Hi, i am beginner with a PLC Systems and i have a couple of questions about flow measuring with a Siemens S7-300 PLC. I need to measure flow in the pipe with a sensor on the picture.
This sensor on the picture is RS Stock No. 256-225 ( here are the specifications ).
This sensor was previously connected to a ''Frequency to voltage converter'' and than from there the value of the sensor was displayed on the digital LED display. Frequency to voltage converter uses the LM 2917 ( here are the specifications of the LM2917 ) and the shema of the frequency to voltage converter is shown on the picture below.
I need this sensor connect to a PLC, so here are my questions:
-can i connect this sensor directly to a Siemens S7-300 PLC (on which module)?
-if i can't connect it directly, can i than use this frequency to voltage converter to connect this sensor to a Siemens S7-300 PLC (on which module)?
