Selected setting 0 - 20 mA (b)
This setting converts the measured value 0 into 0, the span (see section 7.7.1) is converted into
20 mA, interim values are calculated proportionally.
Values below the measured value 0 cannot be evaluated (output 0 mA). If the span is exceeded, the
output current increases linearly to a maximum of 20.5 mA (102.5 % of the measurement range).
Further increases cannot be evaluated (output 20.5 mA).
