Abstract

Frequency signal is gotten from voltage signal by external V/F converter, and then is sent to high-speed counter of PLC. As a host, CPU222 of Siemens S7-200 series PLC is used. Through programming PLC, input voltage is measured by high-speed I/O channels. High-speed digital pulse of variable duty cycle produced by PLCpsilas PWM pulse generator is turned into voltage signal of amplitude-adjustable after external RC low-pass filter circuit filter to achieve controlling of output analog. The method reduces the cost of measurement and control system via replacing expensive analog I/O modules. Peripheral circuit design and PLC program are given. Through analyzing and comparing data, it is found that the system can achieve plusmn 0.1% accuracy.
