Hi Guys,
I have been looking around for an answer to my question and so far have had no success.
I have an AB 1762-OF4 module which is connected to a ML 1400 1766-L32BWA PLC. I need to run a proportional solenoid valve with the 4-20mA output of the module however I am stuck.
The solenoid is 12V DC but the 1762-OF4 is 24 DC. The solenoid is wired via a 3-wire transmitter - the power supply for the setup shares the common of the transmitter with the common of the analogue output. I know the analogue card doesn't output any power, it's merely a 4-20 mA signal.
I need to how I can get this to work considering I have two different voltage ratings for the transmitter and the analogue module.
My electrician originally asked me this question. I attached a diagram of the setup.
Also, if my question seems naive, it's because I'm actually a mechanical engineer.
Thanks in advance.
