Current Generation
MC5P can generate current both with the E and the ET module. Additionally the E module
can be used both in source and sink mode.
Required settings Options/description
Quantity Current
Funct/Port ET: I(gen) or E: I(control)
Using the ET module’s output
terminals
When generating current from the ET
module’s output terminals, select Funct/
Port option ET: I(gen). The following pic-
ture displays the active terminals:
Notes.
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 gen-
eration.
The voltage between the output connectors of the ET module is
limited to ±15 Volts. There is no sinking possibility in the ET mod-
ule.
Using the E module’s output termi-
nals
When generating current from the E
module’s output terminals, you can either
use MC5P’s internal 24V supply (source
mode) or use an external supply and let
MC5P control the current (sink mode).
Active terminals in source mode (below):
Based on the terminals in use, MC5P automatically selects either source or sink mode.
