Hi all, I am attempting to make an engine monitor for my experimental aircraft. Three weeks ago I could not spell PLC, but I have been reading the manuals and this site. BTW, what a job you guys did with the Paula Stevens project.
Equipment:
Automation Direct DL-06 (12-24V)
C-More 3" Touch Screen
FO-08ADH-2 Voltage Module (8 channel)
FO-4THM Themocouple Module
I now need to know how to write the ladder program to read and send info to the C-More. From the Voltage Mod and THM Mod manuals I wrote what I thought might work, but with my very limited knowledge I'm sure it won't work.
What I wish to monitor is: 4 EGT, oil pres, oil temp, fuel pres, outside air temp, volts, amps, fuel level left & right. And if this works, RPM & Fuelflow
In the panel setup I used Vmem addresses 700-703 for the THM & 710-717 for volt module. I wish I knew how to show a screen shot of the ladder I wrote.
It goes something like this:
Rung 1 - SP0---------------LD K400
--OUT V700
--LDA O3000
--OUT V701
--LD K1
--OUT V703
--LD K0
--OUT V704
Rung 2 - SP1---------------LD K800
--OUT V710
--LDA O2000
--OUT V711
Rung 3 -----------------END
At this point your questions and suggestions will likely help me understand more. Thanks in advance for any help.
