I am trying to view the signal from my DL340 with an F3-16AD at slot 0. I have 4 - 20 mA signals that are going into registers as DOUT R400 etc. I do not understand what format the data is being displayed at, so when I try to show it on an EZ-touch panel, the numbers do not make sense to me. At the moment I have a tag in EZ-touch called T1 that references register R400 that's receiving a 4-20 mA signal, and when I use a numerical disply with that tag, having the data type as octal with 6 digits displayed, ez-touch won't allow me to input a scale range of 819 - 4095 that the FD-16AD says I will need to use (the EZ touch program tells me it's not within range). If I use a plc scale of 0 to 4077 in EZTouch (this is the maximum it allows me to input) the reading on the EZ Touch screen fluctuates, but is around 012511. I know that the analog reading at this register is approximately 13mA. Can someone explain to me what I need to do to be able to translate this value into the proper engineering units (mA would be find for now since if I get that far, I do know how to configure it to read the temperature scale of the sensor). Thanks in advance for your help.
