Hello everyone,
My name is Randy and I am an electrician/instrument tech. I have limited experience with PLC programming, and any experience I do have is with RS Logix 500.
I have been asked to add a temperature transmitter to a 1769-L33ER CompactLogix controller with a firmware revision of 20.12. The transmitter has a range of 0-600 degrees Celsius and an output of 4-20mA and it has been wired to an available spare analog input on the PLC.
No alarms or shutdowns are required but the customer would like the reading displayed on the Panelview 1000 HMI and would like it to be trendable.
I went to the site today and obtained a copy of the PLC program and the HMI program. I was able to open both but to be honest I am in a little over my head.
I know I need to add a tag to the project, map the analog input to that tag, scale the 4-20 mA signal to read 0-600 degrees, and create a display on the HMI that is connected to that tag, but I am not sure exactly how to accomplish this.
Would someone be willing to give me some direction on how to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance,
Randy
