Hi there,
I'm new to the forum and to PLC's in general. I do have some control experience although mostly just installation.
I attended a class for PLC basics about directlogic PLC's.
I have the task of making a simple PID loop to be used with a dl205. I need to monitor a temperature, and control an output accordingly. Very basic.
My question is how difficult is this to accomplish using directsoft programming? I already have a temperature sensor in the program going to a display. I just need to utilize the temperature, and send a proportional output to a solid state relay.
Would the code be very lengthy for this? When it comes to custom programming I am an extreme novice. Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks!
