    Advice on Process Simulator using Split Ranged PLC Outputs

    Ah, just looked again. I see there is actually an output there.

    Advice on Process Simulator using Split Ranged PLC Outputs

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! Hi Carl, Thank you so much for the help. The delay and waveform are just what I'm after. I take it that V1 and V2 are actually where I would make the input and output connections? I haven't had a chance to study it yet, but that was my first...

    Advice on Process Simulator using Split Ranged PLC Outputs

    Thanks Carl, The CMOS op-amp definitely sounds like more the way to go? I just tried playing around with the RC circuit schematic using LTspice, but I couldn't get more than a few milliseconds delay, no matter what values I tried. I was hoping for a decent lag and then a good...

    Advice on Process Simulator using Split Ranged PLC Outputs

    Eric, I thought I had just sent you a reply, but I don't see it up here. Did you get the one giving the details of the actual vessel size in the real process, and a question about an op-amp based circuit to simulate a large capacitance? Thanks...

    Advice on Process Simulator using Split Ranged PLC Outputs

    Hi Carl, Yes, I have been thinking about that. I haven't yet worked out exactly what size capacitors I would have to use, but I guess they would be pretty big? Unfortunately this control system is analogue, so a step change delay would just give that: a delayed step. The real...

    Advice on Process Simulator using Split Ranged PLC Outputs

    P.S. Just for further info; the PLC that this simulator circuit is to be connected to is a Wago, employing a 750-841 processor.

    Advice on Process Simulator using Split Ranged PLC Outputs

    Hi Eric, Yes, I do have the LTspice simulator. Thanks, Chris.

    Advice on Process Simulator using Split Ranged PLC Outputs

    Common Ground Hi Eric, Thank you very much for your reply. Yes, the two 0V do have a common return. as for the filtering, I am thinking that this may not be exactly what I want? The process this is to simulate could have a lag of up to 1 hr? If I use a resistor ahead of the...

    Advice on Process Simulator using Split Ranged PLC Outputs

    I have an application where I want to test a PLC programme. In the past, working with DCS systems, I have used process simulators that had been built by the companies I worked for. The principle is that an analogue output which would normally go to say a control valve, is filtered to simulate a...
