Hi everyone,
I have a SLC 500 (5/04) with a 1746-NI8 Analog module input.
I have two questions:
1. I have noticed there is a IN0-, IN0+ and SHIELD PORTS. I am currently trying to wire a potentiometer in that module. Currently I have my potentiometer connected:
- Black wire (-) to the 10VDC power supply (0V)
- Red wire to the (10V)
- Signal Wire to the IN0+ Port (1746-IN8)
- The IN- port I have it connected to the 10VDC Power supply (0V)
- I am not sure where should I connect the SHIELD port to?
(Also my MODULE STATUS IS ON - GREEN however my CHANNEL STATUS are all OFF)
2. This question is about how to read the voltage (0-10Vdc) into the ladder logic program. I referred to the specification online and follow the programming configuration.
The application that I am trying to do is to have the potentiometer on a robot arm to read the positions for each joint.
