Input Scaling Example: 0 to 5VDC Sensor
Situation
A flow sensor connected to the controller measures the flow in a pipe. The sensor generates a 0 to
5VDC signal. Independent calibration measurements of the flow in the pipe indicate that the sensor
generates 0.5V at 3 gallons per minute (GPM) and 4.75V at 65 GPM. The calibration instrument is
accurate ±1 GPM.
Setup
For the
Disp format
parameter in the
Input
menu, choose
-999to 3000
, because the calibrating
instrument is precise to ±1 GPM.
Table 4.6 and Table 4.7 show the minimum and maximum input signals and their corresponding
process variables, and the resulting values for the scaling parameters.
