BEAMEX MC5-IS - Current Sink; Using the ET Modules Output Terminals; Using the E Modules Output Terminals

58
Startup and Basic Operation
Current Sink
MC5-IS has a possibility to sink current, i.e. MC5-IS acts as a device controlling the flow
of current while a external device generates the supply voltage for the loop, both in the E
and the ET module. The maximum current it 25 mA.
Required settings Options/description
Quantity Current
Funct/Port ET: I(control) or E: I(control)
Using the ET module’s output termi-
nals
When sinking current using the ET
module’s output terminals, select Funct/
Port option ET: I(control). The following
picture displays the active terminals:
Note.
If you are simultaneously using the ET module’s output terminals
and some of the ET module’s measuring terminals, there is no gal-
vanic isolation between the measuring circuit and the current sink-
ing circuit.
Using the E module’s output termi-
nals
Select Funct/Port option E: I(control) to
sink current using the E modules terminals.
Active terminals:
Note.
The output current of the E module is a “pure” analog signal without
any embedded HART signal.
