The first one is a 4-wire 4-20mA device and the second is 2-wires 4-20mA. I connected it exactly as explained in the manual. I can read channel 0 ok, but channel 1 gives me a negative resault. only when i disconnect the channel 0 input, the reading in channel 1 is ok. Do they need to have the same common signal or is it that every channel is by itself? Do I need to config something in the hardware configuration for a 2-wire and 4-wire? (there are both configured for 4-20mA)

Are both sensors at the same power supply ? Perhaps you can attach a drawing how things are connected? Regards, Marcjan
