4.5.2 Position feedback modules 6DR4004-6J and -8J
Function
● The optional position feedback module indicates the current position of the actuator as a
two-wire signal between 4 mA and 20 mA. The position feedback module is electrically
isolated from the basic device.
● The current position is indicated as a passive mA signal only after successful initialization.
● Operational faults are signaled by a fault current of 3.6 mA.
Device features

representation
The position feedback module is:
● Single channel
● Potentially separated from the basic device.
Requirements
● You are familiar with the general procedure described in the section "General information
about the installation of option modules (Page 53)".
● A supply source according to the technical data of the position feedback module (Page 291)
must be available.
Procedure for installing the position feedback module
1. Open the positioner as in the description depending on the device version:
– Opening the standard and and intrinsically safe version (Page 53)
– Opening the device version with "flameproof enclosure" (Page 56)
2. Slide the position feedback module up to the endstop in the lower bay of the rack.
