Analog Process Control

This document provides instructions on programming analog signals in a programmable logic controller (PLC). It discusses the key steps which are: 1) understanding the analog module specifications, 2) proper wiring of signals to the analog module, 3) addressing the analog point in the PLC, 4) configuring the analog module, 5) analog to digital conversion, and 6) scaling of measured data using a formula. Scaling measured data allows converting an analog input signal range, like 4-20 mA, to the corresponding values of what is being measured, like temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
