Hi All,
First off, thanks for all the previous help. Now I have another question.
I am using a 1756-OF8 to send a 0-10V signal to an actuator. The position of the actuator is 100% open at 10V, and 100% closed at 0V. Any voltage in between will open the damper to the relative percentage (ie, 5V will open to approx. 35-40%). I am having difficulty getting the outputs to show up correctly.
I have configured channels 0, 1 & 2 for each of the 3 actuators. The output range for the module is -10 to 10V. Under scaling,
High Signal High Engineering
10V = 100
Low Signal Low Engineering
0V = 0
I have tag ACTUATOR_1_OUT aliased to output channel 0.
When I go through the calibration, I get 0V and 10V as I should. However, when I run my program, even though ACTUATOR_1_OUT is 100, I measure 1V on my multimeter.
I appreciate any and all advice.
Thanks
Steve
