why 4-20 mA signal is preferred over a 0-10V signal
Answer Posted / ibrahim s
0-10V :-
1. Voltage droup occurs.
2. Not able to find open circuit(Normally the circuit in
open condition o/p is "0", In 0-10V signal level starts
from 0V itself, so that can not able to find open circuit
easily)
3. Noise interference is high.
4-20mA :-
1. Easy to find the open circuit(because this signal level
starts from 4mA, if the circuit in open the output shows
0mA, so we can find easily the open circuit) .
2. Less noise interference.
3. Current measures remain same in any point of the signal
line.
So that 4-20mA is preferred over 0-10v

The company where I am working, their is rosemount 5400 series radar type level transmitter, it is meant to show level of filled tank, but along with the level it is showing temperature also, so my question is how a onon-contact type radar type level transmitter can show temperature even if it does not have any contact with the fluid?
