what is the difference between active and passive loop ?

Answer Posted / rahul sr

Passive Loop: The transducer must be provided by an
external power supply for its working. Then it generates
the signal according to the Process parameter. This may
have either 2 wires, 3 wires or 4 wires.

Active Loop: There is no need to give external power supply
for the transducer. The sensor itself generates signal
without giving power supply. This will have only 2 wires.

We Have Two Field bus Pressure Transmitters of Different Sensor Range (I.E One is of Lower range and Another is of Higher Range).Is same Process Line. My Question is Can i provide Saturation Limit to my field Bus Transmitter as We can provide Saturation current limit to HART Instruments. As During Low Pressure Both Working OK ,But During High Pressure, transmitter with Lower sensor range Goes to Fault mode as Beyond its Sensor Limit it can Measure, So may I provide Saturation point Some where to Suppress This Fault during High Pressure.
