RANGE( AI1, Min 10, Max 200) 
 
For analogue input AI1 the function defines the minimum limit as 10 and 
the  maximum  limit  as  200.  In  case  that  analogue  input  AI1  would  be 
connected to a potentiometer to fix a preset time (PT) of a  timer with time-
base  100ms,  the  result  would  be  a  variable  time  between  1.0  and  20.0 
seconds, according to the position of potentiometer.   
 
Concerning analogue outputs AQ, minimum and maximum value allow to 
rate the effective tension value of output  0÷10V. Below an example:  
 
RANGE( AQ1, Min -200, Max 500) 
 
For  analogue  output  AQ1  the  minimum  limit  is  fixed  as  –200  and  the 
maximum limit  is fixed as 500. This means that setting numeric  value of 
output  as  –200,  the  output  AQ1  will  be  0  Volt  while  setting  the  numeric 
value as 500 the output AQ1 will be 10Volt. In case that entered value are 
not included in the interval specified by function RANGE, the output is kept 
within  minimum  and  maximum  values.    For  intermediate  values,  output 
tension is rated according to following formula: 
 
Output(volt) = ((Value – Min) * 10) / (Max – Min) 
 
Maximum resolution for output AQ1 and AQ2 is 8 bit. 
 
Concerning PID outputs, minimum and maximum values allow to rate the 
value for the output of PID control algorithm.  Below an example: 
 
RANGE( PID1, Min 100, Max 500 ) 
 
For PID1 output , minimum limit is fixed as 0 and maximum limit is 500. 
This means that for output 0% the PID output will be equals to minimum 
fixed value and for output 100% the PID output will be equals to maximum 
fixed value. For each PID [1..8], minimum and maximum values of output 
are initialized at starting as 0 and 10000.

The operation NOT modifies logic value from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 0.
