 27 Possible locations of the Analog I/O modules, which can be used as a 4-20mA input. The order code of the
device determines which of these modules is actually present →  20.
For each Analog I/O module to which a 4-20mA device is connected, proceed as follows:
1. Make sure the 4-20mA devices are connected as defined by the terminal assignment
→  26.
2. Navigate to the submenu of the respective Analog I/O module: Setup → Advanced
setup → Input/output → Analog I/O X1-3
3. Go to the Operating mode parameter (→  138) and select 4..20mA input or
HART master+4..20mA input.
4. Go to the Process variable parameter (→  144) and specify which process variable
is transmitted by the connected device.
5. Go to the Analog input 0% value parameter (→  144) and define which value of
the process variable corresponds to an input current of 4 mA (see diagram below).
6. Go to the Analog input 100% value parameter (→  144) and define which value
of the process variable corresponds to an input current of 20 mA (see diagram
below).
7. Go to the Process value parameter (→  145) and check whether the indicated
value matches the actual value of the process variable.
