No, you can change the value of any memory location in program mode. Of couse, the actual PLC value will not change until the next time you download the program.
I am confused again. Your comment on Rung 2 indicates that you have 8 voltage input channels. I thought that your module only had 4 channels. Do you have two 4-channel modules, or one 8-channel module, or is the comment incorrect, or what?
EDIT: Never mind, back on Page 1, I see it is an 8-channel module. So your OAT does have a place to read a temperature from, directly. However, since this is a voltage reading, it probably does need scaling to get the correct value. That depends on what sensor is on the other end, and what its min/max values are, and so on.
