Mike W Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 I have a project that I need to simulate battery decay. PLC outputs generally operate in the 0 to 10 volt range. I need to operate in the 10 to 14 volt range. Anyone have a simple solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike W Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 I do not see the post I tried to enter earlier. This is a second attempt so ignore it if it is repeated. I am trying to find a way to simulate an automotive battery charge discharge cycle. PLC outputs are rated 0 to 10 volts. Can I simply stack it on a 5 volt power supply like two batteries to offset it 5 volts? If not how do you recommend simulating 10 to 15 volt range.

MVP 2023 Joe Tauser Posted March 2, 2014 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Mike, If you add an isolated 5V supply in series with the 10V output you should be able to get 5 - 15 V out. Kirchhoff's voltage law works whether it's a PLC circuit or not. Have you tried it yet? Joe T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
