4-20mA Signal Systems

Industrial 4–20mA signal generator and reader design, sensor interfacing, calibration and monitoring systems.

Overview

What this service covers

Industrial 4–20mA current-loop design — signal generation, loop reading, sensor interfacing and calibration for process instrumentation and plant monitoring.

Client Problems

Problems this service solves

  • A legacy 4-20mA sensor needs to interface with a modern microcontroller.
  • An existing loop reader drifts or isn't calibrated correctly.
  • A signal generator is needed to simulate a sensor for testing a PLC or controller.
  • Signal conditioning needs to be isolated and noise-resistant on a noisy plant floor.
Capabilities
