1.1.2 Digital to Analog Converter
The X-317 accepts output settings in familiar engineering units such as V, M, Ft, KPH, %. Internally
the X-317 automatically scales the output settings before setting the digital to analog converter. This
allows the user to control the output device using familiar and descriptive engineering units.
The internal calculations are made with a linear slope and offset equation (Y=mX+b). With the
default settings, the input and output have a 1 to 1 relationship. For example, with the default
settings, setting the output to 2.0 will result in the analog output being 2.0Volts. When the X-317 is
controlled via ModBus/TCP from a PLC or other device it may be convenient to leave the default
settings undisturbed so that no data scaling is done in the X-317 and any math or other calculations
are done in the PLC or controlling device.
If you wish the X-317 to scale and process the output settings, you can access the
Analog Outputs
tab in the
Setup
menu to change the output settings. For example, you may wish to control a
damper motor and have the display and settings with values of 0 to 100%. When properly
configured, the X-317 will scale a setting of 0% to generate a 4.0mA output, and a setting of 100% to
generate a 20.0mA output.
