Has anyone used a Tension & Compression Load Cell with a F0-2AD2DA-2 Option Module on a 06 PLC? The situation I have is that the load cell is pre-loaded and providing a negative voltage and as the system applies the load the output of the load cell changes from a negative value to zero then increases as a positive voltage value. What is the best way to handle these input values for the PLC? I’ve worked with compression load cell systems in the past but all of the input values were in the positive voltage modes. Any suggestions based on past experiences will be helpful.

    I know I probably should have waited until after the holidays to post the above request since it seems to have gotten buried with more recent request. Does anyone have any experience with the above situation?
