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 ...

In The basics of 4-20mA current loop transmitters, I discussed the basics of 4-20 mA transmitters, a popular communication method to and from field elements in factory automation and other industrial ...

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 ...

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 ...

What will be the fate of fieldbus and 4-20mA network communications in the face of Ethernet’s growing use in industrial networking? This is a question that many are asking as industrial Ethernet ...
