Battery Charger 12 volt
Battery Charger 12 volt
(OP)
Thanks for the help.
I am designing a machine with a touch screen and a PLC.
There are 3 24 volt motor and 2 12 volt motors.
I would like to run the unit on 6 gel cel batteries.
The question is I need to have a "Fuel Gage" and/or a charger than can talk to the plc.

Strictly speaking that is not a question.
If you could spend a few minutes writing down what you need then you may get some appropriate help. For example you would like to run the unit on 6 gel cel batteries. Why 6? What voltage, 2V or 12V? There is just far too little information presented.

I didn't want to sent the post like that,
I got called away from by desk any way.
I have 6 gel cells at 12 v each for a 24v system.
How do I get the PLC to "read" the voltage like a fuel gage.

If so, What voltages will it measure?

2. Voltage is not a direct indicator of remaining capacity, so you need to consult the battery supplier and get the data from them
3. You need to write the software to convert voltage into capacity and then write the software to display the data in a "fuel gauge" format.

The gauge could be done in firmware (VHDL) or software, depending on your overall system design. Cell voltage depends on three things:
1) cell charge state
2) temperature
3) load current being drawn
If the load current is variable then you would need to measure the load current as well as the cell's terminal voltage in order to estimate the remaining cell capacity.
