Parameter
Description
Default
Primary Variable
Unit
The unit of the primary variable supplied by the 4 ... 20 mA
device. The selection changes the units of the scaling
parameters.
mA
Linearization
Mode
Determines how the current input will be converted to the
output.
■
Linear: Proportional scaling across the set range
■
Special curve: Scaling according to the table in
Linearization
Linear
Primary Variable
Upper Range
Value (20 mA)
Output value assigned to the 20 mA current input
20 mA
Primary Variable
Lower Range
Value (4 mA)
Output value assigned to the 4 mA current input
4 mA
Input Damping
Damping factor for the current input in seconds (valid range
0 ... 255)

Upper Fault-
Current Value
Max. current output by 4 ... 20 mA device when in fault
condition.
The adapter outputs an alarm if the current input reaches this
level.
