I want the code to read the amount of dc current flowing through the wire that the transducer is monitoring and eventually show the results, in real time, either in analog or digital format on the PanelView plus 600. The project requires a "Pass/Fail" acknowledgement in that if the current draw is more than 15.00amps, an output for "Fail" will be energized and if the current draw is greater than 5.00amps and not more than 15.00amps, an output for "Pass" will be energized. These 2 conditions will only happen after 3 test cycles; that is, after the current is monitored for 3 on/off cycles(these cycles are already written using timers), the "Pass" or "Fail" output will energize. But, if at anytime during any of the test cycles the current exceeds 15.00amps, the "Fail" output will energize.
I am using CompatLogix L43 firmware revision 19.11.
The 1769-IF8 is configured the sam for all channels - 4-20ma, 60Hz, Engineering Units, and 130ms real time sample. It is a series "A" revision 1.1 module in slot 5.
The input at the analog module is 4ma and if by number of points to count you mean the maximum amount current to read, that would be 20 for 20amps. It can be more than that if it is easier to compute. It's just that if any of the compressors reach 18.00amps they're going to be producing a good bit of smoke if not fire also. They are manufactured in China and cost only $7 each.
