Analog Input Module, 12 Bit Voltage/Current 8 Channels
Scaling
The following graphs illustrate the relationship between the input voltage or
current measured at the field terminals and the data that is output by the
module.

4µA = 8 counts
The following equation can be used to calculate counts values:
Counts = (Current in mA - 4mA) x (32767 / 16.35mA
)
For a change in the reported count value to be seen, input current must be
increased by at least 4
μA. If the module receives an increase less than 2.5mV,
the previous count value is still reported. For example:
Current
