I am programming a PLC with the following inputs: 6 push buttons, 4 2-position selector switches, and 4 3-position selector switches. The 3 position has an off position and 2 active states. I have 6 OUTPUT lights. These are all digital inputs and outputs, I now have an analog input connected to a potentiometer and to be connected to an output voltmeter. 10V is inputted across this potentiometer, and when I adjust the POT the voltage( 0-10V) can be read on the output voltmeter. I have never done any programming with analog inputs/outputs. What I want to know is if this this is possible and maybe how it is done:
I want to be able to adjust the POT to read 0-10V across the output voltmeter. If the meter is reading between 0-2V I want to jump to this subroutine or program and my buttons/switches will operate somehow to control the 6 lights in some kind of instruction set I have developed. If the meter is between 2-4V I want to go to this subroutine my buttons ans switches have a different program to run by. And so on...Is this possible?
This is a PLC trainer we are developing and I have asked questions about this project before on here and this is a new task we are looking into performing. Any feedback or help would be much appreciated. Thanks
