6.5.2 Current measurement
Current: ±20 mA, ±10 mA in 2 ranges
A special plug (order-code: ACC/DSUB-I4) with a built-in shunt (50 ) is needed for current
measurement. Configuration is performed in voltage mode, whereby an appropriate scaling factor is
entered in order for amperage values to be displayed (20 mA/V = 1/50 ).

At the imc CANSAS-SL-CI8-L(-SUPPLY) with LEMO connectors, current measurement is connected via an
internal 50 shunt. Toward this end, the current signal is connected at the pins +I and -IN.
