11.6.4.1
Einspeisung eines Stroms - Strom aus dem Sensor
The connected sensor has its own power supply and a current output with a current
of 20mA.
The sensor is connected to -A3 or -A4 against ground.
Port
Description
-A3
Positive connection input 3, current output of the sensor
GND
Negative connection Input 3, sensor ground
-A4
Positive connection input 4, current output of the sensor
GND
Negative connection Input 4, sensor ground
11.6.4.2
Low Side Shunt - power supply for the sensor
It is possible both to supply the sensor with power and to measure the current it
draws over the same two wires. The sensor will be powered from the MC100
SensT2. A voltage is applied to the terA3 or +A4 for this purpose. Connect
the sensor to +A3 and A3 or +A4 and -A4.
Port
Description
+A3
Positive connection output 3, sensor supply, approx. 12V to 14V
-A3
Negative connection Input 3
+A4
Positive connection output 4, sensor supply, approx. 12V to 14V
-A4
Negative connection Input 4

Example:
Read current at ADC input +A3,-A3
Command:
cat /sys/senst2_board/current_in1/value
Response:
e.g. 1500
Note:
Conversion to mA
Formula:
Current in mA = Value * 20 / 3000
Example:
Value = 1500 corresponds to 10mA
Current outputs 0 - 20mA
