The analog input of the built-in analog can be used as current input (4 to 20 mA DC) for the FX5U CPU module.
Method of using the FX5U CPU module for current inputs (4 to 20 mA DC)
The FX5U CPU module is designed to handle only voltage inputs.
However, the FX5U CPU module can be used for current inputs by connecting a 250 resistor (tolerance: 0.5%) between the
V+ terminal and the V- terminal.

*1 Instead of a 250 resistor, a 500 resistor can be connected in parallel. When selecting a resistor, consider the maximum input
current.
*2 For unused channels, short-circuit the "V+" and "V-" terminals.
