Ok I got the fact that the 0 volts on my analog inputs are floating so I need some signal converters to sort out the signals now if I want to put on a mixture of 4-20mA and 0-10V inputs is that going to be ok.

 
+24V-----------------------------|
| |
| |
= 0.22 Cap |
| |
4-20mA +-------> |Multiplexer
| |
| |
= 0.22 Cap |
| |
0V------------------------------|

+10V-----------------------------|
| |
| |
= 0.22 Cap |
| |
0-10V +-------> |Multiplexer
| |
| |
= 0.22 Cap |
| |
0V------------------------------|



Bit of a dodgy drawing I know but its the best I can do at work.
 
Jezz,

I have forgot what was the original problem. Could you summarize it for us?

It might have been easier to add on to the old thread...
 
Why a multiplexer? I have replaced them with straight analogue cards on several jobs for clients because they caused a lot of problems. May have been due to the brand of multiplexer - I do not know.
 
Sorry the multiplexer is in the analog card on the allen bradley (told you is was a bad drawing) I've now relised its always 0-10 V into the multiplexer as a 250 Ohm resistor is switched across the input when its set to run 4 - 20 mA .

So I think its ok now its been one of them jobs where if it can go wrong it will.

Can't wait till friday 11 Days Off :D :D :D
