Scaling Function

This function performs the scale conversion on digital output values. The values are converted within a specified range
between a scaling upper limit value and scaling lower limit value. This function helps reduce the time taken for creating a scale
conversion program.
The converted values are stored in 'CH1 Digital operation value' (Un\G402).
Concept of scaling setting
Ex.
When the input range is set to -10 to 10V:
For the scaling lower limit value, set a value corresponding to the lower limit value of the input range (-32000).
For the scaling upper limit value, set a value corresponding to the upper limit value of the input range (32000).
Calculating the scaling value
The scale conversion is based on the following formula. (In scale conversion, values are rounded to the nearest whole
number.)
Current: 0 to 20mA, 4 to 20mA, 4 to 20mA (extended mode)
Voltage: 0 to 10V, 0 to 5V, 1 to 5V, 1 to 5V (extended mode)

*1 Although the range of the digital output value in the extended mode is -8000 to 36000, this function performs the scale conversion for
digital output values within the range of 0 to 32000.
When the calculated digital operation value exceeds 32767, the value 32767 is stored as the digital operation
value. When the calculated digital operation value is falls below -32768, the value -32768 is stored.
Setting procedure
1.
Set "Scaling enable/disable setting" to "Enable".

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".
