Hi,
We have been using individual Johnson Controls A419 controllers for our fermentation temperature control. I stumbled across the BCS-462 from http://www.embeddedcontrolconcepts.com today which seems to have all the functionality we would be looking for (web based, droid accessible, fully configurable, and low priced). The only limitation seems to be the 8 inputs...
Has anyone else had any experience with the BCS-462 or 460? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. It doesn't seem to be incredibly scalable...but the price seems to work out about the same as buying individual A419s.
Also on a related note, has anyone had success using motorized ball valves similar to this:
I know the close/open time is a little slower (~3s) compared to diapham solenoids valves, but it seems the risk of them being stuck open is lower.
Thanks,
Aaron
