I am creating a control system to monitor several liquid inputs for a washing system. The inputs are to include several discrete IO, conductivity and temperature. I can manage most issues dealing with the programming, but my experience with analog is very limited. Actually I have no idea where to begin other than reading what I can on this website. I have read the SLC instruction manual dealing with Analog inputs and how one can configure the modules within the program, but I will be using a ML1100 (1763-L16AWA) and the manual is not as descriptive (no programming examples). I will be adding the 4 option modules in the following configuration.
Slot 1-- 1762-IA8 input module
Slot 2-- 1762-OA8 output module
Slot 3-- 1762-IF4 analog input module
Slot 4-- 1762-IF4 analog input module
During my reading on this site I have discovered that the ML1100 analog input cards have a configuration screen which can be accessed through the IO Configuration in the explorer window. Once here I can double click on the Analog module and get to a screen with 3 tabs (expansion general config. Analog input config. and generic extra data config). From this point I no longer have any idea of what to do.
Any programming or configuration ideas would be greatly appreciated.
