Emulation Mode Chapter 2
Emulation Mode Differences
The following is a list of differences resulting from using an 8-channel module
to emulate a 6-channel module.
Input Ranges
The input ranges are slightly different on the 8-channel modules resulting in
differing overrange/underrange trip channels that usually denote wire off.
Output Ranges
The output ranges are slightly different on the 8-channel modules resulting in
differing output limits.
