Calculation of the output values

Calculation of the output values 1:

Term "calibration"

The term "calibration", which is rooted in history at Beckhoff, is used here for the calibration data, even if it has nothing to do with deviation statements of a calibration certificate. In fact, this describes the vendor or customer calibration/adjustment data that the device uses during operation in order to maintain the output accuracy.

The terminal continuously accepts the setpoints from the EtherCAT process data, converts them according to the settings and passes them on to the internal DAC (digital-analog converter), which forms the electrical output signal. See the block diagram.
