Everything is clear with 2 wire current transmitters. But on one of the input groups I need to connect current transmitter which have 3 wire interface - current loop closes between current output and the power supply ground of the transmitter. The transmitter is powered by the same 24V supply that powers the module itself. This case is not clarified it the module data manual. So, my question is this - should I connect M- of the according channel with M of the module, or there is another way to connect 3 wire transmitter.

I want to know if it's safe to connect M- of the channel configured for 4 wire current measurement to M of the module power supply, because this is the path of the current loop for my 3 wire current transmitter.
