Hey, I am using a AMI0810 analog input module in Control Expert. What value should I use for regular analog measurement from a sensor? (See the image below)
I was thinking about using .FCT_TYPE because it is of a type WORD, but I think I can also use .ANA.VALUE but that is of type INT.
It would also be good to get a description of alla of these opt ions that one channel offers.

The proper one to use the .value sub variable for the analog value which is scaled as a INT based on the channel configuration. I have created a DFB that will take the T_U_ANA_STD_CH_IN into a DFB and I then use the AALARM DFB from the General-Purpose Library to provide the alarming.
