Hello everyone! It has been a while since I've been on.
I was hoping that i could get some info on how to connect potentiometers to a Pico PLC in order to control timing of a circuit?
Here is what I am trying to do....
I have an old food vacuum machine that the timing PC board went bad on. Rather than trouble shooting the board, I would rather install a Pico controller to run this operation.
I do not understand how to use the potentiometers for the vacuum time and the seal bar time as analog inputs to this type of controller. The PLC I am thinking of using is a AB-1760.
Does anyone have experience with this unit and can tell be how to use the Pot's as inputs.
I'd like to learn more about the input theory ( analog and digital ). Any suggested reading?
Thanks Barry.
