Configuring 4–20 mA input channels
Data input channels that use the 4–20 mA standard are available if you need to integrate data coming
from external devices (thermometers, flow meters, etc.) For each input channel that you enable, you
need to configure certain settings, values, and thresholds. The following pages explain how to do
that. To simplify understanding, we will use a thermometer as the device inputing values into the
CoreSense M10.
