PV_SCALE
11
Conversion of the Process Variable into percent using the high
and low scale values. The engineering unit of PV_SCALE high
and low scale values are directly related to the PV_UNIT of the
configured Transducer Block (configured via Channel
parameter). The PV_SCALE high and low scale values follow
the changes of the PV_UNIT of the related Transducer Block
automatically, i.e. a change of the Transducer Block PV_Unit
causes no bump at OUT from AI.
