4-20mA Output Parameters
The 4-20mA output parameters define the characteristics of the 4-20mA
output signals. The XM-360 supports a total of six 4-20mA outputs. Each
output is permanently associated with a corresponding channel. The
parameters are the same for each output.
IMPORTANT
If the Enable Relay Reset Switch Terminals parameter
is enabled, Channel 6 is not available for configuration, and
the Channel 6 4-20mA output is set to a fixed (12mA) level.
See page 44 and page 22 for details.
4-20mA Parameters
Parameter Name Description Options/Comments
4-20mA Output (XM Serial
Configuration Utility only)
Sets the 4-20mA output to be configured in the XM
Serial Configuration Utility.
Each output is associated with a
corresponding channel.
Enable Enables/disables the 4-20mA output.
Measurement Sets the measurement value that the 4-20mA output
will track.
Options: Value
Difference
Min Range The measured value associated with the 4mA. Same measurement unit as Data
Units selection for the specified
channel.
Max Range The measured value associated with the 20mA.

IMPORTANT
Measured values between Min Range and Max Range are
scaled into the range from 4.0 to 20.0 to produce the
output value. The Min Range value does not have to be
less than the Max Range value. If the Min Range value is
greater than the Max Range value, then the output signal
is effectively inverted from the input signal.
