@Garry Shortt would you be able to wire in the source from the plc to the potentiometer instead of using a battery, or did you avoid that because of consumed amperage at low impedance? In that case, would it be fine to wire another resistor in series to the potentiometer (before it) to limit the current flow?
Hi Jounce1111, The purpose of the battery was to make this device portable so it can be quickly used in the field. I use this for quick testing of analog voltage inputs. The battery will ensure that the input is isolated from any other circuits. You could wire in another resistor and create a voltage divider so that the 24VDC supply can be used for the 10 VDC analog input. In our case, we are using a 10K ohm potentiometer, so we would need a 14K ohm resistor if our supply is 24VDC. www.ohmslawcalculator.com/voltage-divider-calculator What you are trying to do is limit the amount of voltage to the input. I hope this helps you out. Regards, Garry
I greatly appreciate you doing this for us....question, from what I can see on the software, I do not understand why after you get past 1VDC that Output1 turns OFF and ect as you go up. What is telling them to shut off once you get to the next increment?
Hi Ralph, Each line of code will specify the signal greater than and less than a value. ruclips.net/video/JwSeulaHV6U/видео.html Looking at rung one. If the analog value is above 0 but less than 1, the first output (Y1) will turn on. I hope this helps you out. Regards, Garry
Hi - Great video!! - Short and sweet.. I am trying to measure the torque of a Motor grabbing the Signal from a Driver and send the signal to the PLC to process - Is a similar setup will work?
Hi Gerardo Ortega, Thank you for the comments. For most motors, torque is directly proportional to the current and can be derived from it by knowing shaft speed and motor efficiency. You mention a driver that sends the signal. If this is an analog value, then yes you can read this into the PLC. If this is a communication driver then, you will need to know what protocol is being used. I hope this helps you out. Regards, Garry
Hi Beno, Currently, I do not have any samples for analog outputs or current inputs. The analog outputs can be read from a multimeter for testing. Regards, Garry
