Im using an OMRON CQM1 PLC. Im using an analog probe to measure products and if they are to small or to large they must be rejected. For this a scaling (fun(66)) function is needed but how does scaling work?? What does it do??
 
You do not have to use the scaling function if you wish. Scaling is normally used so that SCADA systems and screens can read straight BCD numbers out of the PLC or you can scale amps for example and do not have to work out what the value is from the hex value.

If your analogue card uses 0-4000 for full range, you can compare at 1000 for example and then use a less than flag to indicate below 25% input. This can be your alarm without scaling.

Chaeck the manual for the numerical range of the input card and go from there.
