6000/200 = 30 That scales the analog value to the value you want.thank
why divide by +30?
4-20mayou need to confirm what analogue you are using mA or V.
Also you are right Mendonsy
but I recomend you work out the calculations in fractions
as you said the smaller PLC's dont have much to offer.
so by simplifing to a fraction you can work around the Over Flow issue.
6000/200 = 60/2 = 30/1
I know thaat is the same but some equations will come down to
5/8 or 8/5
the PLC maths is easier
Wonderful! Someone else who understands the APR function - I did not think there was anyone else around that did. Have searched for it ion other brands of PLC and never found it. Another of my very favourite functions is BCNT - bit count - great for alarm routines. Hard to find in other PLCs too.
Please show an example.The CP1E also supports the APR function which is very good for scaling once you get your head around it.
This is a lot simpler that writing code to scale your inputs and then applying an offset, especially if you are converting from integers to real values (floating point) and back again...
