4.8.2 Connecting Generic mA Device
IR personality type provides for a Generic mA input under sensor type
configuration. The XNX transmitter can be used to convert the mA input to be
read over HART
®
protocol or optional Modbus or Foundation Fieldbus and set
optional relays (if equipped). Additional configuration of gas type and unit ID for
reporting is required (see XNX Technical Manual Section 2.51 Gas Selection).
For Generic mA devices, input values below 3mA will generate Fault 155.
Use the following schematics to set S3 and S4 to the same output type that
appears on the wire tag of the mA device.
