6.2.5.4.5 Restrictions of the Current Loop Outputs
High side load/Low side load
The load resistor should normally be connected on high side (see Figure 44 and Figure 45).
Low side load can be used alternatively, but only when a single current loop outputs is
used/connected. If more than one current loop output is used and load resistor is connected
on low side, the readings on each output will show erroneous values. The reason for this is
that the current from each output will disperse over all connected outputs. (see Figure 46 and
Figure 47)
