I have read a reference to motor speed and direction
controller that use or used a bipolar +/- 20mA as an input
demand signal, but that's the only use I've ever heard of.
Bipolar +/- current signals are rare in the process
industries. Even the TTY teletypewriters of yesteryear
used a unipolar current loop, not a bipolar current.
That's not to say that it can't be done, and many industrial
analog inputs have bipolar +/- DC voltage functionality,
like -50 to +50mV, -1.0V to +1.0V, or -12 to +12V dc, and
Phoenix Contact has an instrumentation signal isolator that
has bipolar current output at +/- 20mA, but I haven't a clue
what one would use the bipolar function for.
Of course, pumping a bipolar current through a precision
dropping resistor would provide a bipolar +/- dc voltage
signal.

Q1: Consider part of a control loop, which excludes the transmitter, consisting of a process, a controller and a control valve which may be represented by two dead times of 0.5 min each and three exponential lags of 0.8 min., 1.0 min. and 1.5 min. respectively. We wish to express this system as an overall first order plus dead time (FOPLD) model ie gain, time constant and process dead time. (We will see later that this is often done, to simplify controller tuning). For this exercise, gain is considered to be 1.0. (A) If the transmitter is a flow transmitter whose behaviour can be described by a dead time of 0.2 min. and an exponential lag of 0.5 min. in terms of the overall dead time and overall first order lag how can the system behaviour be approximated ? Overall dead time = Overall time constant = (B) If the transmitter is a temperature transmitter with a temperature sensor in a protecting well whose behaviour can be described by a dead time of 0.7 min. and an exponential lag of 15 min. how can the overall system behaviour be approximated now? Overall dead time = Overall time constant =
