Calibration

Calibration 1:

Use of the term "calibration

The concept "calibration", which has historical roots at Beckhoff, is used here even if it has nothing to do with the deviation statements of a calibration certificate. Actually, this is a description of the vendor or customer calibration data/adjustment data used by the device during operation in order to maintain the assured measuring accuracy.

User scaling, index 0x8020:01 / 0x8030:01

The user scaling is enabled via index 0x8020:01 / 0x8030:01. Parameterization takes place via the indices.

Vendor calibration, index 0x802F / 0x803F

The vendor calibration is enabled via index 0x8020:0B / 0x8030:0B. Parameterization takes place via the indices.

User calibration, index 0x8020:17 / 0x8030:17, 0x8020:18 / 0x8030:18

The user calibration is enabled via index 0x8020:0B / 0x8030:0B. Parameterization takes place via the indices.

Process data calculation

The terminal records measured values continuously and places the raw values of its A/D converter into the ADC raw value object 0x802E:01 / 0x803E:01. The calculation of the correction with the vendor calibration values takes place after each acquisition of the analog signal. User scaling then follows (optionally):

YH = (XADC - BK) x AK

Measured value after vendor calibration (corresponds to YA if index 0x8020:0A / 0x8030:0A inactive)

Y = Y x A x 2 + B A H -16 W

Measured value after the user scaling
