Hi all
I'm going to be wiring up a transducer that has the following connections:
Pin 1: Not Used
Pin 2: 0V
Pin 3: 10..0V
Pin 4: Not Used
Pin 5: 0..10V
Pin 6: GND
Pin 7: +24V
Pin 8: Not Used
I am wanting to use the 0..10V output and run it back to a Siemens 300 series PLC. There is room on the PLC rack for an analogue card but I've no idea which card I would need. I've had a look through the hardware catalogue within Simatic Manager but still not sure what I should be ordering.
I want to use the 0..10V output from the transducer. I'm assuming (although correct me if I'm wrong) that the analogue cards come with 4 terminals. 2 for signal and 2 for power? Or do the analogue cards just have 2 terminals for the 0..10V and this transducer will need a separate power supply?
Also, which analogue cards are for 0..10V or do you just set them up in the software?
Does anyone know about these cards enough to advise me on what card would be suitable. I'm unfamiliar with the analogue side of things (among lots of other things!!)
Many thanks for any help you can give me
