INPUT CONVERSION FACTOR
The following table describes how real-world inputs are scaled into the controller. Given a known input
voltage, the data value is configured by using the conversion factor from the table. The following formula
is used:
Data = Voltage In (Vin) / Conversion Factor
Example:
The user selects avoltage range of 0 to +5 VDC:
1) The known input voltage is 3 VDC.
2) Using the table, the conversion factor for the voltage range of 0 to +5 VDC is 0.00015625.
3) To determine the data value, the formula is used:
Data = Vin / Conversion Factor
19200 = 3 VDC / 0.00015625
