The minimum required loop voltage depends on the voltage needed to drive 20ma (or 21.5mA if fail-safe high is used) through the total loop resistance.

Even if the power supply voltage sags/drops slightly, it is still possible that the loop will function properly, because it depends on the actual loop resistances and the lift-off voltage required by the transmitter

If there is not sufficient loop voltage, it will become apparent when the transmitter fails to go above a certain milliamp output, because there is insufficient voltage to drive more current through the loop's total resistance.

In some cases of low loop voltage, a field transmitter will cycle on and off, re-initializing each time it fails to push sufficient current because it is voltage-starved.

If the loop wiring is sized properly, then a voltage drop is likely due to
- a bad connection in junction box
- in some cases a ground loop from damaged wire insulation
- adding too many additional loads - more transmitters than the power supply is rated for
- failing power supply
- adding another device in series in the loop, like an indicator, recorder, or I/O module input that pushes the total loop resistance too high. Carl Ellis

In split range control, we will control 2 outputs with time interval. Eg :(with 4-20 ma signal, for 4-12 ma we are operating one control instrument like valve & for 12-20ma we are operating other control instrumet (other valve). If we get a signal of 15ma to first instrument (Valve 1), what will happened to the first valve, and if we get signal above 20 ma to 2 valve what will happened ?
