Heres one for you automation gurus.

I'm looking to control the speed of a rotary feeder or conveyor that feeds a hammer mill on a farm. In order to achieve maximum efficiency the feeder needs to be regulated via the load of the hammer mill. The 55Kw motor on the hammer will be started using a soft start unit.

I think I can do this using the PID function on an VFD, can I just link the output of an ammeter 0-20mA to the analog input of the VFD?

I was looking at ammeter made buy trumeter. Digital Panel Amp Meter - Ammeter | Trumeter Advanced Panel Meter - https://trumeter.com/apm/products/ammeter/

Surley it’s not that simple?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
