Hi again,
I am building a PV+ application that interfaces with a SLC5/04 and am communicating on Serial DF1.
I originally was displaying the current (Raw 0-30840)in a scale and was quite happy with the results.
Now, the supervisor is requesting that I display the Frequency of the Drive, rather than the current that I am sending to it.
Is there a calculation that I can do to take the analog signal and turn into a "somewhat accurate frequency" to display on the panel?
I am limited to completing the calculations in the PV+ app, due to the requirements and regulations of our plant. (I cannot modify the PLC code to suit)
BTW, the drives are dumb terminals, not controlnet or anything fancy...they are about 5-7 years old.
Thanks all for the responses.
