Appendix 4
The I/O conversion characteristics of D/A conversion are expressed by the slope of the straight line connecting the offset
value and the gain value, both of which are used when a digital value written from the CPU module is converted to the
corresponding analog output value (voltage or current).
Offset value
An analog output value (voltage or current) corresponding to the digital value 0 under the condition that the scaling function
and the shift function are not used.
Gain value
An analog output value (voltage or current) corresponding to the following digital value under the condition that the scaling
function and the shift function are not used.
• 12000 (When the output range is set to 0 to 5V, 1 to 5V, 0 to 20mA, 4 to 20mA)
• 16000 (When the output range is set to -10 to 10V)
