Hello All,
I am using the on-board PID on a PowerFlex 525 to run a conveyor that will maintain a loop using a distance laser. The laser is hooked up to a MicroLogix 1100 and is communicating via Ethernet. The way the hardware has been built will require setpoint and feedback to be routed through Ethernet from the MicroLogix 1100 to the PowerFlex 525.
I am having difficulty finding any information beyond an appendix in the back of the user manual to describe how to access the parameters other than the command, status, feedback, and reference words.
Before anyone tells me, so I already know this is not the less than ideal way to use a 525 but the decision was made without my input and I am now stuck with this now, need to make it work, and in need of assistance. Any and all would be greatly appreciated.
In a nut shell, I would like to know is how to write to the PID feedback (Parameter: 464) and setpoint (Parameter: ???) parameters on the 525 parameters and that's it.
Thanks,
Lucas
