electric motor actuation - Raspberry Pi Forums


hi, working on school project , need build automated bender. function select preset, motor started. inductive proximity sensor counts revolutions of output shaft , when pre set revolution count reached electric motor turned off. motor 1hp single phase driving 60:1 gearbox.
possible create electronic circuit using raspberry pi system used in bender?

had in mind inductive proximity sensor connected raspberry pi. raspberry pi has 240v contactor/relay output connected electric motor. when raspberry pi records target amount of revolutions, sends low voltage signal contactor/relay turns off motor. can achieved raspberry pi?

it sounds achievable.

pi can drive (suitable) relays via gpios , can read digital sensors. if "inductive proximity sensor" analogue you'd need use analogue digital converter signal pi.

sounds bit safety related. damage done if pi fails?
