Configuring 4–20 mA input channels
Data input channels that use the 4–20 mA standard are available if you need to integrate data coming
from external devices (thermometers, flow meters, etc.) For each input channel that you enable, you
need to configure certain settings, values, and thresholds. The following pages explain how to do
that. To simplify understanding, we will use a thermometer as the device inputing values into the
CoreSense M10.
Configuring basic channel settings
Each channel can be given a specific unit and be enabled or disabled as necessary.
To configure these settings:
1 From the CoreSense M10 dashboard, click Settings. The Settings page appears.
2 Click Sensors settings and enter your password when asked. The Sensors Settings page appears.
3 Click Inputs 4-20mA and the channel that you want to use.
4 In the Units field, enter the unit of the property that you want to measure, e.g., °C, °F, K etc.
5 Check the Enabled box to activate this channel.
6 Click Apply at the bottom of the page to save your changes.
