Configuring Analog Input Channels for 4-20mA and 0-20mA in Studio 5000: How to Find Percentage Range Values

Question:

Hello, I am currently configuring the Analog input card channels for 4-20mA and 0-20mA in Studio5000. I am having trouble finding the percentage range values in the configuration tab. Does anyone know where I can locate this information? Thank you in advance.

Could you provide more details on the specific module you are configuring? The configuration settings may differ between modules.

I am currently working on scaling analog inputs for the 1769-IF8/A module.

If you are looking for input value range options, there are four choices available. The installation manual provides an overview of these options, but does not delve into the specific values. For detailed explanations and values associated with each option, refer to chapter 3 of the user manual found here: https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/1769-um002_-en-p.pdf. This resource will provide you with a better understanding of the available input range choices.

Hey there, I've encountered a similar issue before. If you're using a 1756-IF8 card, the percentage range values can be tricky to locate. Try going to the channel properties, then under the 'Input' tab, select 'Scaling.' Here, you should be able to put in your raw Min/Max and Engineering Min/Max, which should correspond to the 4-20mA or 0-20mA range you're working with. Let me know if that helps!
