Conversion data points

  Point 1 Point 2
Input in counts (0 - 1000)
    Enter the counts (V × 100) for the first calibration point. e.g., For a reading of 1.2 V enter 120.
    Enter the counts (V × 100) for the second calibration point. e.g., For a reading of 8.9 V enter 890.
Process value
    Enter the process value for the first calibration point. See the tip on Point 2 process value in the next column.
   Enter the process value for Point 2. For best accuracy multiply by 10 or 100 while keeping ≤ 1000.
Engineering units (mm, bar, PSI, °C, °F, etc.)
    This has no effect on the calculations. It is information only.
Decimal places in message text
    This affects how the analog integer value is displayed in Message Text displays. The decimal point is insert this many places from the right.
Value displayed by LOGO!  
    This is how the amplified Point 1 value will appear in Message Text when modified by the decimal places setting.
 
    This is how the amplified Point 2 value will appear in Message Text when modified by the decimal places setting.
Displayed value resolution (step height)  
    This is the vertical step size in the chart.

Recommended analog amplifier settings

Ideal settings
    These are the ideal settings based on the data you entered.
LOGO! settings
    These are the calculated settings (given the firmware mathematical contstraints) to be entered in the LOGO! analog amplifier function block.
Gain
    This is the ideal gain setting based on your calibration points.
   This is the calculated gain setting rounded down to two decimal places. (The LOGO! can only accept -10.00 to +10.00.)
+0.01
   The LOGO! analog amplifier rounds down. You might get a reduced maximum error by adding 0.01 to the gain setting. (This affects the slope of the red line slightly.) You can see the effect with this checkbox.
Offset
   This is the ideal offset setting based on your calibration points.
   This is the ideal offset rounded down to an integer value. (The LOGO! can only accept -10000 to +10000.)
± offset
   If required you can try shifting the red line up or down by introducing an offset. This may give you a result closer to the ideal.
