Hi all. I have been lurking for a little over a year and decided to share my latest project with you.
The design is based off of the 30Gal + system from TheElectricBrewery.com. I however have made a few notable changes:
I have also replaced the Amazon Control parts with motor contactors and cube relays. I believe this makes the TEB system a bit simpler to wire and provides more robust control.
I wanted to stick as close to the price of the part kit that is provided on TEB site. Due to this constraint I have chosen a Koyo Click PLC with a C-More Micro Graphic Touch Screen, which both include free software. I have also eliminated other components to cut down on cost:
I will keep a list of documents in this post, including links to PLC and HMI logic. I will post updates in the first 4-5 posts below this.
***NOTE***
This design is tenative, things are subject to change. I will try to keep my documents as up to date as possible. I am also very open to design suggestions!

- PLC and Touchscreen Interface
- 24VDC control
- Cleaner wiring through the use of terminal blocks and wireways

- Switches and LED indicators
- Voltmeter and Ammeter
- Transformers

9/19/13 - Changes to documents:
- BOM - Changed SSR to FOTEK, this is a $25 savings. Added diodes, resistors, relays, sockets, screws, and tap.
- Panel - Add 2 additional interposing relays, remove endblocks for spacing.
9/12/13 - Changes to documents:
- BOM - Remove 24VDC lamp, add fusing and terminal blocks, add motor starter surge supression, add wiring
- Bezel - Remove 24VDC lamp, Change 1/16DIN to 1/32DIN for new MLT PID Controller
- Panel - Add fusing blocks, add PLC Disconnect, remove DC Supply blocks
