Hi all,
I have a linear transducer connected to a Siemens analogue input card (6ES7 334-0CE01-0AA0).
When the transducer is at its lowest it reads 6252 in the PLC (via the PIW) and at it's highest it is reading 17182.
When the machine lowers slightly the transducer value jumps by quite a large amount (around 100 each time).
I wondered whether this is an issue with the transducer just not being very sensitive or whether I could help this issue by installing a 12 'bit' resolution analogue card?
Would the fact that my card is only 8 bits make a difference (please excuse if this is a stupid question).
Thanks for any light you can shed on this
