Greetings,
I am working on a project and I would like to scale %AI to -10.0 to 10.0 VDC. The module Input data is stored as a 16 bit Integer and cannot be configured to store a REAL. What I'm trying to discover is a way to use module scaling parameters in the hardware configuration of an analog module with the setup of AI_INT blocks. Below is some info on my setup:
If there is a better way to do this, any advice is welcome. But either way, it may be nice to know in case I find future use for this.
I have looked through many of the GFK manuals and all I can find is diagnostic data and module status data. Neither of which contain the parameters of interest. That said, if there is a manual I may be looking over which would help, please feel free to post a reply.
Thanks in advance
I am working on a project and I would like to scale %AI to -10.0 to 10.0 VDC. The module Input data is stored as a 16 bit Integer and cannot be configured to store a REAL. What I'm trying to discover is a way to use module scaling parameters in the hardware configuration of an analog module with the setup of AI_INT blocks. Below is some info on my setup:
Project Scope: Brown Field, software modifications only (no hardware for RX3i)
Proficy: V9.5 Build 7677
CPU: IC695CPE305
CPU firmware: 10.05
AI Module: IC695ALG616
I would like to know if there is a way to access an analog input module's configuration parameters. For example, assuming IC695ALG616_Rack1Slot2 is the name of the memory space in the CPE which stores the hardware configuration data for the module of interest, I want to do the following:// pseudo code
// moves module parameter for high scale of engineering units to high scale for the RAW input to AI_INT
MOVE(IN := IC695ALG616_Rack1Slot2.Channel3.HighScaleEngUnits, OUT => AI_INT_Channel3.SL[3]);
//do the same for the low value scaling of RAW
// end pseudo code
Are the hardware configuration module parameters, like IC695ALG616_Rack1Slot2.Channel3.HighScaleEngUnits, available in the program? If so, please explain any setup, configuration, etc which needs to be done to make them available. Also, please explain where this may be stored.If there is a better way to do this, any advice is welcome. But either way, it may be nice to know in case I find future use for this.
