  • Page 2 SCC-CO20 Isolated Current Output Module The SCC-CO20 is an isolated current output module that outputs up to 20 mA. The output current level is proportional to the voltage applied to the module by an analog output channel of an E/M Series DAQ device.
  • Page 3: What You Need To Get Started

    SC-2345 refers to both the SC-2345 connector block and the SC-2345 with configurable connectors. SCC refers to any SCC Series signal conditioning module. What You Need to Get Started To set up and use the SCC-CO20, you need the following items: ❑ Hardware –...
  • Page 4: Device Specific Information

    Plug the SCC-CO20 into either SC-2345/2350 analog output socket J(X+17), where X is 0 or 1. The SC-2345/2350 routes the voltage output of E/M Series DAQ device analog output channel AO (X) to the SCC-CO20. Connecting the SCC-CO20 to a Load Note The signal names have changed.
  • Page 5 Figure 1. SCC-CO20 Signal Connections to E/M Series DAQ Device Using the Isolated Loop Supply of the SCC-CO20 You can connect the SCC-CO20 to a load using either the isolated internal loop supply or an external supply. The internal loop supply outputs a voltage of 15 V with respect to the isolated ground reference.
  • Page 6 If your load is grounded and you are using the internal supply, connect the load ground to the current sink terminal at pin 2 on the SCC-CO20. Do not connect the load ground to the isolated ground terminal because doing so could defeat the module isolation.

  • Page 8 – b. Referenced load and external voltage supply (two circuits) Figure 4. Connecting the SCC-CO20 Using an External Loop Supply When you use an external loop supply, the order of the supply and load does not matter as long as you do not create a second loop through which current flows.
  • Page 9 Calibrating Gain and Offset Errors The SCC-CO20 is calibrated at the factory before shipment. If you want to adjust the gain and offset of the SCC-CO20 in your system using an E/M Series DAQ device, you need a current meter (ammeter) with an accuracy of at least ±2 μA.
  • Page 10 Normally you would adjust to 0 μA in order to calibrate the offset, but because Note the SCC-CO20 cannot source current, it is impossible to know when you have adjusted past 0 μA. Using the SCC-CO20 The SCC-CO20 is a 0 to 20 mA programmable current sink. The current output is controlled by AO (X), a 0 to 10 V unipolar DAC output channel of an E/M Series DAQ device.
