Technical support / Connecting and controlling a 12VDC Motor
« on: September 30, 2004, 04:12:44 AM »
I am new at using the T100 PLC and dont want to get off on the wrong foot right off the bat. Can some one tell me how to best hookup a 9amp 12VDC Motor to my plc so that i can run it at two speeds.
I am wanting to run a pump for two chemicals at two different speeds so that my spray nozzles will output at different micron levels. I am planning to use a solenoid after the pump to direct the fluid to either one of two lines mixing the two chemicals after the pump. My DC motor is a 9 amp motor and i presume i will have to use a contactor with it but if i do that how can i control the speed?
Boy, talk about lost...
Any programming help or code would most certainly be helpful as well.
