Appendix 1

I/O Conversion Characteristics

An I/O conversion characteristic of D/A conversion is expressed by the slope of the straight line connecting the offset value 
and the gain value at the time when a digital value written from the CPU module is converted to an analog output value 
(voltage or current).

Offset value

This analog output value (voltage or current) corresponds to a digital value of 0 that is set through the CPU module.

Gain value

This analog output value (voltage or current) corresponds to a digital value of 32000 that is set through the CPU module.
