4 to 20 mA
The 4- to 20-mA range corresponds to the hexadecimal values 0000 to 1770 (0
to 6000). The entire data range is FED4 to 189C (–300 to 6300). Inputs between
3.2 and 4 mA are expressed as two's complements. If the input falls below
3.2 mA, open-circuit detection will activate and converted data will be 8000.

The Analog I/O Unit converts the digital output data to analog values. The analog
values depend on the output signal ranges, as shown in the following diagrams.
–10 to 10 V
The hexadecimal values F448 to 0BB8 (–3000 to 3000) correspond to an analog
voltage range of –10 to 10 V. The entire output range is –11 to 11 V. Specify a
negative voltage as a two's complement.

The hexadecimal values 0000 to 1770 (0 to 6000) correspond to an analog volt-
age range of 0 to 10 V. The entire output range is –0.5 to 10.5 V. Specify a nega-
tive voltage as a two's complement.
