Bench Testing AC Transducer

[am1]

Hi all,

I have a AC current transducer that I want to bench test to ensure I am getting a 4-20mA output. I am using a AE001 unit. It is very simple, with only an M12 cable that I have wired the following way: L+ on 24V supply of PLC (brown wire) , L- on GND of PLC (blue wire) , and IO-Link output of PLC (black wire). I am using an X20DS4387 IO-link module. When I wire and power my PLC, I get no output when live monitoring my PLC. I am unsure how to externally bench test this as there are no terminals on this CT like other transducers I have worked with.

For context I previously used an ACT050-42L-F with an IFM DP2200 wired the same way to my PLC that worked well. With no load, I see an output of 4.0 mA. My goal is two eliminate these two components with this one sensor.  I am new to instrumentation so all advice is appreciated. Thanks!

I do not have a lot of testing/measuring instruments aside from a basic MM, basic signal generator, and a variable PS. See below:

I looked at Manual, black wire is the IO-Link out (Out 1).  4-20 mA is on out 2, the white wire.

Ah, I was was under the impression that the IO-link output would take take of the signal conversion of 4-20 to a IO signal. Unfortunately the only analog input module I have is for +/-10V signals (X20AI4222). I have this IO-Link module (X20DS4387) that can operate as IO-link or standard input/outputs, so I wanted to see if it would be possible to get my output while eliminating the converter. But I guess a convertor is needed if I am using this hardware?

A work around could be a 500 ohm precision resistor across your input.
