Scaling in a PLC refers to converting the raw analog input values measured by the PLC, which range from 0 to 32768 for 16-bit resolution, into engineering values that have real-world meaning, such as temperatures from 0 to 100°C or pressures from 0 to 10 bar. This conversion is needed because PLCs read analog signals as digital values, but the engineering values are required for calibration and measurement understanding. The scaling is done through a linear relationship that maps the raw values to the corresponding engineering values.

What is the meaning of scaling in PLC?
Analog signal is having standard 16-bit resolution for Input and Output for the PLC.
So every analog signal has standard range for measuring single for current and voltage.
Voltage Range: +- 10V
Current Range: 4 to 20ma
When PLC is taking analog signal from Sensors weather current or voltage form its converting in Digital Binary form between range 20 to 215. Total 16 bit and if we convert in decimal form then it would be as below range 0 to 32768.
This value called as Raw Value for the PLC, but we need engineering value to understand the calibration and measurements.
Engineering Values means 0 to 100 ‘C. Temperature
0 to 10 bar Pressure
100 l/sec Flow Etc.
So, we have to convert Raw value in engineering value and this procedure is called as SCALING in PLC for analog signal. And its ultimately linear graph for Engineering value Vs Raw Value.
