Allen Bradley plc analog scaling

SCL INSTRUCTION


FOR ANALOG INPUT:-

In case of Micrologix -1000 A for current signal (4 to 20 mA),

Max Value for i/p = 31230 (Approx.)

So min value at 4 mA = 31230*4/20 = 6246 (Approx.)

Let the range of RTD is 0 to 400 degree C.

To calculate the value of rate & offset please use following formula.

1). Rate = (scaled max. - scaled min.) * 10000 / (input max. - input min.)
           
               = (400 – 0) * 10000 / (31230-6246)

     Rate = 160

2). Offset = scaled minimum - (input minimum x rate)

                 = 0 – (6246 * .0160)
      Offset = -100








FOR ANALOG OUTPUT

In case of Micrologix -1000 A for current signal (4 to 20 mA),

To use the AI double click on I/O Configuration & then I/O Setup.
Select the o/p mode (may be current or voltage, which you want to use).

If you want to provide 0 to 10 V signal on o/p then the value at O:0.4 should be 0 to 31230 (Approx.).
