This project is not entirely Arduino, but I think it is a good example of how Arduino's can be incorporated into other systems. The initial design of this project was to automatically open and close the cat door and track the cat's activity also control when the cat can go in or out. The PLC was chosen for the main I/O and stepper motor controls because of its robustness and the Arduino was chosen for the cat counting activity process. The system features three main modes of operation which is 1 - manual up down, 2 - automatic up down, 3 - in only. The up and down operations can be controlled by a pendant station or RF remote and IP website controls. For the stepper motor and linear rail safety for the cat there is a proximity sensor in the cat door to detect anything in the door and stopping operations also the linkage from the linear rail to the door has been designed so if anything closes onto a cat or anything else in the door will not shut. There are four sensors on the door, two low sensors (inside/outside) to detect the cat and two high sensors (inside/outside) to detect humans and prevent the cat door from opening necessarily. The Arduino cat counting is basically for detection if the cat is currently outside or inside by reading even or odd numbers there will be more updates to this system in the future.
I have included all the documentation at the bottom for your reference.
