Hi,
System
AB SLC 5/03.
1746 - HSCE Card for encoder 1024ppr encoder input.
1746 - N104V 2channel analogue input/output card.
Drive roller dia = 100mm (~4inch)
The machine drive roller pulls material through the machine at about 10m/min

I need to measure the speed of the machine via the encoder and send a 0-10V output to another drive card via the analogue output card.
I assume I will have to convert ppr to rpm and then to a value that the analogue card can use for the 0-10volt output.

I would appreciate any help / suggestions on how to achieve this using the above kit.

Regards,
mrbj

I would not use the rpm, instead use the material per second or material per minute.
Calculate the circumference of the roller, then determine distance moved over some length of time. Esitmate max throughput and then use the SCP instruction to covert to the analog card counts.
