Zelio Programming 
​Chris Odlum Electrical Te Awamutu

Zelio Fully Customised Programming & Automation for your project in Te Awamutu & Cambridge

Programming Services

If your unsure if this is an option  for you, give us a call and discuss your project and what you need. These Smart relays are very versatile and custom programs can be designed for almost any small automation project. We have designed programs and set up systems for all kinds of projects including effluent systems, backing gates, water pumps, air conditioning systems, conveyor systems, and much much more. 

Why use a Smart Relay? 
Basically if you have a few things that need to happen in a set sequence, maybe you need a few things to run for a certain amount of time or on certain days of the week, or count how many times a switch is turned on, then the smart relay can be programmed to do all of this. If you ever what to change the setup we can simply edit the program on a laptop and then connect to the zelio and uploaded the changes normally without changing any of the wiring. Generally the cost of a couple electrical timers would be the cost of a basic Zelio relay and you could do 50 + Timers in Zelio program if needed. If you want to receive alerts to your phone we can set this up too.

A Real World example: A typical example of when you may consider a smart relay would be for an effluent system:
It is common to have  a mixer pump start up 10 minutes before the main effluent system pump starts so the pond is mixed before pumping out to the paddocks and then also having some automation so that the flow meter is ignored for 5 seconds for the pipe to pre-fill and then if after this time the pump is shutdown if the flow meter detects no flow. You may require an alert sent to your phone if the effluent system overloads so you can send someone down to repair fault. 

​There are many more options you could do with a smart relay.
First up what is a PLC?
PLC stands for programmable logic controller. A PLC simply is an electronic component that does nothing until it has been given a program to follow. Once programmed complex procedures and automation procedures can be accomplished by wiring the device into the control circuits. Chris has had many years’ experience writing programs for Zelio smart relays both for himself and for other electricians around the Waikato. PLCs come in a variety of shapes, brands and sizes. The cost vary according to requirements but having tried several kinds I have found that there’s not much you cannot do with a zelio Smart relay.

Some past projects requiring automation:

function block programA section of programming code
Some past projects Chris has done over the years include: Summer/Winter swimming pool dosing automatic change over; A program was designed to automate the process of pool dosing through the Summer and Winter. The program adjusted dosing automatically and the time the pumps ran for over these periods.
  • Automated a control sequence for a lock up facility: A console was made up with push buttons to operate solenoid valves on basins, toilets & showers to control the water & limit the amount of time for the showers.
  • A small section of the quarry programming
  • Quarry convenor system; 13 motors required an automated start up sequence with time delays on each conveyor motor with a separate shut down sequence. Interlocks were programmed to shut system down in the event of certain occurrences.
  • A Rotary cowshed control system failed leaving the farmer without a working platform. There was no further support for the old system the farmer had soa new complete control system was designed and installed.
  • Effluent systems: Chris has designed many variations of effluent systems with different requirements such as mixer run times and main effluent delays, text message high level alarms green water and farm solenoid valve automation.
