I've got an unusual situation with a customer that has one of these things. There is no three phase electric at the wash, so a Roto Phase generator is supplying that. The installers wired the phase generator to run 24/7. This seems odd. Their logic, if you can call it that, is the automatic needs the 3 phase all the time. I'm assuming because they use a transformer ran off it for the control power to the plc. There has to be a simple way to run the control power seperately. Any ideas? A friend who works on these said to be very careful because this particular plc costs $20,000. Think about that for a minute. Especially if you are thinking of buying one. I called the factory, but bless their heart, Mark 7 will not talk to you without a letter from the pope and a secret handshake.
