Do you know what Doppelmayr lifts use? I knew that CTEC had a lot of A-B stuff but I am not sure about POMA and Doppelmayr. What did Riblet use too? What about Garaventa? Any big ones I missed?

What is your point of view on favorite control manufacturers? Which are the most durable?
What other (if any) manufacturers are there?

Cooper Spur Ski Area in Oregon has the very last Riblet ever built... It has an Automation Direct.com PLC and operator interfaces.

I'm not sure how many they built in this way, but I do know their logic is a bit choppy, and they certainly didn't use the PLC to its fullest potential. If we ever get the time, there's a lot we could do to improve the program using the hardware they put in. We've become big fans of Automation Direct.com; their stuff works well and it's very inexpensive compared to A-B. We've used it in our new snowmaking systems and some wells.

Riblet used 22mm IDEC control switches. The problem with PLC's is knowing when to stop programming :)

Ray's Rule for Precision - Measure with a micrometer, mark with chalk, cut with an axe.

I'd forgotten about those- at Baker we bought a lot of A-B because Zop liked their product, and perhaps the newer Riblets had already been renovated by the time I got there. I do remember lots of yellow IDEC relays though.
