Hello all,
To start with, it has been along time since I have hung out here and I am rather glad to be back. Its a long story and I will spare the details. Anyway, I am using a Burkert type 8605 controller on a 6223 proportional valve. I was told by a coworker is "has" to have a sourcing 4-20mA signal. looking over the data sheet it has the following pin out:
Currently we are using a sourcing analog card and wiring it with +24VDC to #1, 0VDC to #2 and analog signal to #4.
If I switch to a sinking analog card cant I just wire the signal to #3?
Thank you,
Micheal

3 : Standard signal GND
