I have an application where we have an AB Poweflex 700S AC Drive connected to a controllogix via enet ip.. We have an analog signal coming in on a plc input for RAM SPEED. The customer wants the drive to follow the RAM SPEED analog input profile while running. What is the best way to do this? I really don't want to do gearing the drive because it is not following another encoder but a plc analog input. Could I just do some scaling like 0-30 in/sec ram speed == 0-1800 RPM motor speed? Just wandering about trying to match the profiles.. Any suggestions would be helpful and appreciated.. Thanks.
