    Temperature PID closed loop

    Ok so a PID (block) is always giving 0-100% right? No matter what the set and the actual units are (degree Celsius in this case) So if set = actual value = no error, the output is 0 right? Then I could use the 0-100% output and scale it into 4-20mA on the analog 4-20mA output terminal. I was...

    Temperature PID closed loop

    Hi. I have an application where i want to control the temperature in a room with a resistive load, Controlling the load with a PLC. Ok so im going to use a powercontroller. The power controller takes 4-20mA and controls the load 0-100%. To be able to control the temerature due to a temperature...

    heat control

    Thanks for good suggestions. I will go for PLC, Thermocuple, PID, and SCR. I'm using Beckhoff PLC. They have a autotuning PID for temperature control. I want to control temperature from the PLC as it is a part of a bigger building automation system and there is sentralized functions and...

    heat control

    Ok. I cant drive big loads from a PLC, so I need a power controller. The PLC is used as a main controller in a distributed control system in house automation. So I found a way of doing this using PLC with I/O's, temperatur sensor and a SCR power controller. Controlling the temperature by a PID...

    heat control

    KNX or EIB is a bus system. It is often used in building automation on light and heat control. The components are very expensive but they have good functionality. So I try to find a way of controlling the heat without KNX devices.

    heat control

    Hi. I like to control an electrical underfloor heating termostat with my PLC (Beckhoff). I like to be able to set setpoint (Temperature) and read flor temperature in the PLC 4-20ma or 0-10V is good, but also any bus signal is fine However I cant find a sutible termostat for this job. Any...

    CitectFacilities HMI/SCADA

    Hi, Anyone experience with Citect SCADA software. Im planning to use it in a building automation project. The vendor says it (CitectFacilities) is compleatly free. I find this hard to belive. It seems to be such a complex and powerful software. Is this true? Is it a good software? Thanks...

    Analog Output Scaling - Beckhoff

    Hi. I have an application where I going to control a servo motor. The input to servo motor driver card is +-10V. So I have a +-10V output card in my Beckhoff CX1030 controller. The position of the servo is +-30degree, hence +-10V is +-30degree. The speed of the servo is given by frequency of...

    Array of struct, ST language

    Interesting that you mention this. It actually was for this purposes I had the initial question about the struct. It is part of such a state machine where states and transistions is compressed into a table. It is super efficient. The link you had describe a variant of the system I use. I did...

    Array of struct, ST language

    Its a Beckhoff PLC. It has array handeling. I found out how to do:) Thanks!

    Array of struct, ST language

    Hi. I try to implement an array of struct in IEC61131-3 ST language. The C code look like this: Code: Struct BDD { Unsigned char a1; Unsigned int a2; Unsigned int a3; Unsigned int a4; } struct BDD BDD_table[4] = { {'X', 1, 1, 2}, {'a', 0, 100, 0}, {'a', 1, 100, 2}, {'X', 2, 5, 4} };So...

    Using a PLC to control an analog driver board

    Hi. Im going to control a galvanometer (control of a mirror - set position (angle), set velocity, position feedback) with an analog driver board. The driver galvanometer is controlled like this: analogue input (selectable +/-3, 5, 8 or 10V). The position output is always +/-3V. Depending on...

    Dynamic simulation

    Hi. Im try to do a simulation. Its a complex assembly and I use automatically convert constraints to standard joint to save time. Now this is ok. However I like to delete some joints and change some welded groups but its not possible to delete or change anything. Why? Do I have to build...

    Optocupler question.

    Ok I agree. But the range must be as wide as possible. 1. So will an zero-cross optically isolated triac driver work in, lets say 5-230 VAC , 0.5-120 Hz? 2. Do I need to filter the signal with other components to get a clean signal? Hans

    Optocupler question.

    Thanks. This is what I want exactly: I want to make a cleen square puls from a 0 - 220VAC 0-120HZ. The signal must be noise free. The output (Square pulse) is going into a AVR microcontroller. Then I like to calculate the frequence of the AC signal. The positiv part of the AC sine signal must...

    Optocupler question.

    I'v found something that I find interesting, a zero-cross optically isolated triac driver seems to take an AC signal into smal square pulses TTL signal, right?

    Optocupler question.

    If I have a sine AC signal (50Hz) signal going into a optocupler. How will the output look like?

    isolation transformer

    Can I use an Opto cupler instead?
