7.2 Command Input (4-20 mA) Connection
The Logix 505+ is reverse polarity protected, however, verify polarity
when making field termination connection. Wire 4-20 mA current
source to the input terminal labeled "4-20mA INPUT". Tighten termi-
nals 0.5 to 0.6 Nm torque. See Figure 25: Terminal Diagram.
7.2.1 Compliance Voltage
Output compliance voltage refers to the voltage limit the current
source can provide. A current loop system consists of the current
source, wiring resistance, barrier resistance (if present), and the Logix
505+ impedance.
The Logix 505+ requires that the current loop system allow for a 6
VDC drop across the positioner at maximum loop current. The oper-
ating current range is from 3.8 to 24 mA.
In order to determine if the loop will support the Logix 505+, perform
the calculation in the following equation. The Available Voltage must
be greater than 6 VDC in order to support the Logix 505+. Also, see
Table 1: Input Signal.

Available Voltage = 19 V - 0.020 A × (300Ω + 25Ω)
Available Voltage = 12.5 V
The available voltage (12.5 V) is greater than the required voltage (6.0
V) therefore; this system will support the Logix 505+. The Logix 505+
has an input resistance equivalent to 500 Ω at a 20 mA input current.
a
CAUTION: The current must always be limited for 4-20 mA oper-
ation. Never connect a voltage source directly across the Logix
505+ terminals. This could cause permanent circuit board damage.
