Electrical Control Panel (1 Viewer)

[tedu]

I'm starting to work on the electrical for the 270.
I want to build something like this but potentially use DIN modules.
Anyone have any experience with using them ?

WoW that is an impressive control panel for a tank. Is that yours or a picture of what you are trying to setup?

Check with Marc from melevsreef.com; he is one of those DIY'ers that always seems to to have great answers to making things work.

Good Luck! Looking great so far.

Iv always wanted to do something like that but something about 20 dollar switches and the other high dollar componets put me off

That's an example I found, not mine. Still looking for ideas.

I love that box, that looks great. Definitely some expertise went into that design.

This is what I did in my tank room last year:

Tedu i used to do automation work for an electrical company and did alot of plc cabinet work using relay's timers and what nots. I currently am designing a plc controlled ayatem to use on my 80gal. I could give you a hand i even has some din rail and modules here at my house grop me a pm

i have actually been working with those myself, they look more complicated than they actually are.

Which, PLCs or DIN mount terminal strips ?

Dumb?

I don't know much about the subject, And may be stupid ?. But is there a electrical unit/ transformer that could plug into a 110 outlet and convert more power to a storage rack, just for our reefing equipment. I know the easy way would be just to put a electric breaker box with bigger fuse. But kind of hard to do when living in a high price apartment home.

both but prefer din mounted easier to come by at work. those are both really not that hard to work with though
