I’m using a T3-BB, and need to control a SSR that use 3-32V DC as input. However analog output only send 0-10V. Is there a way to control my SSR properly with a T3-BB?
Thank you
The AO produces 10V at 100%. This should be enough to drive the SSR since you say it needs between 3v and 32V input to operate.
I suggest you try it - wire up the AO to the SSR, observing correct polarity. Put a load on the SSR (eg a lamp) to make operation obvious, then manually change the AO output from 0 to 100%.
Ok will give it a try, but I suppose that if my output is 5-220VAC, using only 0-10VDC will cover only a part of the potential SSR output range.
Thank
You seem to misunderstand how a SSR works - it is similar to an electromechanical relay.
The input (“coil”) side requires low voltage DC - you say anything between 3 and 32V. So the 10V from the AO will be enough to turn it on.
The output side of the SSR is what you might connect 220Vac to - it depends on what the SSR is rated for.
Sorry you are totally right, I misread the SSR as if it was a “variable” output instead of a range of supported output.
Thank you for the information, it doesn’t help me achieve my goal, but at least it clarify a lot about the SSR.
