Information is transmitted in scaled signals (4-20 mA, 3-15 psig, 0-100%, digital counts), which are also deviations from some reference vales (such as psi gage is to psia). But process managers use engineering units (gpm, F, etc.). The process engineer must understand how to convert the signals, especially when using cascade or ratio control or when totaling quantities.
