Suppose that you connected a thermocouple to an input module that
measures Celsius temperature. A block transfer read transfers the
temperature into the processor’s data table.
For your ease, you would like to convert the recorded Celsius temperature
in the data table to Fahrenheit values for display. This temperature must
maintain certain range values for your application. You would like to:
monitor the temperature from 87 to 100
o
C
count the times the value falls below 190
o
F
count the times the values stay at 212
o
F
Formula:
o
F = (9/5) x
o
(C) + 32
In this example, the value read into the data table at address 200 is 100
o
C .
