Setting the Module Jumper

The position of the J2 jumper determines the input and output signal level. You can choose
between 0–20 mA and 4–20 mA signal levels. The module ships without the jumper connecting
the pins (pins not jumpered). In this position, the input and output signal level is 4–20 mA. To
select 0–20 mA signal level, install the jumper, connecting the pins.

11–4

The J2 jumper is shown in the 4–20 mA
position (not installed). Install the jumper
for the 0–20 mA position.

WARNING: Before removing the analog module or the terminal block on the face of the module,
disconnect power to the PLC and all field devices. Failure to disconnect power can result in damage to
the PLC and/or field devices.

Connecting and Disconnecting the Field Wiring

Wiring Guidelines

Your company may have guidelines for wiring and cable installation. If so, you should check
those before you begin the installation. Here are some general things to consider:

• Use the shortest wiring route whenever possible.

• Use shielded wiring and ground the shield at the transmitter source. Do not ground the shield at
both the module and the source.

• Do not run the signal wiring next to large motors, high current switches, or transformers. This may
cause noise problems.

• Route the wiring through an approved cable housing to minimize the risk of accidental damage.
Check local and national codes to choose the correct method for your application.

A separate transmitter power supply may be required, depending on the type of transmitter
being used.

This module has a removable connector to make wiring and module removal easier. To remove
the terminal block, disconnect power to the PLC and the field devices. Pull the terminal block
firmly until the connector separates from the module.

The analog module can be removed from the PLC by folding out the retaining tabs at the top
and bottom of the module. As the retaining tabs pivot upward and outward, the module’s
connector is lifted out of the PLC socket. Once the connector is free, you can lift the module
out of its slot.

Current Loop Transmitter Impedance

Manufacturers of transmitters and transducers specify a wide variety of power sources for their
products. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.

In some cases, manufacturers specify a minimum loop or load resistance that must be used with
the transmitter. The F0-04AD2DA-1 provides 125 ohm resistance for each channel. If your
transmitter requires a load resistance below 125 ohms, you do not have to make any changes.
However, if your transmitter requires a load resistance higher than 125 ohms, you need to add
a resistor in series with the module.

Consider the following example for a transmitter being operated from a 30VDC supply with a
recommended load resistance of 750 ohms. Since the module has a 125 ohm resistor, you need
to add an additional resistor.

R = Tr–Mr R = resistor to add

R = 750–125 Tr = Transmitter Requirement

R M 625 Mr = Module resistance (internal 125 ohms)
