Control valve with 4-20mA output

[hfbeas]

I have one analoge input 4-20mA from a flow meter. Scaled to 0-100.

 

I need to send out 4-20mA to my control valve depending on that input. In example, if the input from flow meter is 12mA (50) I need the valve to half close 12(mA).

 

 

What will be the correct way to solve this with ladder in unilogic software? I see no need for PID.

 

I have used MOV blocks before, but that is not available here.

 

 

 

 

Thanks.

Just make sure that your input and output scaling are the same and do a store from the input value to the output value. That is assuming you don't need to do anything else with it and it's a direct relationship between the two.

Thanks, I will look into the "store" function..

 

In Visiologic you had this possibility to assign operand and adress for inputs/outputs here:

 

 

What is the equivalent action in unilogic? 

[s.pratt]

Upon adding an I/O module to the hardware configuration, an I/O struct is automatically created for your with the registers where that I/O information will be held.  You can find the I/O struct through the I/O tab in the bottom window of the UniLogic software.

 

For instance, if I add a UIA-0402N module to the configuration, the software automatically creates the UIA-0402N_X struct for me.  Now If I wish to reference and analog input from the card, I can call it through the struct (i.e. UIA-0402N_X.Input[input_0]) or via its Alias name (which you can define yourself).

 

For more information on this subject, please watch our Youtube tutorial on the UniLogic hardware configuration here.

 

Hope this helps.

Using the store function you do need to verify both values work the same way.

 

At 12ma the valve my be half open/closed but is it open or closed at 20 ma?  If you're reading 18 ma, should the valve be more open, or more closed?

 

If they are an inverse of each other you'll need to use the linearize function to get the right output, if it's direct, then STORE works fine.

Thank you all for your answers.

 

Maybe I do not understand.

Scale same?

You think that corresponds to the measured temperature is real? This would be conform by other measuring devices.

I do not know how to set those values.

I would need to show how well these 19 values ​​set.

Then I'll understand what I'm doing wrong.

And in the future, I am already set up himself. Help helped me :-(.
