24vdc to 5vdc converter?

[LURBY 1]

I would like to use the PTO output on a ML1200 to run a Ultra 3000 servo drive. The output of the PLC is 24vDC. The Ultra 3000 requires a 5vDC input. Any ideas on how to convert this voltage? I would think that there would be a ready solution from AB since they are both AB products? There is probably a way to do it with resistors and a soldering iron but I am not as "electronics" savvy as I should be! Thanks for your help. Chuck

I am averse to board level components hanging around industrial terminal blocks when I can buy a more expensive package that "bolts in". Seriously' date=' I despise resistor arrays on terminal blocks and caps dangling...give me a din rail mount box with all that stuff protected...[/size'] http://www.google.co...erp.dUTK_iP4NBA I suggest in most cases, pony up for the 44 pin cable and not the drive mounted break out board.

Your garden variety SSR with 24 VDC input and 5VDC output will do it but they are limited to about 5 kHz frequency. The Calex 8501 or 8502 will do what you want and it can handle up to 20 kHz frequency. http://www.calex.com/pdf/8501_02.pdf
