Answer / chandrasekarapandian

4-20 mA is the universal standard.
Justification:
1. easily splittable ranges 0 % = 4mA
25 % = 8mA
50 % = 12mA
75 % = 16mA
100 % = 20mA
2. 4 to 20 mA passed over 250 ohms coil resistance will
produce a suitable voltage sourcew of 1 to 5 volt.
3. LIVE ZERO
If our sensor to PLC wire connecton is open PLC reads 0mA
where as if the input of sensor in ZERo PLC reads 4mA.

Answer / srinivasan narayanan

Most of the Transmitters output used 4 -20mA. This is because to identify whether the transmitters are live or not

if the Transmitter shows 4 mA it's a live Zero

if the Transmitter Shows 0 mA it's a Dead Zero

Answer / seshu

when we are using 0 to20ma if any case cable is damage it
carry o ma signal continues so we are using 4 to20 ma

Answer / kalpit thakkar

Instrument has own Load of 3mA. so we go for 4-20mA. & Also IEC Approved to 4-20 mA.

Answer / rathod mukesh

0 - 20 ma range is not use in the instrumentaion as standard range because if we use 0 ma for zero process parameter value, if any reason loop wire become break although plc or micro controller get 0 Value at unkown process parameter value and its understand process is in healthy condition but actcully fault is occur in physical data(0-20 ma) transmission link . the plc or micro controller is not accept proper value of process prameter. And we cant define live zero of process parameter. Use to 4- 20 rane ma we easily define live zero.

Answer / rathod mukesh r

If we use 0 - 20 ma rage as standard then we cant define live zero .

Answer / nilesh

This is a universal standard adopted.4 mA at 0% ensure live
zero.

You are looking at the RS-485-side of an RS-232/RS-485 converter and the power supply voltage for the converter is +5V. Under idle conditions (no transmission), and assuming you have enabled the RS-485 output: what would you expect at: (a) Output A measured against output B (b) Output A measured against ground (c) Output B measured against ground

HELLO FRENDS ,, I M IN THE MIDST OF TROUBLE .. JUST LITTLE HELP ME... SUPPOSE ,, I HAVE A CLOSE VESSELE TANK ( HEXANE MEDIA ) ,, I M USING ROSEMOUNT 2051 DPT FOR LEVEL APPLICATION .. ITS CALIBRATE RANGE IS.. . 0 TO 950 MMH20 ..I DID CALIBRATED DPT WITHOUT REMOVING IMPULSE LINE OF HIGH AND LOW TAPPING.. & WITHOUT DISTURB 3 WAY MANIFOLD..!!! BUT ,,, DURING CALIBRATION I SELECT RANGE BY HART LRV IS 900 MMH20 & URV IS 1300 MMH20 ,, BUT ,TANK LEVEL SOMETIMES 100 % AT 1100 MMH20 , SOMETIMES 1300 MMH20 ..IN THIS CONDITION .. WHOLE LOOP FAILED ,, MAIN THING IS THAT ,, HOW TO CUSTOME RANGE SELECT ?? AND IF I USED RANGE OVER THE ORIGINAL CALIBRATE RANGE ,,,THEN WHAT ERROR WILL BE COME ??? HOW TO ZERO CALIBRATION OF DPT... HOW TO ZERO TRIM BY MANIFOLD ?? AND FOR TANK LEVEL PURPOSE ... WHICH UNIT I CAN USE ??? IS THERE ANY CALCULATION OR CALIBRATION .. IF YEH .. THEN PLZ JUST GIVE ME CALIBRATION STEPS FOR DPT.. THANKS YOURSSSSSSS
