Click PLC Analog Input Non-Linear Scaling

The Click PLC has automatic linear scaling for the analog inputs and outputs. What if the analog input or output is not linear? How do you handle this in the PLC? Look at the following tank. We can measure the height, which is linear, but the volume will not because of the shape of the tank.
We will look at an application to determine the volume in this tank. This will be based on the height of the liquid in the tank. We will then scale this non-linear volume of the tank to display the actual volume. Let's get started.

CLICK PLCs were designed with simplicity in mind, providing reliable control at a low, low cost and with little to no learning curve.
This simplicity makes CLICK a perfect solution for small machines, home automation projects, pneumatic applications, or anywhere a simple system needs a budget-saving control solution.
Building on the original CLICK’s simple design, the new CLICK PLUS PLCs offer the same practical control but with some surprising bells and whistles. Using the same FREE, streamlined PLC programming software as its predecessor, the CLICK PLUS PLCs provide no-headache programming combined with advanced capabilities like Wi-Fi communication and data logging.

Features of the new Click PLUS PLC (C2-0xCPU) include the following:
• Micro USB
• DHCP support
• DNS support
• Wi-Fi (programming and Modbus TCP)
• Bluetooth (Wi-Fi) provisioning
• SD Card (Data Logging)
• Data Logger
• Network Time Service
• MQTT (Publish/Subscribe)
• Required PLC Password
• Disable Ports
• Strong Password Support
• Disable Ping Response
• Encrypted Password Transfer

There are several reasons why we are using the Click and Click PLUS PLCs. Here are just a few.
Investment is low for the hardware and the software is free
Standalone PLC with built-in I/O
Communication ability - Ethernet Port, RS232, RS485 - support for protocols such as Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, etc.
Ability to expand the system with a variety of modules including RTD and Thermocouple inputs directly.
