Hi All

I have a wood pellet feed system and need to automate it.
When there is a demand, an auger motor is started, and a vacuum motor. A level sensor is in a tank that will stop the motors if the tanks fills up. What I want is: When there is demand the motors start and they work together, when the level sensor is acuated the auger motor stops but not the vacuum motor this runs for 20 seconds before stopping.
I am sure this is an easy thing but I'm new to this so any help would be great. if the parts can be got from Maplin or some other online retailer so much the better.
regards

Silas :?

You didn't specify what type of level sensor that you are using, but it sounds like you need an electrical engineer involved here.
