    I purchased a Power Supply Module DC10V~75V to 0~60V 12A 720W Buck Converter/Voltage regulator CNC Control Module. I want to use it in an anodizing process that is controlled by an Allen Bradley SLC 500 PLC. Is it possible to use the PLC to control the set point of the current control circuit and voltage control circuit?

    Hi Donovan Powell,
    Thanks for your writing in.
    Please confirm if it is this product. 200310
    It can work with PLC.
    Best regards.

    Yes that is the one I purchased.

    Is there a manual or a schematic that shows how it is done. Better yet is there a module that can replace the display/control module that allows for making connections to PLC?

    Hello Donovan Powell,
    We are sorry we don’t have manual about PLC.
    We only have one communication protocol, as follows:
    1, write commands
    (1) wu command (set the output voltage range of power supply 0000-6000)
    The format is: awuxxxx + 0x0d + 0x0a)
    “xxxx” is voltage set point, for example
    awu1234 indicates that the output voltage is set to 12.34V
    awu0123 indicates that the output voltage is set to 01.23V
    (2) wi command (set the output current range of power supply 0000-0800)
    The format is: awixxxx + 0x0d + 0x0a
    “xxxx” is the current set point, for example
    : awi0100 indicates the set output current value is 01.00A
    : awi0799 that set the output current is 07.99A
    (3) wo command (turn on or off power output)
    The format is: awox + 0x0d + 0x0a
    “x” represents the module output state, for example
    : awo1 said to turn on the output
    : awo0 means to close the output
    (4) wl command (turn on or off the lock function)
    The format is: wlx + 0x0d + 0x0a
    “x” indicates the module lock status, for example
    : awl1 means to turn on the lock function
    : awl0 means to turn off the lock function
    (5) wm command (call out parameters, 0-9 address bits)
    The format is: awmx + 0x0d + 0x0a
    “x” represents the address of the calling parameter, for example
    : awm0 is to call out the parameters of 0 address bits
    : awm9 is to call out the parameters of 9 address bits
