Determine Voltage Drops at Respective Flow Rates

Trace the path of current in the signal wiring, then determine the following voltage drops at the respective flow rates. Assume a power supply voltage of exactly 24 volts DC:

Voltage across FY-14 resistor = __________ ; Flow rate = 100 GPM

Voltage between terminals TB40-3 and TB40-4 = __________ ; Flow rate = 200 GPM

Voltage across FT-14 transmitter terminals = __________ ; Flow rate = 175 GPM

Voltage between terminals TB64-8 and TB27-15 = __________ ; Flow rate = 200 GPM

Solution:

Flow Transmitter Loop Diagram

Voltage across FY-14 resistor = 2.6 volts ; Flow rate = 100 GPM

Voltage between terminals TB40-3 and TB40-4 = 19.8 volts ; Flow rate = 200 GPM

    From the diagram, the flow transmitter range is 0 to 250 gpm

    Now Calculate the loop current at 100 gpm, it is 10.4 mA

    Calculate Voltage, V = I.R = 10.4mA x 250 = 2.6 v

    Voltage across FY-14 resistor = __________ ;
    Voltage between terminals TB40-3 and TB40-4 = __________ ;
    Voltage across FT-14 transmitter terminals = __________ ;
    Voltage between terminals TB64-8 and TB27-15 = __________ ;
    if 80 GMP. thank you.

    Voltage across FY-14 resistor = 2.6 Volts ; Flow rate = 100 GPM
    Voltage between terminals TB40-3 and TB40-4 = 24 volts ; Flow rate = 200 GPM
    Voltage across FT-14 transmitter terminals = 24 volts ; Flow rate = 175 GPM
    Voltage between terminals TB64-8 and TB27-15 = 24 volts ; Flow rate = 200 GPM

    Why is the voltage between terminals TB40-3 and TB40-4 = 19.8 volts ; Flow rate = 200 GPM? It should be 24 volts because the analog output and inputs is 4 to 24 mA and constant voltage of 24 voltage because parallel connection from the PS to FT
