How a 4-20 mA current loop works

How a current loop works A typical 4-20 mA current loop circuit is composed of four individual elements: a sensor / transducer; a voltage to current converter (commonly referred to as a transmitter and / or signal conditioner); a loop power supply; and a receiver / monitor. In loop-fed applications, the four elements are connected …

HOW TO CALIBRATE DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE TRANSMITTER?

What is a Differential Pressure Transmitter? The Differential pressure transmitter is commonly used in industries as pressure measuring instrument. It is a device that measures two opposing pressures in a pipe or a vessel. This equipment will sense the difference in pressure between two ports and produce an output signal with reference to a calibrated pressure range. In the Differential pressure transmitter, as …

Difference between Voltage signal systems & Current signal systems

Voltage signal systems The use of variable voltage for instrumentation signals seems a rather obvious option to explore. Let’s see how a voltage signal instrument might be used to measure and relay information about water tank level: The ”transmitter” in this diagram contains its own precision regulated source of voltage, and the potentiometer setting is …

Stroke checking of control valve

What is Stroke Checking of Control Valves? All control valves need to be stroked after some time in service. This is due to the fact that the valve is a mechanical mechanism that has physical components. These components must constantly be in excellent functioning condition in order to prevent the valve from failing. Stroking the …

What are the differences between transducer and transmitter?

What is Transmitter? Transmitters are instruments used to generate and send electromagnetic waves which includes message or signal. A transmitter produces radio waves with the help of Antenna. Transmitter itself combines a sensor and the sensor measures the process variable and generates proportional signal. What is the working principle of Transmitter? The working principle of …
