Hi everyone,
I work for a power transmission company that has become more focused on electronically controlled components over the years. The one in question is a torque limiter which has an electromagnetic coil in - the more you increase/decrease the current, the torque is altered proportionally.
A customer has asked me how they would vary this... we have controllers but not for our 24v range (no idea why?). The controller for our 96v range says it adjusts the current.
What would be a suitable option for them to control it? I thought about PWM but I don't know how that would work with coils that are safety critical. Is there a way to vary current from a 24v supply? Maybe something a PLC could offer?
Hope someone can help. Thank you.
