Ok...and we are back!!! So I just received my analog module, and made the following connections between the SC and the Analog Input Module: +24VDC on the "+" Terminal of the SC, connected a wire to the "-" Terminal of the SC and the other end is connected to the CI-0 Terminal of the Analog Module, and 0VDC to the Com0 of the Analog Module.
After making all these connections and and assigning this new Analog Input Module to the PLC, I selected to Enable CH0 of the Analog Module with Engineering Units as the data format. Then transferred all this to the PLC, after going online with the PLC the data from the SC is showing as 6185. When I took a temp reading of the tank, which where my TC is located, the temp from the probe was 67 deg F. So now comes the next step(s) of scaling this value of 6185 to match my actual tank temp of 67 deg F.
As was previously posted here, there is a Scaler instruction for the Micro850. As such I do not know what values I need to assign to each of the items listed on the Scaler with the exception of the first Input which will be the actual Analog value from the SC. I do not know what I need to have for the Minimum or Maximum value inputs, or what values I need to have for the Outputs. I do know that my tank temp will never be higher than 300 deg F, the low side of the tank temp may vary due to outside temps. Meaning that when this machine does not have the heaters heating the tank, the tank temp will then be dependent on outside temps. Thus the colder outside it is, the cooler the tank temp will be, so I am not sure how cool the tank tamp will reach when not running but I suspect it will be cooler than 67 deg F.
So now I will need any and all assistance with scaling these values to display the correct tank temps please! Thanks
