Productivity 2000 Series PLC - Automation Direct - Productivity Analog Input Scaling

The productivity suite software has two different instructions for scaling analog values. In our example of a tank, we will use Scale Linear to find the height of the liquid in the tank. Our 13-bit resolution is 1FFF hexadecimal which equals 8191 decimal. The input signal is 4 to 20 ma, so our raw input will be 1638 to 8191. This will represent 0 to 200 inches in our tank. Calculating the volume will not be a straight line. We will use the non-linear scale instruction to calculate the tank gallons based on the signal height. You can scale your non-linear output with up to 16 break points. As the analog signal is changed, the corresponding result is displayed. In this example, we are using resistors to create the 4-20ma input signal to the PLC. Here is a video showing how this was done. https://youtube.com/shorts/DlboRc_Q9N0 Programming and examples of the Productivity series can be found at this URL: https://accautomation.ca/series/productivity-1000-plc/ https://accautomation.ca/series/productivity-2000-series-plc-p2000/ Productivity offers three distinct form factors, with two being rack-based and one being stackable. The productivity suite software provides versatile programming with tag name addressing that has no predefined memory structure and offers convenient device integration for easy plug-and-play operation with our PS-AMC motion controllers, GS drives, Protos X field I/O, and StrideLinx VPNs. Each series offers different I/O capacities, but all use the same programming software, allowing you to quickly scale your control up or down depending on the application or machine build. A few of the Features: - Tag name-based programming with 50MB user memory - Numerous built-in communication options, including Ethernet, serial, USB, remote, and local expansion - Web server and mobile access - OLED/LCD module data displays (P2000/P3000) - Integrated motion controller, GS drive, StrideLinx VPN, and Protos X field I/O support - External microSD data logging - Scalable platforms from 128 to over 59K I/O points with analog, discrete, pulse width modulation, and high-speed options - ABS certified for marine applications (P2000/P3000) - Project simulator - Easy-to-use coordinated motion control with the PS-AMC motion controllers and built-in motion instructions General information on the Productivity PAC series of controllers: https://www.automationdirect.com/adc/overview/catalog/programmable_controllers/productivity_series_controllers PLC (PAC) Selector and Configuration: https://www.automationdirect.com/systembuilder #shorts ACC Automation https://accautomation.ca/
