I am ready to start wiring my 462 to control fermentation heating and cooling. Right now I just have one fermentor running, but will eventually add a second. My fermentor is a sanke with copper wrapped around it to circulate glycol and a heat pad for when we are in the cold months. When I add the second fermentor I will need to add two solenoid valves to the glycol line and another heat pad. The electronics will all be contained in an electrical enclosure with panel mount 5-15 and cat 5 receptacles. The controller and router will be outside of this enclosure. When I start using this for brewing control I will use a second enclosure. I know this seems like overkill, but the brew rig is halfway across the room from the fermentors.
So I am looking for a sanity check on my wiring diagram. I am going to use Cat 5 cable to send the 5v signals into the electrical box from the BCS and the Temp Probes. In the enclosure I will use 24 awg wire to connect to the SSR's. I am using Din rails to mount everything and Din mount terminal blocks. There will be common ground blocks and blocks for line just to keep everything organized.
For the 120v, I have common neutral and common ground blocks. For Line I use the blocks to wire in an E-Stop, LED lights, and Fuses.
I know that I have an extra 120v neutral block and an extra 5v ground block. Also I have ferm heat and cool plug receptacles labeled backwards. The fuses I will use are 5a. I did all this in MS Paint so it is a pain to change.
Does this wiring make sense?
