Hello all,
I am currently designing the gear shifter system for the car. I was intending on using a plc to control the solenoid valve (electro pneumatic system) and a few other features. My problem is that i cannot find a PLC that operates from 12 volts. Most of the PLC's operate from 24 volts dc. It is probably possible to step up the supply voltage but was wondering if anyone else has found a 12 volt PLC.
Thanks for any help and advice,
(PS I am a mechanical engineer so I am a bit http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_confused.gif )
