All digital in/outs etc i have enough knowledge to comeplete this section of my project but I am coming unstuck when comes to analog inputs and out puts I have tried sourcing what info I can online YouTube etc other than schneiders own tutorials. i am struggling to grasp somashines software I know what I want to do if was using an arduino I could write the code but I'm not 2 things I'm trying to do 1 is use the analog output to control a 3 phase speed controller from the hmi rather than using a 10k pot so just need the 4mA to 20mA output to feed straight i to the controllers terminals and the 2nd thing I want to do is use a pnp proxy on a 4 prong pully mounted pic up to give a rpn read out on the hmi if could get a few pointers more on the plc side first then will have a go at setting the hmi up before I seek help if needed thanks in advance

Hi Blake,

You might want to re-post your inquiry in the Live PLC Questions and Answers sub-forum, which is much more active. I'm sure you'll get some helpful responses. This Practice sub-forum is mostly used by people learning to use the forum software features.

Using the card TMC2AQ2C SoMachine Basic gives you the option to scale the raw value (BCD) in a min. and max., type in you card part number in SoMachine Help and search. There is a description on how to scale the analog value.
