SDM-CVO4 4-Channel Current/Voltage Output Module
; As we have four channels to output, we will first copy the
; current readings with P54, block move, in a block of four
; input locations to hold the scaled outputs

; Then apply the scaling with one Instruction P53
; The readings are scaled -5000 to +5000, i.e. to
; cover the full scale range which would equate to
; 0 - 10,000 mV in voltage mode or 0-20 mA in
; current mode.
; Windspeed to cover the range 0-100 m/s
; Wind direction to cover 0-360 degrees
; Temperature -25 to +50 degrees C
; Radiation 0 - 1000 m^2/s

6.5.2 Restricted Range Current Output Modes (4-20 mA)
When driving a system that requires a restricted current range then the full-
scale range is reduced accordingly. In the case of 4-20 mA devices the
maximum range is 8000 units and the minimum value should be scaled to
-3000 and prevented from going below this level.
The following partial program could be used in place of the last two
instructions in the example above.
