What is an analog input-output
Answer Posted / yousuf
In instrumentation the analog refers to the(4-20ma).
when the analog signal(4-20ma) goes to the input module in
the control system that is called analog input.
eg. the output of pressure transmitter
when the analog signal(4-20ma) comes from the output module
to the final control element in the field ie called analog
output.
eg. control valve
the digital signal in the instrumentation system varies
according to the application for eg we can take two states
on and off for off state the signal is 0v and the on state
the voltage 24v
digital inputs means the signal goes to the digital module
for eg the signal of pressure ,flow ,temperature switch.
digital output means the signal comes from the digital
output module for eg the signal to solenoid valve in the
esd valves

I was working on calibrating turbidity transmitters endress+hauser at effluent polishing plant.We calibrated using NTU buffers.What happened is that when we immersed the sensor, everytime we raise and lower the sensor gradually, the reading will vary.my question is that is there any specifications on what is the required distance from the bottom of the container with buffer to the face of the sensor?Is it ok to install the sensor in a medium which has turbulence specially if bubbles are present?
