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.

Lux meter is the measuring device to measure the lux level of lighting fixture. in industrial sector two types of lighting fixture is being used as street lighting purpose 1. HPSV (Sodium) and 2. HPMV (Mercury). HPMV having white light which is an combination of red, blue and yellow colour, while HPSV haivng Yellow lighting. in HPSV red & blue colour will be absent. during measurement of the lux level of HPSV and HPMV fixture. 1. Lux meter can measure the actual lux level of both fixture? 2. or it will show false reading for HPSV fixture light as it has only yellow light present. please give me answer
