GS-20 AI1

GS20, CLICK & EA9 on a LAN network.

I am using AI2, 4-20ma for control of the GS-20 in a pumping application. It works fine. No issues.

0-100 PSI.

 

I would like to monitor another pressure via its AI1, 0-10 volt and read that via the CLICK. No interaction with the existing loop. 0-15 PSI

 

Is this doable? What parameters?


  • ADC Community_04 (AutomationDirect)

    You could read P03.47 (Modbus register 400816)

    This parameter holds the AI1% value that gives you the percentage of 0-10V at AI1.

    The value is given as 0.00%-100.00% with 2 implied decimal places.

     

    EX.

    10000 = 100.00% (10V)

    5000 = 50.00% (5V)

     

    You should set the following parameters 

    P03.00 = 0 (No function)

    P03.28 = 0 (0-10V)

    Leave P03.63-P03.68 all at their default values.

    Scaling to PSI can be done in the Click with a Math instruction.

     

    (AI1% / 10000) * 15.0

    I'm not sure this is what you're after, but I've "mirrored" or "passed through" a signal from AI2 to A01. Sounds like you want to mirror AI1 to A01, in which case you would set P03.20 to 9.

      I had considered this, but my issue was how to set P03.00

      I will give it a try. I do not need the value of AI1 to be used by the drive in any way. P03.00 was my hangup.
