Option 3.2.2. Linear Conversion

Linear conversion specifies the base and converted values that are calculated during runtime.

Linear conversion configuration.

Linear conversion formula.

Linear conversion configuration

  1. Check Linear in the Device conversion box.

  2. Enter values as follows.

A

Raw values

Low

Two valid raw values.

 

 

High

B

Converted values

Low

Engineering unit values that correspond to the low and high raw values.

 

 

High

Linear conversion formula

These four values calculate the linear conversion for the point.

The conversion formula is:

Where

EU value

=

the Engineering Units value

RL

=

Low raw value

RH

=

High raw value

CL

=

Low conversion value

CH

=

High conversion value

Raw value

=

the value read from the device.

The inverse of this expression converts set point values that are entered by users to raw values. The raw values can be downloaded to the device.
