Page 34: Formulas And Arithmetical Variables
7.3.5 Formulas and Arithmetical Variables A formula can be defined for every channel of a group and device, which either directly translates the recorded value or sets a switching condition for an output. The same scheme can be used in order to express a formula in arithmetic variables. Arithmetical Variables are used for calculating and linking of values. - Page 35 The input value for °C is the sensor value, which is available in “v1”. The complete formula to be entered therefore reads as: v1*1.8+32 Meier-NT GmbH · Rittergutsweg 5 · 08297 Zwönitz · Tel. 037754 304 0 Director Dipl.
