Use of LVDT for closed loop feedback versus rotary Encoder

[opburg89]

Good afternoon,
Is there any information for using an LVDT transducer with a 4-20mA analog output signal instead of a standard rotary style encoder for the closed-loop feedback
for a single Axis setup configured within Do-more? It appears if I'm reading correctly that you need to use a standard pulsed rotary encoder for the position/velocity feedback input?
The application we are using it on has a Hydraulic cylinder with an integrated 4-20mA LVDT transducer analog feedback and the cylinder is being controlled by a +/-10vdc
hydraulic proportional valve. Thanks in advance!

You're correct that our Axis implementation is directed toward motor control, so pulse inputs and pulse outputs are the expected I/O.

Your inputs and outputs are 4-20mA and +/-10VDC, which is more attuned to standard PID loop control.
