Hi everyone,

Does anyone have suggestions what would be a good option
for reverse pulse control on my dust collectors?

I have 3 separate dust collectors that use (two each) air solenoid valves
to give the filters an alternating 100 millisecond (1/10 second) pulse to remove the dust from the filters. I have solid state switch relays (triac) to pulse the 120 volt AC solenoid valves.

I already have this setup on my LinuxCNC Plasma cutter and have it working with ClassicLadder in LinuxCNC. It seems somewhat overkill to use a full LinuxCNC setup to control these other three dust collectors.

Would a micro-controller like Arduino be a better solution?
I have no experience with Arduino.

What about a PLC?

Any input, or suggestions?

Thanks,
Earl
