Analog Output Conversions


Analog J and S l data field

l - {[(DesiredD - Z) / (F - Z)] * 4095} Convert to 3 hex digits

Where:
l is the 3 hex digit value to be entered into the instruction

DesiredD is the actual value desired in decimal based on the module units. For example, if you want a module to read 2.5 Volts, then DesiredD = 2.5.

F is the full scale value of the module and Z is the zero scale of the module. These are shown for the standard modules in the table below.

Example: 3.6 Volts output by an OV10 Module
l = [(3.6 - 0) / (10 - 0)] * 4095
= 0.36 * 4095
= 1474.2
= 5C2H is the value entered in the l data field


Analog K l data field

ResponseD = [(l / 4095) * (F - Z) + Z]

Where:
Response is actual value read by the input in engineering units.

l is the 3 digit hex value converted to decimal.

F is the full scale value of the module, and Z is the zero scale of the module. These are shown for the standard modules in the table below.

Example: 78FH is returned from an OI420 Module
78FH = 1935D
ResponseD = (1935 / 4095) * (20 - 4) + 4
= 0.473 * 16 + 4
= 7.56 + 4
= 11.56 mA


Analog V  p and q data field

p or q = [(DesiredD - Z) / (F - Z)] * 4095 Convert to 3 hex digits

Where:
p or q is the 3 hex digit value entered into the instruction.

DesiredD is the amplitude desired in engineering units.

F is the full scale value of the module and Z is the zero scale of the module. These are shown for the standard modules in the table below.

Example: 18mA is the desired maximum amplitude and 7 is the desired minimum amplitude for an OI420 (4-20mA) Module
p = [(18 - 4) / (20 - 4)] * 4095
= {14 / 16} * 4095
= 0.875 * 4095
= 3583.125 = DFFH
q = [(7 - 4) / (20 - 4)] * 4095
= [3 / 16] * 4095
= 0.1875 * 4095
= 767.81 = 2FFH
