I'm using the PID toolkit to control the level of water in a tank. I have a FP-AIO-600 to read voltage from a pressure transducer (process variable; 0-5V), which is then sent through the PID loop. However, the AIO-600 only outputs current, which is the signal that's sent to the water inlet and drain valves (4-20 mA). This means that the output from the PID loop is in units of Volts, but this needs to be converted to Amps in order for it to control the valves. Can this be done using LabVIEW, or do I have to get a FP-AIO-610 that outputs voltage?
Thanks for the help!
