Hello,
I am working on designing a test stand that needs to apply a controllable force using a pneumatic cylinder. The plan is to use a load cell and proportional valve with a PID loop. The stand will be a labview stand, but I do not want to run the PID loop in labview for timing issues. I am looking for some sort of hardware controller that will interface with the proportional valve and load cell. Something that I can send a desired force to and it will open the valve until that desired force is acheived. Does anybody know of a controller that can do this?
Thanks, Bryan
