What is passive connection of instrument in different type of I/O module?
The output of a field instrument or analyzer that makes a measurement and provides a conditioned, high level signal like 4-20mA is characterized as either active or passive.
An active output is powered internally by the instrument. These are 3 or 4 wire instruments with a separate power wire or wires.
A passive output requires a DC power supply in series with its output in order to excite or power the output. This done to
- limit field wiring to 2 wires
- reduce the likelihood of a ground loop due to difference in ground potential between the field instrument and the receiver.
So, a connection of a passive (2 wire, loop powered) device has to include connections to a DC power supply, observing correct polarity at the field device and the receiver's analog input.

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?

HOW TO SOLVE PROBLEM WITH ENRAF LEVEL TRANSMITTER 854 ATG THAT PASSWARD DO NOT Exist INTO TRANSMITTER TO ADJUST LEVEL WITH PORTABLE PET 847, WRITTEN WRONG PASSWORD , I AM SURE THAT DEFAULT PASSWARD (W2=ENRAF2) IS THIS TRANSMITTER NEED TO REPLACE SOFTWARE AND HOW?
We Have Two Field bus Pressure Transmitters of Different Sensor Range (I.E One is of Lower range and Another is of Higher Range).Is same Process Line. My Question is Can i provide Saturation Limit to my field Bus Transmitter as We can provide Saturation current limit to HART Instruments. As During Low Pressure Both Working OK ,But During High Pressure, transmitter with Lower sensor range Goes to Fault mode as Beyond its Sensor Limit it can Measure, So may I provide Saturation point Some where to Suppress This Fault during High Pressure.
