Hi

This is with regards to my previous post on the FX2N-4DA module.

As noted on the previous post, I did insert the program (found on its manual) on I/O characteristic adjustment but still nothing has changed.

What are the other ways to calibrate 4-32mA to 4-20mA?
 
ACT (www.act-solutions.com) makes an analog rescaling module (ARM), which can be adjusted to do just that.

Why can't you just place a 250 ohm resistor across the signal to convert it to 1-8VDC and then just apply it to a 0-10VDC input? It would be easy to take care of the scaling in the PLC.
