Example of 3-15 psi to 4-20mA Conversion
A current-to-pressure transducer is used to convert a 4-20 mA electronic signal into a 3-15 PSI pneumatic signal. This particular transducer is configured for reverse action instead of direct, meaning
PLC Raw Count Calculation for Pressure Transmitter
Every instrument has at least one input and at least one output. For instruments responding linearly, the correspondence between input and output is proportional: PLC Raw Count Calculation A practical
4-20mA Formulas and Examples
4-20 mA transmitter current output can be converted to the voltage within a specified range, from 0 to a maximal amplitude Vmax, as shown in the following picture: 4-20mA Formulas Calling I
PLC Analog Input Conversion Formula
For any unit conversion on any PLC, you can use four function math with the following for PLC Analog Input Conversion Formula, which assumes integer math, as follows : PLC
PLC Problems Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting PLCs can be started by checking the healthiness status of CPU, I/O Modules, Fuse Blow-out and different PLC Failure reasons including wiring, field transmitters healthiness status or transmitter configuration,
PLC Analog Input Scaling
An Allen-Bradley SLC500 programmable logic controller (PLC) uses a 16-bit analog-to-digital converter ( in its model 1746-NI4 ) in analog input card to convert 4-20 mA signals into digital number
