8.5.1 0-20 mA adjustment: Example for channel 0
(All channels are identically set up).
•
Jumper J25 is set and J26 is not set, jumper J41 is set on 0-20 mA mode.
•
Write the value 000Hex on channel 0
•
There must be a current of 0 mA
•
Write the value 0FFFHex on channel 0
•
There must be a current between 19.99 and 20.00 mA.
Otherwise, please calibrate in this range with the adjusting potentiometer P2.
8.5.2 4-20 mA adjustment: Example for channel 0
(All channels are identically set up).
•
Jumper J25 is not set and J26 is set, J41 is set on 4-20mA mode
•
Write the value 000Hex on channel 0
•
There must be a current of 4 mA.
Otherwise, please calibrate on 4 mA with potentiometer P1.
•
Write the value FFFHex on channel 0
•
There must be a current between 19.99 and 20.00 mA.
Otherwise, please calibrate in this range with adjusting potentiometer P2.
8.5.3 Measuring the current
The current in the loop can be measured with a "SHUNT"-resistor.
Fig. 8-3: Measuring the current
One digit then corresponds to a voltage jump of 1.1145 mV.
Example:
If digital value = 2048, then VR
≠
2.283 Volt
