So wheres the sheet that compares the varying "levels" of software packaging? I think my distributor is trying to charge me for RSLogix Starter1 person likes this -
HA - thanks. Copy. Yeah I knew that I was testing you. BTW, your website is great. I used it quite abit in refreshing myself. My background is mechanical but Ive done a couple of things with a PLC - mostly simple discreet stuff. One project with an LVDT. Motor controlling is new to me. -
Geez - good thing his hydraulics didnt decide to fail. -
The VFD is an ABB ACS550. It has a few pre-programmed macros in its system now. Looking through the manual I think Id like to use the macro "Alternate". Here is what I want to do. I want to set up a test bench to motor. I want to have the ability to control the motor either manually with a POT or automatically with a PLC program. Im thinking that the input AI1 on the VFD is what I want to hook to. Can anyone confirm this? Also, what would the ladder look like for this portion? I have an idea but again, Id like to confirm. I was thinking of hooking the POT to the analog input on the PLC and using 2 seperate outputs - one in a manual subroutine and one in an auto subroutine to discern which output should be sent to the VFD. Im a long time listener and first time caller to this website.
