Load capacity of the current output

The load capacity of the current output is subject to specified application limits. This information is provided as "Load" in the technical data. This is the maximum load resistance for the channel against which the terminal can still provide the maximum possible output current.

approx. 12 V

A channel can also be operated at higher load resistances, but will then no longer reach its full output current and may be overloaded.

Notice

Excessive load may damage the device

Operation outside the valid operating range as shown in the following figure is not recommended. If the process value specification results in operation outside this range, the output stage may become damaged.
