Note: The internal accuracy of valve is for all positions 100’000 steps and for all pressures 1’000’000 steps. If the range of pressure and position values is rising, the accuracy of pressure and position will not rise. There is only the gain factor between the VAT valve and the EtherCAT Master which will be adapted. Note: (upper scale value - lower scale value) Note: If at startup the scale values in the memory are out of range or the rule above is broken the default values are taken.
