Input type can be changed from the XDi menu, the highlighted input type, in the example above, is used for a
4-20mA input, one of the most used analogue interface types for indicators.
Select the range that
best matches your
input voltage

The low input is used
for both low current
and low voltage.
*) The resistance used to measure the current excl. the resistance in the poly-fuse.
5.6.3 Analogue scaling
In the VS profile, each analogue input used is pre-configured to scale the incoming analogue signal to the correct
output values that fit the data type it sources data to.
The example below shows the setup menu for a typical scaling of an analogue RPM 0 to 200.0 RPM input
represented by a 4-20 mA input signal. The analogue input is configured in the VS to use 2 point calibration (or
scaling); this requires 2 sets of scaling points:
Input point 1/output point 1 defines that 4000 µA (4 mA) is representing 0.0 RPM, and 20 000 µA (20 mA) is
representing 300.0 RPM. Please note that the standard RPM resolution of x0.1.
