R Rudy Active member Jun 21, 2021 #2 You could use a Programmable Logic Relay....and program it to do what you need. I used a Moeller Easy Relay. I have 3 self service bays. When any of the bays selects Foam Brush, an air solenoid opens on my foam brush pump. Likewise for Tire Cleaner, and PreSoak soap. I used 9 inputs to control 3 pumps. Programming was relatively easy. I didn't even need the cable/computer to do it. I just used the LCD screen and pushbuttons on the PLC.

OurTown Well-known member Jun 21, 2021 #3 I like Rudy's idea but for a really cheap and simple alternative is just a bank of relays. Of course they would not have a delay like the MX8 has.
