I have been asked to modify a system that is using 4 AB 160 drives; which controls 4, 3 phase 480vac motors by 10k pots, using 4-20ma; to be controlled by a panelview 600(touch screen only). The run/stop is controlled through the plc. We want to use a preset menu to set the drives at a preset speed, but we also want to be able to adjust the speed manually while we are in production. I am using AB slc 5/04 with RSlogix 500, and I'm using a analog output card for the control. I don't know how to write the program for it, I'm a troubleshooter not a programmer(yet). I can write simple program but this a little harder for me.
The motors are used for conveyors and are 3-1hp, and 1-1.5hp. The drives are 2-2hp 4.6a, and 2-3hp 7a.
I have tried to search past threads before I posted, but I didn't see anything that would help me.
Thanks in advance,
