Hi all,
I have a AC current transducer that I want to bench test to ensure I am getting a 4-20mA output. I am using a AE001 unit. It is very simple, with only an M12 cable that I have wired the following way: L+ on 24V supply of PLC (brown wire) , L- on GND of PLC (blue wire) , and IO-Link output of PLC (black wire). I am using an X20DS4387 IO-link module. When I wire and power my PLC, I get no output when live monitoring my PLC. I am unsure how to externally bench test this as there are no terminals on this CT like other transducers I have worked with.
(Current sensor with IO-Link)
For context I previously used an ACT050-42L-F with an IFM DP2200 wired the same way to my PLC that worked well. With no load, I see an output of 4.0 mA. My goal is two eliminate these two components with this one sensor. I am new to instrumentation so all advice is appreciated. Thanks!
At the moment I do not have a lot of testing/measuring instruments on me aside from a basic MM, basic signal generator, and a variable PS for bench testing. See below:
