Dear
We are working in AB Studio 5000 and the drive is a PowerFlex 755T. For this project I need to control a conveyor to a certain set point. This set point is entered on a panel with the unit Feet/Minute (FPM). The drive can be controlled in RPM (0-1500 rpm) or in Hz (0 - 60Hz). The formula to convert FPM to RPM is RPM=(FPM∗12)/(π∗Diameter). To read the feedback from the drive, I need to convert the RPM to FPM to visualize on the panel (FPM= RPM* Diameter * π). Is there an easier way to do this or am I required to work with these formulas?
I hope someone can help me further.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Frederik
