SCC-CO20 Signal Connections to E/M Series DAQ Device
Using the Isolated Loop Supply of the SCC-CO20
You can connect the SCC-CO20 to a load using either the isolated internal
loop supply or an external supply. The internal loop supply outputs a
voltage of 15 V with respect to the isolated ground reference. When using
the internal loop supply, the compliance voltage is 12.5 V. This allows for
a maximum load resistance of 625
Ω
at 20 mA. Figure 2 shows how to
connect the SCC-CO20, using the internal loop supply, to a nonreferenced
(floating) load and to a load with a high common-mode voltage.
