6.2.2 Restricted Range Current Output Modes (4-20 mA)

When driving a system that requires a restricted current range then the full-scale
range is reduced accordingly. In the case of 4-20 mA devices the maximum range
is 8000 units and the minimum value should be scaled to
-3000 and prevented from going below this level.

The following partial program could be used in place of the last two instructions
in the example above.

; Then apply the scaling with one instruction P53
; The readings are scaled -3000 to +5000, i.e. to
; cover the range which would equate to
; 4-20 mA in current mode.

; Windspeed to cover the range 0-100 m/s
; Wind direction to cover 0-360 degrees
; Temperature -25 to +50 degrees C
; Radiation 0 - 1000 m^2/s

; Now limit the lowest scaled value to -3000 (4 mA)
