2.2.3.2 Floating Differential Mode mA Inputs
Differential mode current inputs should be used when measuring a current loop which
cannot be connected to earth or ground. This allows the input to be connected anywhere
in the current loop. Common mode voltage can be up to 27VDC.
Up to four loops can be connected, to terminal pairs [AIN1-AIN2], [AIN3-AIN4],
[AIN5-AIN6], [AIN7-AIN8] - the former terminal is positive and the latter negative.
The diagram in Figure 2-8 indicates how to connect devices for differential mode current
inputs.

Note:
- The module configuration needs to be changed for this type of input
- To change the input configuration, refer to section 4.4
