Problem with High Impedance of SSR in Analog Output of PLC


Recommended Posts

I have some problems with analog SSR (Celduc, Carlo-Gavazzi, etc brands) when I try to control from an 4-20mA analog output of OPLC.

For example with the V200-18-E2B the load impedance is 500Ω maximum for current output. The input dynamic impedance of the SSR is ≥ 100 Ω but a drop in voltage ≤ 8 VDC @ 20 mA.

The application doesn't work from 4-8mA, I suppose the dynamic impedance of the SSR will be higger than 500Ω.

I found one solution to use several SSR with an analog output, inserting a Power Suply between the output and the SSR. Do you use it any time? does it secure for the analog output of Unitronics?

Calculating things out for the RJ1P puts the impedance of the SSR right at 500ohm. And you pointed out, the Unitronics is looking for < 500ohm.

500 ohms is pretty typical across all manufacturers for a max impendance for an output like this. I would point the finger more so at Carlo in this case. They shouldn't have to design it with so much impedance.

The power supply is a valid solution, but I think I would put more effort into finding better SSRs.

OK, I have never had problems with SSR of ERO ELECTRONIC, CONTINENTAL, FUJI ELECTRIC. The end customer have this kind of low cost SSR but they works well with Toho Controllers.

Well, I think the idea of the power suply to solve the drop in voltage of the cheap SSR will be the solution.
