[FONT="]Hello, new to the forum, been here over the years on and off, but now I am more involved at work so I run into more difficult problems....
Maybe someone can help me out:[/FONT]

[FONT="]The PLC is a Siemens 300 series.
I have added a Phoenix Contact remote i/o Card to an existing remote rack:
[/FONT]
[FONT="]ib il ai 8/sf-pac[/FONT][FONT="] 2861412[/FONT]
[FONT="][/FONT]
[FONT="]I added it to hardware config, but I do not get the option to set up what type of signal i will be monitoring (volt, current, signal type 4-20ma/0-10v/etc) I can however setup the address of my PIW input. My analog sensor does provide a variable signal, i tried setting it to voltage and then to current, but my input PIW 256 address is showing -32768 at all times. I even created a small resistor volt drop and put 5 volts input to the analog card, it still shows -32768.
Any ideas?
Thank you
