Hello,
I'm working with a 1747-NI4 analog input module (for the first time) on a SLC503 processor. I noticed in the IO configuration within RSlogix500 there isn't a way to enable/disable channels or configure them like with a 1747-NI8. After looking in the manual user manual 1746-UM005B-EN-P that I found online, I saw a reference in section 4-6 for 4-20mA with an integer representation of 3277 to 16384. I plan on using these values for min and max scaling values in a SCP instruction for a two-wire OMEGA temperature transmitter.
Two main questions:
Will this work just like I plan.
Could someone break this down and take me back to school on how these numbers are obtained? What if I didn't have this manual with this "cheat sheet," how do I figure out scaling values for other types of transmitters, like 0-20mA, 0-5V, etc.?
Thanks!
