3.13.2.3 Input linear scaling
Each RTD/mA input can be scaled linearly by the construction of a linear output
function in respect to the input. The curve consists of two points, where the y-axis
(
Input minimum
 and 
Input maximum
) defines the input range and the x-axis (
Value
minimum
 and 
Value maximum
) is the range of the scaled value of the input.
The input scaling can be bypassed by selecting 
Value unit
 = "Ohm" when
Input mode
 = "Resistance" is used and by selecting 
Value unit
 = "Ampere"
when 
Input mode
 = "0...20 mA" is used.
Example for linear scaling
Milliampere input is used as tap changer position information. The sensor
information is from 4 mA to 20 mA that is equivalent to the tap changer
position from -36 to 36, respectively.

3.13.2.4 Measurement chain supervision
Each input contains a functionality to monitor the input measurement chain. The
circuitry monitors the RTD channels continuously and reports a circuitry break
of any enabled input channel. If the measured input value is outside the limits,
minimum/maximum value is shown in the corresponding output. The quality of the
corresponding output is set accordingly to indicate misbehavior in the RTD/mA
input.
