Hello. I'm looking at the triplex, but I'm not sure it would work for my application. Macromatic ATP120A1R 120V Triplexor Alternating Relay

I'm building a 3 bin vacuum loading system. Each bin has a dry contact level switch. The triplex should turn on the bin that is calling for material. It has to alternate 1,2,3 and preferably skip bins which are full. Never can two outputs be on at the same time. When all bins are full, it should stop. Will this work for me?

The Macromatic ATP120A1R alternating relay is not recommended for this type of application. The Triplexor relay is designed to turn on 1, 2, or 3 pumps at a time based on the three inputs. The application described would be a custom application that is different than a general purpose Triplexor would be able to accommodate. It is recommended that a small PLC be used and programmed for your application.
