This particular problem is doing my head in...
In our system we have a minisonic flowmeter. One of these.
It outputs 4-20mA and is an input into the PLC as an analogue input into D34.
When I inject 4-20mA into the PLC from a Fluke 754 processor calibrator, the value of D34 changes as expected (litres/sec).
On the flowmeter, there's an I/O function feature where you can output 4-20mA (even though there's no water flowing)...but when I connect the flow meter to the PLC, I get zero flow reading.
I know the flowmeter is correctly outputting 4-20mA because I connected it to a Fluke. I've even tried resetting the PLC in case that makes a difference. I must be doing something daft. Any suggestions? Thanks
