Hello all, i have a hydrolic cylinder that has to run at 1 inch per second till it hits full stroke (40 inches) than retract. i have a transducer in the cylinder that can measure the distance of the cylinders stroke. i need to develop a screen that shows the actual "real time" speed of the cylinder. how can i do this....
also, the cylinder has a 4-20mA directional valve that is controlled by an analog output card,the cylinder needs to auto correct itself if while running it starts to move faster than 1 in/s..could i accomplish this using a PID instruction??
i am using a plc-5. but they may make me swap the plc-5 to a micrologix 1100 due to the etherent capabilities
thanks for your help!!
