It's a 4...20mA signal and it hasto go over multicable from the output card to input card(so not the same 24VDC supply for both plc's). Do I need to chose for 2 Wire transducer when setting up the analog input card, or 4-wire? Are there any other things where I have to pay attention for? thanks in advance, regards Attachment 1762-OF4.pdf (468 Downloads)

The only thing to be careful of is the common mode voltagefor the analog input. Make sure that voltage from the (-) analog input to Mana is less than the allowable common mode voltage (I think 2.5V, check specification to be sure of this voltage). If the voltage exceeds this limit,you can tie Mana and the (-) input together to force the common mode to zero.
