Tab. 39: Range of values in case of fixed data format (output 4 ... 20 mA)
7.5.7
Output 4 ... 20 mA - scalable data format
– Value range -32768 ... 0 ... 32767
– Scalable data format -32768 ... 0 ... 32767
– Scaling above the lower and upper critical limit
– Use of the critical limits for diagnostics
– Current value output 0 ... 22 mA (for sufficiently scaled data range)
– Current value output in case of overflow (> 22 mA): 22 mA
– Current value output in case of underflow (< 0 mA): 0 mA
– Conversion of the digital output value to the analogue setpoint value (current value output)
Current value = 4 + 16 x (digital output value - lower critical limit) / (upper critical limit - lower critical
limit)

Tab. 40: Range of values for scalable data format (output 4 ... 20 mA)
7.5.8
Output 0 ... 20 mA - fixed data format
– Value range 0 ... 20 mA
– Data format not scalable
– Current value output in case of overflow (> 22 mA): 22 mA
– Current value output in case of underflow (< 0 mA): 0 mA
– Conversion of the digital output value to the analogue setpoint value (current value output)
Current value = 20 x digital output value / 27648
