Editor’s note: This month we are pleased to have Colin Wells from Texas Instruments as our blogger. In modern industrial control systems, 4-20 mA current-loop ...

Industrial temperature sensors are widely used with 4–20mA current-loop transmitters in industrial control and automation. In the current loop the temperature sensor converts a temperature into a ...

The MAX12900 is for automation and process control, loop-powered 4-20mA current transmitters, remote instrumentation and smart sensors. The device increases system accuracy with 10 ppm/°C voltage ...

The I/O capabilities built into most microcontrollers make it easy to measure the analog world. Say you want to build a data logger for temperature. All you need to do is get some kind of sensor that ...

Galvanically (that is, optically or electromagnetically) isolated 4- to 20-mA current loops offer robust noise immunity and tolerate long cable runs. These advantages, combined with simple unshielded ...

To reduce noise and voltage drops in analog voltage signals, the market place has adopted an analog current (4-20mA) output as its sensor signaling standard. A very robust signal, 4-20mA current ...
