Process Input Scaling
The module allows you to either pre-scale the process inputs via ladder logic for
use in the measurement calculations, or provide unscaled values from the analog
input modules directly. In the second case, the scaling is done internally. You can
directly enter the zero-scale, the full-scale, and the default values for each of the
process variable inputs through the configuration window.
Scaled Integer
Variable
Format
Example
Temperature
Two decimal places implied
A value of 1342 would be equivalent
to 13.42°C
Pressure
No decimal places implied for SI
units (kPa) and one decimal
place implied for U.S. units (psi).
A value of 200 would be equivalent to
200kPag
Differential Pressure
Two decimal places implied for
inches of H2O and 3 places for
kPa
A value of 35142 would be equivalent
to 35.142kPa
Density (kg/m3)
One implied decimal place
A value of 5137 would be equivalent
to 513.7 kg/m3
Density (Relative Density)
Four implied decimal places
A value of 10023 would be equivalent
to 1.0023 60F/60F.
Density (API)
Two implied decimal places
A value of 8045 would be equivalent
to 80.45
API.
In the Meter Monitor window, the raw value is shown at the "Last Raw" column
and the converted values are shown at the "Scaled Avg" column.
When selecting the 4 to 20mA process input scaling, the module uses the
following ranges:

The module uses the configured values for zero and full scale to interpret the
process input scaling.
