Calculating the gain and offset of analog values

A sensor is connected to the analog input and converts a

process variable into an electrical signal. This value of signal

lies within the typical range of this sensor.
IDEC SmartRelay always converts the electrical signals at

the analog input into digital values from 0 to 1000.
A voltage of 0 to 10 V at input AI is transformed internally into

a range of values from 0 to 1000. An input voltage exceeding

10 V is shown as internal value 1000.
Because you cannot always process the range of values

from 0 to 1000 as predetermined by IDEC SmartRelay, you

can multiply the digital values by a gain factor and then shift

the zero of the range of values (offset). This allows you to

output an analog value to the IDEC SmartRelay display,

which is proportional to the actual process variable.
