Analog Output Units Section 7-3
■ 0 to 20 mA
The hexadecimal values 0000 to 1770 (0 to 6000) correspond to an analog
current range of 0 to 20 mA. The entire output range is 0 to 21 mA.
■ 4 to 20 mA
The hexadecimal values 0000 to 1770 (0 to 6000) correspond to an analog
current range of 4 to 20 mA. The entire output range is 3.2 to 20.8 mA.

Connect and wire Units.
Create a ladder program
• Connect Analog Output Units. 
• Wire to analog input devices.
• Write range code to output words (n+1, n+2).
• Set use of outputs.
• Select output signals using range codes.
• Write D/A conversion values to output words
(n+1 to n+4).
