Figure 2.4.5.3.2: Example to read the min and max output current of AO1. Min is fixed to 3.5 and Max is fixed to 22 mA (Currents above 20 and below 4 mA indicate erroneous measurements or errors).

The same values are stored in register 4494 for AO2.

Figure 2.4.5.4.2: Example to read the min, max and mid output current for measurement values for AO1. They are fixed to 4, 20 and 12 mA.

The same values are stored in register 4498 for AO2.

Note:

Mid current must always be defined. However, in linear output mode, the mid current value has no physical meaning and will not affect the 4-20 mA output.
