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 the loop. The transmitter controls

Why 4-20 mA Standard is so popular ?
4-20 mA Standard 4-20mA has an inherent ‘live zero’. Zero engineering units is 4.0mA, not 0.0mA. 0.0mA indicates an open circuit, a failure or a fault mode like cut wires
Why Use a Current Loop?
A Little Bit of History Before the advent of electronic circuitry, process control was a wholly mechanical endeavor. Facilities used pneumatic control signals where controllers were powered by varying pressures
Basics of 4-20mA Current Loop
The 4-20 mA current loop is a very robust sensor signaling standard. Current loops are ideal for data transmission because of their inherent insensitivity to electrical noise. In a 4-20
