Analog inputs and analog outputs

Greetings of the day,

I need to understand analog inputs and outputs

Consider an example,

I have 2 power sources of 230v while one is active the other should be off and vice versa

what are the possible solutions can be made using a PLC with analog inputs and outputs

Best regards

Amal

Usually analog I/O need 24V DC power. If you PLC has internal 230VAC~24VDC converter. Then your question will be how to make 230VDC redundant. Nomally 2 different 230AC income power cannot be connected together. While some UPS support parrelling configuration.
If you PLC don't have internal converter. You can arrange 2 230VAC~24VDC supply and a power voting unit or diode to balance the 24V power come from different 24V power module.

Sir,
I think you have completely misunderstood my scenario

If I have 2 signals of 230v AC supply to a device. the first one is the primary supply and the second one is secondary if in case of first supply is not getting I need to provide the secondary supply to the device.

I need the solution how could I do it using a PLC program

Using a Voltage or Current transmitter?

Why using a PLC? If you don’t mind the switching time. A relay will simple work out with A1 A2 monitoring the primary Power source, 14-L1, 12-L2, 24-N1, 22-N2, 11-DevL, 21-DevN. If you use analog I/o only, you certainly need a voltage transmitter. If you have DI, you can use a voltage relay for that. Usually for auto switching we use voltage monitoring relay’s NC contact to make the logic.

It should be done in sharp time sir

Also, there is something more to do with a PLC than this

I will share my ideas

I can use a voltage or current transmitted for a 230v ca supply and will get to know the value of the analog.
I can do the programming for that my real trouble is how will I control the other one. I'm thinking that taking it as an Output and do the programming. How do I configure the output for it?

That's my real trouble sir hope you can help me out

thanks in advance

Hi. I don’t know what your device is. If you want no switching time, special power equipment is needed. That’s why AC-DC-AC device is invented to make the power steady. Usually the logic of AC power switching is you find Bus A lost and you open Bus A inlet Breaker and close Bus B inlet breaker. What the PLC control is breaker not voltage.
