I'm looking at taking some side work and I have very little idea what it's about at this point. I have a meeting later today to discuss it but I would like to be able to speak intelligently about it. I was told only very basic info from a non-technical type. He said it involved PLC programming for a particle counter. I thought he was talking about some kind of device for the Nuclear industry. I've done some preliminary research and realized he's probably talking about a device that measures contaminants in hydraulic fluid or in clean room air. I've found that some companies are making 4-20mA remote particle counters for this purpose, and that's probably where the PLC comes in.
So does anybody know how these devices are normally used? I'm picturing a network of detectors in various areas of a clean room facility connected to central server that stores logs of data and sends email alerts upon high levels of contamination. Am I barking up the right tree?
