SCC-CO20 Isolated Current Output Module User Guide
Note
Normally you would adjust to 0 
μA in order to calibrate the offset, but because 
the SCC-CO20 cannot source current, it is impossible to know when you have adjusted 
past 0
μA.
Using the SCC-CO20
The SCC-CO20 is a 0 to 20 mA programmable current sink. The current 
output is controlled by AO (X), a 0 to 10 V unipolar DAC output channel 
of an E/M Series DAQ device. The relationship between the AO (X
voltage level and the current output of the SCC-CO20 is linear and is 
described by the following equation:
where 
V
AO (X)
 is the AO (X) voltage level. 
I
CO20
 is the SCC-CO20 current output in amperes.
The current sink is an N-channel power MOSFET sink to an isolated 
ground reference. You can use the SCC-CO20 with industry-standard 
0 to 20 or 4 to 20 mA current loops.
Note
The current sink does not source current. If the input voltage is 0 V or less, 
the module sinks 0 mA.
Isolated Ground Reference
Each SCC-CO20 module is referenced to its own isolated ground. Each 
isolated ground can have up to 60 VDC of common-mode voltage between 
itself and any other channel ground or chassis ground. Refer to the 
 section for different ways to use 
the isolated ground in signal connections.
