The case of analog acquisition and processing in PLC
The case of analog acquisition and processing in PLC
In the control of automation equipment, for the acquisition of some variables such as temperature, pressure, etc., we generally use analog. Analog is different from I/O, we usually say I/O for digital, digital only two states, either ON, or OFF, and analog is in a certain range of continuous changes in the amount. So how should we handle the analog quantity in the control system? Follow the editorial below to learn about it.
The first thing we need to know is that analog is divided into analog input and analog output two kinds, the collection of external pressure, temperature, etc. we want to use analog input unit, by adjusting the voltage or current of a given component, we want to choose the analog output unit. So for Panasonic FP0R series PLC, what are our analog control units?

Analog module models
Because of more models, I will take the analog input module as an example today and communicate with my partners. First we should understand how to carry out the external wiring of the module.

Analog input module wiring diagram
Partners please note the logo part of the figure, analog wiring, please try to use shielded twisted-pair wires, which can effectively reduce the interference between circuits, so as to achieve the purpose of a stable collection of data. (Note: voltage and current connections are not consistent)
After the external wiring is completed, how do we write the program to read the external voltage or current into the PLC? This requires us to write the program. I take the PLC host after the first slot hanging for our analog input module as an example of program introduction.
