Function description

Analog value output

The analog value output is from the analog value input rIn_X calculated depending on the linear characteristic defined by the two points P1(rX1/rY1) and P2(rX2/rY2). In case of a conversion error ( xErr = TRUE ) the analog value output remains unchanged.\

Formula

rOut_Y = (((rX1-rIn_X)*(rY2-rY1))/(rX1-rX2))+rY1\

Limitations

The analog value output is of data type REAL. By an unsuitable selection of the parameters rX1, rX2, rY1 and rY2 as well as of the value of the analog value input rIn_X it can lead to exceeding the bounds of the data type.\

Enable / disable limits xMinMaxLimit

The limits of the analog value output can generally be enabled and disabled with this input.\

xMinMaxLimit	Limits	Notes
FALSE	none	Analog value output without absolute limits
TRUE	Y_min and Y_max	Limit of the analog value output active

Values of the limits iMinMaxOffset

The limits of the analog value output are only active if the input xMinMaxLimit is active ( = TRUE ). The limit values Y_min and Y_max are then calculated as follows:\

Formulas

Y_min = rY1 - ((ABS(rY2-rY1))*iMinMaxOffset)/100 Y_max = rY2 + ((ABS(rY2-rY1))*iMinMaxOffset)/100\

rY1	rY2	rY2 - rY1	iMinMaxOffset	Y_min	Y_max	Notes
0	100	100	0	0	100	Default limits
0	100	100	10	-10	110	Positive offset
0	100	100	-10	10	90	Negative offset

Digital output xErr

The digital output xErr signals an error in the conversion process. The following errors are taken into account: \

• rX1 AND rX2 = 0

• rX1 = rX2

• rY1 AND rY2 = 0

• rY1 = rY2

Error in the conversion process	xErr	Notes
FALSE	FALSE	Conversion error-free
TRUE	TRUE	Error in the conversion process
