Special characteristics of the wire-break check for the 4 to 20 mA measuring
range
With a parameterized measuring range of 4 to 20 mA and enabled wire-break
check, the analog input module enters wire-break in the diagnosis when a current
falls below 3.6 mA.
If you have enabled diagnostics interrupt during configuration, the module
additionally triggers a diagnostic interrupt.
If no diagnostic interrupt has been enabled, the illuminated SF LED is the only
indication of the wire-break and you must evaluate the diagnostic bytes in the user
program.
With a parameterized measuring range of 4 to 20 mA and disabled wire-break
check and enabled diagnostic interrupt, the module triggers a diagnostic interrupt
when the underflow is reached.
