How do you tell the input if it's voltage or current?

[Guido]

Got a 1746-FIO4V 2-analog input (0 to 10 vdc) or (4-20 mA) and 2 analog output (0-10vdc) card. How do I let the card know if it's voltage or current I'm sending the inputs...using RSLogix 500 and a SLC 5/03 OS302? Can I simply loop back the outputs, which I've already mastered, to the inputs? But what about current restrictions, if I'm looking for current or voltage?

Thanks for any help,
Yes, I'm a newbie,

Switch settings will determine voltage or current, see attached PDF.

Take note the outputs are vlotage only, so if you are going to loop back then configure inputs for voltage. Also note inputs do not accept a negative voltage.

Thanks, working fine.
