6.3.5
Universal inputs
The four universal inputs are used to monitor analog signals and digital signals for limit
values.
6.3.5.1
Analog input
Introduction
You may use external transmitters with the following analog output signals:
● Analog signal 0-20 mA
● Analog signal 4-20 mA
Condition
The measurement channel must be configured as an analog input. The measurement
channel is configured as an analog input if the parameter P.26 to P.29 associated with the
measurement channel is set to the value "0-20", "4-20", "20-0" or "20-4".
