PLC to Speedpot
PLC to Speedpot
(OP)
I have an old DC drive that I would like to adjust the speed from my PLC. I have a 0-10 vdc analog output from my that I would like to use to control the speedpot. How do I mimic the speedpot?

RE: PLC to Speedpot
Anyhow, if the polarity is right, just substitute your 0-10 V for the pot input. Do not forget to connect your "what?" device's zero (analogue ground) to the drive's analogue ground.
If the polarity isn't right, you may need a loop isolator with 10 V in and 10 V out (a standard device) to get it right.

if it's the plc inside has program for speedpot, try set speed to 50% then check output analog plc its must be around 5 Vdc.
if ok then connect 0 V from analog output PLC to 0V terminal your DC drive and connect 10V from analog output PLC to terminal Vin for speed control at your DC drive.
