The accuracy of a 4-20 mA transmitter depends on the integrity of its current-loop path, which must be free of shunt paths and ground loops, both within the transmitter and external to it. External to ...

The 4- to 20-mA current loop is ubiquitous in the world of controls in manufacturing plants. Discrete logic, microprocessors, and microcontrollers easily cover the digital portions of control schemes, ...

Using an analog temperature sensor, an op amp, a transistor, and a low-dropout linear regulator, this circuit provides a 4-to-20-mA output over a 3.75- to 28-V compliance range (see the figure).

Current-mode control loops (particularly the popular 4- to 20-mA controls) are used in many industrial applications because of their immunity to induced EMI from motors, contactors, relays, and other ...

NORWOOD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Analog Devices, Inc. (NAS: ADI) introduced today the CN0267 demonstration circuit for a loop powered HART® (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) enabled smart ...

Two-wire transmitter technology came about from an agreement among various instrument suppliers in the 1950s to standardize on 4-20 mA current loops as a means of sending a flow, temperature, pressure ...
