Hi,
Recently we fixed a problem with the readback from an Allen Bradley
IXE used as a millivolt module. What we have seen is that the linear
conversion for the device type "AB-1771IXE-Millivolt In" is
bypassed in devAllenBradley.c. RVAL is returned as VAL even if linear
conversion is selected in the database.
Without further information about how to use the RVAL value,
I used a volt-meter to measured the voltage applied to the AB1771-IXE,
and then compared the measurement with RVAL. It turns out that
the voltage reading in millivolt is RVAL divided by 100.
Note: one cannot distinguish a negative voltage reading from a positive
one only using RVAL.
Here is the measurement,
Raw voltage measured VAL(or RVAL) from an
by a volt-meter (mV) AB1771-IXE used
a millivolt module
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
8.5 858
47.2 4722
82.2 8207
-8.5 858
-47.2 4713
-82.2 8193
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Could someone confirm this observation, or correct me if it is wrong ?
Thanks in advance !
