Current Loop Cable Wiring
You can wire the ACM/Flex16 with the 20mA Current Loop
option in various ways to communicate with 20mA Current Loop
peripherals. This section describes an example of a Current Loop
cabling scheme.
Figure 22 describes a 4 wire cabling scheme between a port on
the ACM/Flex16 and another port on an external device.
