First off, this forum has been great to me over the years and everyone has been beyond helpful. After working all summer as an assistant brewer at the new brewery in town (sometimes being a teacher works out for me), I haven't been able to resist the urge to increase my capacity and process. Thanks to the advice here, I am getting ready to begin building 30A 3 vessel rig controlled by Brucontrol. I've already sourced the majority of my components and I am waiting for them all to trickle in. Black Friday was good to me!
As I wait, I have spent some time working on adapting Brundog's schematic to my current goals, which are:
1) Have a system that can be as automated as I would like it eventually, but start out as a basic PID control panel, but on a computer screen.
2) My wiring (should) allow the e-stop to kill the pumps and elements, but allow the 12V supply keep the Brucontrol software up and running.
3) The relay board should prevent both elements from firing at the same time rather than relying on software alone.
I'm including my diagram in the hopes that if I have a major misunderstanding, that other eyes could catch it! Thanks in advance if you do!
