How to scale analog output 4-20mA in Rockwell studio 5000?

Our customer using Rockwell PLC & wants to send 4-20 MA output signal to field device. what should be the scaling factor in PLClogic to send 4-20 mA as output ?
 
you can use SCL instruction, but the scaling will be depend on your Analog Output module scale.
InEUMax will be the same as your analog output min value at 20 mA and InEUMax will be the same as your analog output min value at 4 mA, InRawMax will be the same as the value that intended to be 20 mA and InRawMin will be the same as the value that intended to be 4 mA

End field device output module accepts 0-27648 as range to give output 4-20mA . Can you guide how this range can be scaled by using SCL function in PLC program?
 
in this case, InEUMax will be 27420 and InEUMin will be 0, InRawMax and InRawmin, you need to know what is the value represent 4 mA and 20 mA, let say you want to send out 0 as 4 mA and 100 as 20 mA , then the configuration will be :
InEUMax will be 27420
InEUMin will be 0
InRawMax will be 100
InRawMin will be 0
 
It is not a good idea to set the individual scaling in each channel in the analog modules specific for each requirement. You want to set all 4-20mA analog in and out modules for a range of 4000 to 20000. That way there is never an issue when you have to replace a module under time pressure. And then you set the actual scale value required in the program (FBs or ladder). Also avoids having to reset a module (which resets all the other channels as well), due to a scaling change.
