I am building a panel for a chain conveyor with 3 powerflex 4 drives. Only 1 of 3 will the operator need control. I can wire the pot straight to the drive with no problem but I want to give the operator a read-out in the control station. I have a micrologix 1400 with an IF2OF2 card. My first thought would be to run the pot to the input of the card and use the 2 outputs to feed each the drive and the panel meter. However, I do not have a 10vdc power supply and the meter is 4-20ma loop powered. With the current configuration can someone offer a solution? I can get a 10-12vdc power supply if needed but want to see if it’s possible without it first.
