
* SMS - Sending and receiving short text messages
* GPRS/EDGE - packet-switching data service, usually via an internet connection.
All of this will require skills that you may or may not be familiar with. We cannot assess your competence level for you.
RE: Wirless PLC switching
I really don't have much experience on PLC's, I just understand the ladder logic princple.
All I have done is some simple stuff on a omron based program called syswin.
Could you recommend any online courses or books ?
I have looked at "scantime" online tuition, but they seem to focus alot on the omron PLC.
Unfortunatley I would need the flexability of learning at home.
A PLC sales guy has told me that PLC's are really easy to program, apparently becasue of new click and drag software, but I guess he would say that.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.
