Viewing Feedback from a powerflex remotely

[TyJ]

Hey all, i am trying to find an easy way to view the feedback from a powerflex 40 drive that is located in a different room then the potentiometer that runs it. I see that i could buy a remote display/keypad but the cable it comes with is not near long enough and i dont need to control it, just view the Hz. Is this easily possible? Thanks

Hi

Not sure if the pf 40 has an analogue output but if it does you could use that and buy a cheap display

Again not sure if the pf 40 has an analogue output

that is the one i found from redlion, i think i bought it for $170 or something along those lines. Its universally powered either 24vdc or 120, and once you input your 4-20 sig coming from the powerflex you can scale it to whatever value you want, hope this helps.
