SCC-CO20 Isolated Current
Output Module
The SCC-CO20 is an isolated current output module that outputs up to
20 mA. The output current level is proportional to the voltage applied to
the module by an analog output channel of an E/M Series DAQ device.
Conventions
The following conventions are used in this guide:
<> Angle brackets that contain numbers separated by an ellipsis represent
a range of values associated with a bit or signal name—for example,
AO <3..0>.

SCC-CO20 Signal Connections to E/M Series DAQ Device Using the Isolated Loop Supply of the SCC-CO20 You can connect the SCC-CO20 to a load using either the isolated internal loop supply or an external supply. The internal loop supply outputs a voltage of 15 V with respect to the isolated ground reference. When using the internal loop supply, the compliance voltage is 12.5 V. This allows for a maximum load resistance of

Note If your load is grounded and you are using the internal supply, connect the load ground to the current sink terminal at pin 2 on the SCC-CO20. Do not connect the load ground to the isolated ground terminal because doing so could defeat the module isolation. Driving Higher-Resistance Loads with the SCC-CO20 In order to calculate the supply voltage your application requires, multiply the load resistance by the current you need to sink, then add 2.5 V for the voltage drop across the protec

Using an External Loop Supply In order for the current sink to operate properly with an external loop supply, the voltage must be within the range of 3 to 42 V. If the voltage is too high, overheating can occur and damage the module. Figure 4 shows four configurations using an external loop supply.

Calibrating Gain and Offset Errors The SCC-CO20 is calibrated at the factory before shipment. If you want to adjust the gain and offset of the SCC-CO20 in your system using an E/M Series DAQ device, you need a current meter (ammeter) with an ac

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 fol
