Precise Current-Transmitter/Source-Sink Calibrator Has Wide Compliance Range
Many industrial and control applications use analog current loops as the physical link for measurements and actuator control. Although several ranges are used, the most popular is still the 4- to 20-mA standard. Loop accuracy depends on the transmitter’s ability to transform the sensor signal to a current. It also depends on the stability of the current-transfer function (measured at the receiver) with respect to temperature, physical length of...
