I have a need to monitor true actual voltage coming from a ac power source to a c-more micro graphic panel. I am using a click plc. I installed a graph on the c-more with a 1 sec refresh rate if this all makes sense. I added the graph to the panel and in simulate mode it works fine I just need to know what to use or if there is anything out there that will do what I want to feed the click. I am reading voltages 0 to 240 volts a/c If not any suggestions? Thanks Rudy

gatlin63,
What type of Click do you have?

I have a analog click without going to the shop I think it is a C0-02DD1-D.

How do I read the AC voltage from a generator output to a Click C0-02DR-D to a C-more Micro-Graphic Panel? This is what we have on hand now but can be changed to suit this request. The generator is about 25 feet from the panel if this makes and difference. Thought about adding a digital meter but no more room on the face so this is our only option. Plus it would look nicer.
Thanks in advance for any help..........

gatlin63,
This is a link to a voltage transducer. http://www.flex-core.com/voltage-transducers.htm A transducer will take your AC voltage as an input and "scale " it to a 4-20 mA output. Use this output to supply a signal to your analog Click. From there it is just a matter of having the C-More micro read the value for the scale on the screen. It looks like the MVT model will do what you need. I don't know how much one costs and there are many others that will work also. Keep us informed.
