I have a small question on the above topic. There are 3 gas detectors in a meter station ( has a Versamax PLC and the program used is View Developer-Quick Panel) whose analog values are being relayed to the gas plant via an analog output module IC200ALG320 (4-20mA) . Now, last week one of the detectors failed and there was no operator in the meter station to look at the alarm and report. The plant E&I guys want to know if they can have a 0-20mA output module instead so they can read the fault codes off those instruments in MS-43. In other words, they would like to be able to see signals < 4mA passed to the output via the software. What are your thoughts on this issue? Is this feasible? can the existing module be programmed (both hardware and software) to produce < 4mA?
