I am testing out using a RTD signal conditioner connected to an 06 with F0-04AD-1 input card. I seem to be having trouble getting the 0-4095 value to correspond to a -329 - 1562F temperature range. I have been using the RTD card for many years. every now and then I run into an issue with noise from a freq drive. Does anyone have some example code on how to get the conversion done. I have been trying to follow the example in the manual, but just can't seem to get the numbers right. Thank you.

    Here is an example for the DL205 . It should work just fine for the DL06 if you change the PLC type.
