Calibrating Process Values
Manufacturer calibration serves to compensate for tolerances in electrical
components of the I/O module. User calibration allows you to compensate for the
tolerances of electrical components of both the I/O module and connected
devices and to take into account factors such as component age and different
ambient temperatures at the installation site.
User calibration by channel required!
Perform the calibration for each channel individually to achieve the greatest
possible measurement accuracy for each channel.
The following signal types are specified:

The variables in the following equations have the following meaning:
Table 32: Variable Legend

Variable
Explanation
m
Calibration gain (gain factor)
b
Calibration offset (offset)
x1
Expected output voltage 1
x2
Expected output voltage 2
y1
Process value 1
y2
Process value 2
The “Gain” and “Offset” values are required to perform user calibration. The
calibration gain is the factor by which the process value is amplified. The
calibration offset is the offset of the process value on the y axis.
The following general calibration equation applies:
y = (x + b) × m
The general calibration equation yields the following two equations for calculating
the two values sought:
Calibration gain: m = (y2
– y1) / (x2 – x1)
Calibration offset: b = y1
– (m × x1)
