Variable Output Assistance

Post by gobblerboats » Thu Aug 20, 2015 1:27 pm

Hello,
I wonder if you can help with an issue i'm stuck on. Currently I have a pwm output that toggles from Off to 100% from a PV780 but what I need to do from a settings page is alter the pwm output % using a text gauge which adjusts by the means of an up or down button in 10% increments between 30% and 70%. Once the value is set and you're back on the user page it needs to toggle between Off and the set value. Preferably setting the value without a display reboot.

Perhaps you could advise whether this is possible and if it is create an example for this or describe the best method of going about it.

Many thanks for your help,

Simon

Hello gobblerboats,

I am sending an example as requested. The warnings are:
  • I have not verified that the output is accurate. You will need to adjust the frequency output range used in the calculations. I just used numbers to make the math easy for me. (Nope, I do not claim to be a math wizard.)

    This is an example and you will need to make changes so that it will work for your system.
The example does show how to change the frequency output, convert the frequency output to a percentage, save a variable through a power cycle, change page views, no rebooting is required.

Good luck and I hope this helps a little. :)

Hi Stalley,
Thanks very much for this, I will look at the example over the weekend and get back to you if I have any further questions.

Kind regards,
