Click / Click PLUS PLC Analog Scaling

CLICK PLC analog modules are available in 12, 13, or 16-bit resolution current, voltage, and temperature models. These support a wide range of signals. 12-Bit resolution refers to the binary bits for the input reference. If we look at the windows programming calculator and enter the binary value of the 12 bits, we will get a decimal value of 4095. This analog value of voltage, current, or temperature is converted into this many equal segments. The Click PLC has a linear scaling feature built in so that you can quickly convert your analog signal to engineering units or a percentage. Using the analog signal generator, you can see that our 0 to 5 VDC signal is converted to 0 to 100.0 percent. Our ladder logic program will use the compare instruction to activate outputs based on this linearly scaled signal.

Click PLUS PLC Configuration: https://www.automationdirect.com/clickplcs/config/clickplusconfig Click PLC Configuration: https://www.automationdirect.com/clickplcs/config We are using the Click and Click PLUS PLCs for several reasons. Here are just a few. - Investment is low for the hardware, and the software is free - Standalone PLC with built-in I/O - Communication ability - Ethernet Port, RS232, RS485 - support for protocols such as Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, etc. - Ability to expand the system with various modules, including RTD and Thermocouple inputs. #shorts ACC Automation https://accautomation.ca/
