Do you mean 4-20mA?
is the P2K the master?
The 4-20mA needs to go to click's df location and the P2K grab it from there.

I don't have experience (or requirement for) of sending/receiving floats between Click and PAC, but bits/words are just fine, and since floats are just an interpretation of a group of bits, it should work.
Be sure to observe a couple Modbus traps:
+/- 1 on actual tag address
word / byte swap
---- AND
If you setup the PAC to READ the value from the CLICK, you would NOT need to assign a Modbus address to the PAC destination tag.
The Click already has a Modbus address assigned to every location in its address space. Just tell PAC which NODE/address to read from.
