Calculating the scaling value
The scale value conversion is based on the following formula. (In scale conversion, values are rounded off to the nearest
whole number.)
The calculation formula for a scaling value varies depending on the input type/range.
Input type/Range
• Current (0 to 20 mA, 4 to 20 mA)
• Voltage (0 to 10 V, 0 to 5 V, 1 to 5 V)
• Current (-20 to +20 mA)
• Voltage ( -10 to +10 V)
• Resistance temperature detector
• Thermocouple
Setting procedure
1.
Set "Scaling enable/disable setting" to "Enable".
[Navigation window] [Parameter] [Module Information] Module model name [Module Parameter]
[Application setting] [Scaling function]
2.
Set values for "Scaling upper limit value" and "Scaling lower limit value".
Item
Scaling upper limit value
Scaling lower limit value
• Even when the scaling upper limit value and the scaling lower limit value are set so that the change is
greater than the resolution, the resolution will not increase.
• If the relation between the values is the scaling lower limit value > the scaling upper limit value, the scale
conversion can be performed according to a negative slope.
• Set the scaling with the condition "Scaling upper limit value Scaling lower limit value".
