4-20 mA Transmitter Wiring Types : 2-Wire, 3-Wire, 4-Wire
Transmitters are available with a wide variety of signal outputs. The 4-20mA analogue signal is by far the most commonly
Loop Check of 4-20mA or HART Transmitters
Do you know about Loop Check of 4-20mA or HART Transmitters or Instruments Loop check procedure ? This article provides the
Sink or Source? Normally Open or Normally Closed?
We discuss concepts of Sink or Source used in electrical circuits or in PLC wiring. Also we deal with basics of normally open contact or normally closed contact.
Troubleshooting a 4-20mA Current loop
The basic layout of every 4-20mA loop consists of a power supply, a transmitter, and passive loop devices. The supply produces the energy to run loop.
What is an O-Ring?
What is an O-Ring? An O-ring is a torus, or doughnut-shaped ring, generally molded from an elastomer, although O-rings are
