PLC analog input modules open forum

PLC is one of the most important factory automation control devices , with a wide range of applications in the factory. As technology advances , PLC has been out of the " logic control ," the simple scope , PLC has more analog-digital conversion , digital to analog conversion, high-speed counting , speed control , position control, axis positioning control, temperature control, PID control , telecommunications and high-level language programming and other functions.
Due to historical reasons, the development of technology , the traditional PLC products is still relatively closed . But in the mutual PLC Programmable Logic Controller  exchange of information on real-time , deepening liquidity requirements today , PLC control to continue to adapt to the needs of the plant , openness trend has become increasingly evident. With the continuous opening of the PLC , which has a much richer functionality . This month we will be more open to discuss the development of PLC functions .
Open open trend has emerged PLC is inevitable , closed PLC will give users a great deal of inconvenience. For example, the need to expand a factory or during use and the introduction of a number of other manufacturers of equipment , PLC because each vendor uses a different means of communication, can not communicate with each other , it will cause the new system is not compatible with the original system . Siemens have noticed several years ago this problem and focus on the promotion of Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) concept , with the PROFIBUS fieldbus technology to facilitate communication with higher performance PLC . Open PLC is inevitable . Judging from the current development of automation , overall system performance is more important in the processing equipment , which makes people pay more attention with the performance PLC and peripheral devices , the protagonist of the status of the PLC has been gradually fading. Effectively carry PLC and peripheral devices communicate , not only for the input , output , analog , etc., also includes servo , scanning and intelligent instruments and so there will be more demand . Now  Nanda Power supply module plc users in many applications the choice of the PLC are no longer considered too technical degree , but the question of which brand to choose from. These are important reasons to promote the PLC open. The current situation on the market trend also proved PLC openness . Although the major PLC manufacturers according to their respective surfaces are still ways to promote the production of PLC, but if you observe carefully , all manufacturers have been from a different perspective on the function of the open PLC made ​​improvements . Many types of PLC can communicate using a specific method , the Internet .
But we should also be aware that , although we are in the efforts to open , but may be due to the open deep meaning , so that there is no guarantee that he would dare the PLC is truly open .

a brief introduction plc analog output modules in

You say that your sensor with analog output , analog input , ( meaning the module is to convert your voltage or current value to digital, then you can calculate the slope of the current form of the temperature or pressure . )
If you are asked to read the temperature or pressure PLC Plc controller manufacturers  values ​​, you must sensors with analog outputs and analog outputs. So you buy a simulation module , connect the analog module with PLC, analog output and input sensor is connected with the module ( module wiring diagram of course you do not have to worry about this ) . When the pass on the power after the current value of the module automatically detects the sensor and then convert it to digital, you calculate a formula based on its slope slope table , so you can know the current value of the temperature or pressure .
If so then what is the analog output module output ? Is a need to convert digital or specific value or quantity of modules and digital output is the same as an electric signal ?
The same output is a voltage or current signal wiring PLC Plc logic controllers  relationship with you , then the output current is the current line , then the line voltage is the output voltage. Temperature can be equipped with PT100, if needed pressure with pressure transmitter (4-20mA output ) , then select the range to be based on the meter .
What is the analog of the PLC are the same, as long as the project based on the amount of data can be transformed .
In addition , many of the instruments have a communication function or frequency output, which could save an AD module connection is also convenient.

plc analog io module
Originally small plc logic controller, which is handling the switch. But now the PLC can handle analog signals, but the PLC computing power or weak, so-called analog is the analog computing simple arithmetic or comparison, and some introduced PID operation. So now the PLC can also analog, such as temperature, etc. to control.
Analog scaling
Because the correspondence between A / D (analog / digital), D / A (digital / analog) conversion between, S7-200 CPU internal representation of the external value of the analog signal, a certain mathematical relationship between the two. This relationship is the conversion between analog / numerical quantity.

For example, using a 0 - 20mA analog signal input, the S7-200 CPU inside, 0 - 20mA corresponds to the numerical range 0--32000; for 4 - 20mA signal, the corresponding internal value for 6400--32000.

If there are two sensors, the range is 0 - 16MPa, but one is 0 - 20mA output, and the other is 4 - 20mA output. They are at the same pressure, the different transmitter analog current magnitude, the value in the internal representation S7-200 different. Obviously scaling relationship that exists between the two. The case of the analog output is also roughly the same.

A digital plc analog io modules and  output module plc application management technology introduction
Generation IC requires 3.3 V, 1.8 V or lower supply voltage, the device requires multiple single voltage supply and the demand for a large electric current, the voltage must be applied to the device with the correct timing. Voltage power supply for these devices must be on the circuit board (preferably from these devices near the place) to produce, so that a minimum pressure drop and voltage stability. High-performance DC / DC converters for a wide range of input, either as isolated power, but also as a non-isolated point of load converters. Thus, most board power supply system has been high-speed counter plc  used DC / DC converter as a power supply module body. However, if the lack of power management circuits, you can not build a complete, robust power system. Content includes power management: Power system monitoring, sequencing and tracking, monitoring and fail-safe. Power management devices at the input common-mode rejection handling, start limit, starting and control off, and even power factor correction and other functions. Configuration at the output of the power management device control startup sequencing and output voltage regulation, and for the over-voltage, over-current conditions fail to provide appropriate protection. All relevant requirements and functional circuits are isolated from the main circuit.

plc analog io modules and how to convert digital

The concept is relative to the analog digital (switch) is, the digital signal is a signal that the signal is only two states 0 and 1, such as our trip switch button.
Is a discrete analog signals, plc analog io modules Analog data within a certain range, Ken can be any value, such as pressure, temperature, flow rate can be either a voltage can be 0.1 0.12 etc. When we deal plc sequence of events module  with such signals, with analog modules! Equipment such as temperature and humidity into analog signals need to use analog modules, analog module includes voltage, current, RTD, thermocouple module may cause the input signal voltage value of less, depending on your 0 - 10v with a  Programmable Input Module load capacity of how kind, because this time the input impedance of 250 ohms, then the maximum current can reach 40MA, the voltage signals are generally not such a big load capacity, in fact, the current input is converted to 4-20ma to 1 - 5v voltage before making A / D conversion. If the 0-10v enough to do with a load capacity may exceed the input limit, unless your plc modules are set in accordance with 0-10. Here is not required for transformation, when entering plc analog input module via analog, through conversion (programming calculation), the corresponding temperature value, then according to pulse input module plc  your set of 100 degrees Celsius to compare the size (programming), when greater than 100 degrees, plc control output IO module enables equipment downtime too, of course, out of the signal may be digital. Because just a simple switch, very simple.
