IanalogWrite2f() converts a user floating-point value to the 4~20mA output range.

void IanalogWrite2f(uint8_t ch, float min, float max, float value)

Connect a Y output module to MPAINO-8A8R(T) and select Analog Output Module → Y. Set the CH0 DIP switch to OFF and measure the 4–20mA output at I+ and −.

void setup() {}
 
void loop() {
  IanalogWrite2f(0, 0.0F, 100.0F, 25.0F);  // Scale 25% to the 4–20mA range and output about 8mA.
  delay(500);
}

• Set the MPAINO Y module CH0 DIP switch to OFF and connect the 4–20mA output to I+ and −.
• An input of approximately 3.6~4.0mA returns the normal value 0; inputs below 3.6mA return an error value.
• Error values help detect open circuits. The user must implement final alarms and safety actions in the program.
• IanalogRead2() and IanalogRead2f() also return 65535 on error, rather than a user-range value. Check for errors before using the result.
• The full int32_t range is available for min~max in IanalogRead2(), but if the normal range includes 65535, it cannot be distinguished from an error value.
• analogRead2Avgf() uses state and a buffer separate from analogRead2Avg(). Using both increases SRAM usage.
• If samples is 0 or memory allocation fails in analogRead2Avgf(), it returns the current valid corrected value as a float.
• On MPINO, do not use analogRead2() on voltage/NTC channels that are not 4~20mA inputs.
• For MPINO products requiring analogReference(EXTERNAL), set it first in setup().
• IanalogWrite2() and IanalogWrite2f() are convenience outputs dedicated to 4~20mA. Avoid alternating them with IanalogWrite() on the same channel.
• The analog output circuit requires an external 12~24V supply. USB power alone may not provide normal output.
• Verify actual current input/output with measuring instruments after preparing a test product.
