applications of 1-5v and 4-20ma?

Answer Posted / adrianmlopez

When we use 1-5V in the loop, it may have some loses to the
destination point since voltage dissipated when the
conductor is very long.When we applied current, it can't be
dissipated even a kilometers away from the source to the
destination point. Since we do an instrumentation,
instrument or equipment needs an accurate value,we do not
use voltage but 4-20mA instead.But it may depend on some
other applications,for instance if your output variable
needs voltage,why used 4 to 20mA, right.

Define the difference between a stable versus an unstable controlled system and some of the tools you might use to be able to detect when this is happening and assumptions used for control system application design that could contribute to instability
